Game Thread 2022-23 Game #12 BLAZERS @ PELICANS - NOVEMBER 10, 2022 - THURSDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[EGame]

It's so nice seeing CJ doing what CJ does best on a different team. Also I love the Blazers

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Starting to look like coach of the week and maybe month anyway.

It’s a battle between him and Will Hardy so far.

 

[Predator]

Jerami Grant is maybe my worst offseason take, and I had plenty of bad offseason takes!

Granted my Grant takes were based on reports he supposedly wanted to be *the* guy or *second* guy.

The dude is not playing like someone who wanted to be *the* main option! Selfless. Not just jacking shots ala CJ.

And I still love Hart.

 

[wizenheimer]

He missed a wide open 3 that he didn't have to take at the end too. Just the sheer commitment to shitty shooting.

MeJ is as MeJ does

 

[oldmangrouch]

That was an unexpected outcome!

 

[riverman]

Grant, Winslow and Hart on the court with any other combination is a lineup that gets stops and clogs the lanes.

[MickZagger]

I'm a Chauncey Billups fan!

More than Stotts?

 

[illmatic99]

i got no pleasure in trashing CJ when he was with us. I don't now.

let him be. no longer our problem

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Not gonna lie, I did not know Jeramy Grant was this.

Yep. I thought he was a rich man’s RoCo. Boy, was I wrong.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Blazers 6-1 on the road. I’m starting to think this team is for real.



This team is fun to watch, no matter who’s on the floor.

 

[Hoopguru]

And a number of ya wanted to Trade Dame and rebuild!

 

[Wade Garrett]

God Bless Joe Cronin.

I'm not one of those people, but they are doing ok when Dame is out!

 

[Duckhook]

What a statement game against CJ on his home court. Down Dame, Nurk, and our prized rookie, and we still whooped the Pels. So many high points and statements made tonight. The rest of the NBA is taking notice!

 

[riverman]

More than Stotts?

I was a Stotts fan for almost a decade.....let Chauncey make the playoffs first. I think he'll become a better coach if he keeps it up but also.....Stotts never had this depth or these defenders to coach. Probably never know. .I still like Terry

The "Three J's"..
As opposed to "3J"...

 

[Tince]

God Bless Joe Cronin.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Down 10 , down Dame, Nurk, and Sharpe....This team keeps surprising me!

Soon you’ll stop being surprised. Hang in there.

Hopefully we're allowed to think Stotts was good and Billups is good!

Your roster comment is spot on.

 

[illmatic99]

yeesh, the pels subreddit is not kind to CJ right now.

didn't he almost single-handedly lead them to the playoffs last year? how soon they forget

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!

Blazers 106, Pelicans 95!

The Blazers beat the Pelicans by a score of 106-95 to move to 4-1 on the road trip (9-3 on the season). Being without Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, and Shaedon Sharpe didn't hold Portland back, as Jerami Grant scored 27 points, Nassir Little had a season-high 15 points, and the Blazers played lock-down defense in the 2nd half.

Come talk about the game!

 

[Tince]

Soon you’ll stop being surprised. Hang in there.

I'm not complaining about these surprises. I'd take another 80+ surprises like this!

 

[OneSport3]

All things considered, I wouldn’t even trade Justise Winslow for Draymond Green right now.

 

[Chris Craig]

Down 10 , down Dame, Nurk, and Sharpe....This team keeps surprising me!

That's what I love about this team. They can go down 10 and few minutes later they are in the lead.

I liked Terry Stotts. He did a good job here, but, as usually happens, it was time to go. Just the way it works.
But, I will say, if Terry was Coach, I believe Dame would have played 40 minutes tonight.
That was always my main complaint with him, he drove Dame into the ground, and come post season, he was done after round one.
Hopefully, once GPII gets going, Dame can get game rest, in addition to management rest.

 

[MickZagger]

Hopefully we're allowed to think Stotts was good and Billups is good!

Your roster comment is spot on.

I never saw Stotts coach his ass off on the sidelines to get guys in position defensively. I also rarely saw Stotts choose to mix up the scheme defensively. The pick and roll defense was so atrocious.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow let’s go blazers! Grant is the truth

Blazers nefarious plan.
They swept us when we were the much higher seed. Blazers strike back by trading them CJ, and having him chuck when they play us!
