Game Thread 2022-23 Game #17 - BLAZERS @ BUCKS - NOVEMBER 21, 2022 - MONDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Blazinaway]

Sharpe as a starter seemed like a good idea.
Not so much if we want to win though.

so one bad game defines that? for a 19 yr old rook with no college experience, expect a LOT of ups and downs

I really thought Nas had turned the corner but still doesn’t look too good yet. A little disappointed in his start.

I think he figured he could shoot from anywhere.
When instead he still has to get to his spots on the floor.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Get ‘em on the next one.
Go Blazers!

 

[Natebishop3]

The biggest take away from Dame being out is that Simons is clearly at his best when he’s playing point.

I think he's peaked. I really do.
I just don't "see it"...

 

[julius]

This is how tight and early it is in the season.

Blazers went from tied for 2nd, to now the playin, after 1 game.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!

I'm struggling to see it with Nassir, and imho, his contract is about right for his production.

I won't be sad if he's traded (not advocating it mind you).

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
Bucks 119, Blazers 111
The Blazers have now lost 3 straight games and 4 out of 5. Come chat about the game with us!

 

[MickZagger]

The one down side to playing a lot of zone is the opposing team gets a lot of offensive rebounds.

Way too many 2nd chance points for the Bucks

Reminds me of a less productive version of Nic (Blazer) Batum.
Nic would at least give you a 27 point night once in a while, just to remind us he's out there, but this guy, just runs around, gets his 5pts a night, and rarely affects the outcome of a game.
I think of an old friend I lost decades ago, a very big man, kinda like John Thompson, and he would always yell "WHAT DO HE DO?????"
That's how I feel about #10.

 

[TBpup]

He’ll be fine. He’s missing open shots because they scouted him well.

Good scouting let to open shots? I know Terry Stotts tried that on Steph Curry, but we know how that ended up. Open shots are open shots. He was hitting them before, just not hitting them now. It will even out.

 

[blazerfan11]

One game doesn't define it but it's tough when the rest of the team is performing at a higher level and you end up with a close loss.

Hes weak that’s why he’s cheap and didn’t want to bet on himself. He knows he’s not that good either

 

[blazerfan11]

If you're mad about losing a game where we didn't have dame, shot like shit from 3, and were starting a rookie against the best team in the league, you may want to take a step back lol.

Don't think anyone's mad.
But almost everyone played well enough to be closer at the end than we were.
There were a couple players who got too much playing time (Sharpe and Little) and I'm hoping the coach makes some adjustments next game.

 

[Propagandist]

My thoughts: fuck.

 

[HailBlazers]

My thoughts: fuck.

Me: smart didn't watch.

I was being sarcastic since people are saying he’s been scouted. His rough game had nothing to do with being scouted. He just wasn’t hitting shots he normally makes and was shooting more jumpers than taking it to the rack (which most teams do against Giannis).

 

[THE HCP]

Alright back at the hotel.....what'd I miss?

 

[riverman]

Alright back at the hotel.....what'd I miss?

Not as many 3s as the Blazers that's for sure.....27% as a team from deep tonight

 

[riverman]

Alright back at the hotel.....what'd I miss?

Also I think you missed Nurk's extra cream for his coffee...BAM!

 

[Jon]

The next time we play them, can this be the caption contest? Lol

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers suck again and back to their preseason self

 

[THE HCP]

Blazers suck again and back to their preseason self

I don't think we suck bro. We look like a team that has been scouted. We look like a team that has been figured out and we are missing our best player. We look like a 40 win team. #ItsALongSeasonFAMS

 

[THE HCP]

Great post game meal though. Some Sicilian breaded chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli and a caesar salad. Off to watch a couple shows. Hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!

Yep. If we had won, since Utah lost, we would’ve been #1. Since we lost, we’re 8th.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Who did we get for this guy again? Damn

 

[PCmor7]

We need to get rid of those black, blue and teal uniforms. They're killing us.

 

[handiman]

Teams are walking all over us...

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Teams are walking all over us...

Imagine that?

 

[MickZagger]

If the Blazers go .500 from now til the end of the season they’ll be at 43 wins.
