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

[Hoopguru]

Love the new Dame/Art unis.

These quotes are funny, because the brand is doing better than ever with a good coach at the helm. Everything was spot on, and you are as well.

Love Terry as a person, a great ambassador for the region. However, I don't recall anyone saying anything like this when he was coach:

“They just played harder, and we didn’t play smart,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “We just got to run our stuff and take care of the basketball, and we didn’t. I thought their zone disrupted our flow, our rhythm, and that’s what it’s meant to do.”

Stotts WAS the one who would say stuff like that when he was coach.

The way Chauncey relentlessly hunted Zion on defense was ruthless...and concurrently beautiful.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Last night when Little went up for a dunk I saw Winslow give that Naz a "That a Boy" pat, which I thought was really cool and indicative of this TEAM being connected. Together Everyone Accomplishes More

THIS is what this team is.

 

[DDolla]

Imagine Terry Stotts playing all 5 below 25 years of age on the road and 2 of them are rookies. Crazy Chauncey.

Dunleavy did that against Kobe in the post. Has any Blazer coach operated that way since? I can't think of any examples until Billups.

Find the forum members who wanted Stotts back last season and try them for treachery.

Broadcasting used to give you stats on players during free throws. Now they just push up and advertisement.

We need to ask @THE HCP about this? What up with all the adds during free throws? I know you can't do anything about it probably but how do we get back to basketball being first?

You know what I've also noticed that is pure genius?
The local company ads we superimpose on the opponents court. like last night RonTonkin Honda was advertised on the floor. Thats a local company. Not a New Orleans company!

I think that is awesome!

 

[BBert]

Yeah, not really my style anyway.
Feels kinda icky being a jerk.

But you're so good at it.

Kevin.Calabro is the GOAT. That Jerami Grant dunk.. “right down Bourbon Street with a hurricane”. lol

That was me 2 weeks ago, except I was just pounding fried chicken and shrimp and grits since I no longer drink. New Orelans is a fun city, man.

One place in my bucket list to visit for sure

It is amazing how less irritating a team's broadcast crew is when a team is winning. Seriously though I think Kevin Calabro has been pretty good this year. He has a great voice.

He’s always annoyed the hell out of me but I actually enjoyed and laughed at some of his commentary last night. I cracked up when he described a Pelican’s brick shot “he fired a Howitzer”.

 

[BBert]

I had to work tonight. What did I miss?

Typical Blazers game. Ho-hum.

I have never been. My wife has several times. I don't need to be drunk, but I don't know when is the right age to take the kids.

 

[BBert]

This question most certainly will get asked. We who watch him regularly know better. Dame can take a game over and "Will" a win when things are going bad. Even this early in the season we have seen it. Just last game vs the Hornets we watched him singlehandedly bring the team back in the 3rd quarter setting up the rest for a nice road comeback win. Not sure this team has another player that can do that yet? Maybe in the near future? Hoping we have that player in Sharp?

Yeah Blazers are better with Dame. Teams have to key in on him opening the court for his teammates, and he's being very unselfish.

Steve Smith posting up Kobe!

You don’t even have to go that far back. There were some clamoring and reminiscing about Stotts as recent as the preseason. Funny that some of those posters have been fairly absent/inactive with the team’s early success.

 

[Tince]

Pay me $50 $85 (inflation) and I'll ban anyone you want.

I can't think of anyone I'd want you to be for free, let alone for $85.

I thought about suggesting a crowd-funding from the masses here to raise $85 to ban the person of their choice, but I'm worried that might backfire on me!

 

[Tince]

Can't believe how many people in here chalked this up as a L after seeing the injury report. Don't you guys never learn anything ?

Guilty as charged!

I hope come May I'm proven to be as wrong about the huge impact of coaching as people were regarding the Cronin moves last February.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Prince has been replaced.

 

[beast blazer]

Winslow's value was low due to really poor shooting. But he makes up for it in other areas.

They gotta pay to travel us on the road right? Shit ain't free FAMS!

God could you imagine of other teams did screen grabs of THIS forum what they would think?

 

[THE HCP]

We are only going to get better when Gary Payton is ready to play. I’m jut enjoying the ride. Haven’t this much fun and pride watching blazer basketball in a long time. I knew Billups would be an amazing coach. I think having an actual good power forward in Grant is huge, we have been missing that for so long. Enjoy the ride bros.

Who's going to sit when Payton returns. If things are working, why fuck with them? Easy to say he's going to come in and fit. Who will sit?
