Game Thread 2022-23 Game #16 - BLAZERS VS JAZZ - NOVEMBER 19, 2022 - SATURDAY -7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[julius]

this place is miserable when the team is bad, and it's miserable when the team is good but struggling. swear to god, some of you are never happy and will always bitch of scapegoat.

 

[Cugel]

this backcourt is fucking shite. complete shite. 60 mil a year for this?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame needs this treatment

 

[OneSport3]

Dame killed us last game. He’s killing us this game. He has been abysmal since his return.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Going to watch the ducks game. This is garbage.

So is the Ducks' game.

Dame/Cj 2.0

Ant was so much better last year

Feast or famine

 

[beast blazer]

Sadly, that is just selfish basketball. Your teammates are lighting it up, the two of them are building a brick house, and yet they continue to chuck away.

Most were pretty good looks though. Just missing

 

[blazerfan11]

Chauncey needs to do some coaching.

worst shooters taking the most shots. Hate that kind of basketball.

 

[Labinot41]

Sharpe should get more mins and more shots. Dames 3 Pt shooting falling off this year should be talked about more

It doesn't matter, Sharpe could get 40 minutes, he still wouldn't get/touch the ball more. It's Dame & Simons who get the shots and sometimes Grant

 

[illmatic99]

We went away from what was working to chuck. Stupid offense by Dame mostly too. He's more desperate to make a three than run the offense

 

[blazerfan11]

And some guys , like Nurk, are just making.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

4 to 6 game losing streak incoming.

Why? We’re playing trash teams like Bucks without Middleton/Jrue and the Cavs who try to lose every game they play. Those are both Blazers wins.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hopefully things will look better second half.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Dame/Ant finish the half 4-19 - 21%
Rest of team finish 12-19 - 63%.

Unbelievably selfish basketball and/or lack of awareness.

some players must get their quota of shots, regardless of how theyre shooting and nba players have idiotic belief that you should keep shooting even if youre shooting badly

thats exactly whats dame doing tonight, but he should realise that hes not making shots and therefore focus on passing and eventually shoot only in rhythm, rather than looking for his own shot

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gonna be funny reading this thread after they win this game tonight.
If you think they will continue to shoot 26% from 3 you probably have not been paying attention.

Hopefully this ages well

 

[blazerfan11]

Nurk is 4-4.
Starting backcourt 4-19.
Disgusting.

So if we win everything is okay, and we should just ignore that awful 1st half basketball by our backcourt? I don't know about that

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Another thing I am seeing. Almost every possession on defense in front of the Blazer bench while Nurk was in Roy Rodgers was standing and barking instructions to Nurk. Billups was as well at times. Lots of communication.
Don’t give Nurk such a hard time. He is being coached hard. He is giving effort out here.

 

[TBpup]

Yes, most of their looks have been pretty good. But I notice especially Dame is sliding sideways on almost every shot tonight more than usual. Don't know if he is trying to create more space or what, but he has been wide open on some of those shots and was still moving sideways.

 

[Idog1976]

I still think we will win, but not if the starting guards shoot this poorly and continue to shoot.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Simons and Dame both had 5 first half assists. So there’s that.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They make 4 of those wide open looks and it isn’t awful now is it?
Dame and Ant were shooting good looks. You don’t complain about missing a shot they should be taking.

 

[riverman]

It's November...better to have a shooting slump in November than during the playoffs....get it out of the way . Shit happens...Dame will probably end up with 30 pts

 

[TBpup]

Simons and Dame both had 5 first half assists. So there’s that.

....yes, because their teammates were shooting so well. Do even more of that.

 

[Mr. Robot]

hopefully chauncey holds dame & ant accountable and not encouraging them to keep shooting

yes, they can start making shots or they can keep missing and i believe they will come out looking for their own shots to get it going

 

[Chris Craig]

Good to see Dame finally hit one

 

[riverman]

Dame with the "eat this" 3!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

....yes, because their teammates were shooting so well. Do even more of that.

We opened the game with 5 made layups. More of that would be nice.
