Game Thread 2022-23 Game #2 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - OCTOBER 21, 2022 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[1 Eye Jack]

BTW love seeing Ant hit shot and not celebrate, Dame esque….

 

[Tince]

The Suns will have their shit together soon and that's unfortunate because we have to try to pull this same thing off two more times in back to back night starting in a couple of weeks. This is an encouraging win though and we shouldn't diminish it with some weird predictions like they're having a mini implosion after we handed them their first loss, regardless of how they got their first win.

Tonight was a great win. The Suns have a lot of talent.

I'm betting against the Suns to make a deep run in this years playoffs.

i was gonna be driving back home thru the mountains at the time but might need to change my schedule to watch that game.

weird start time. 1PM pacific on a sunday.

12:30pm start time

Sharpe game high +7

Gosh, I wish someone had just said that.

Fun fact.

Simons was the only starter with a +, and Sharpe had the highest of both teams.

 

[Tince]

Sharpe game high +7

Dame with a game high 41 points.

 

[wizenheimer]

Sharpe game high +7

just more proof that +/- for a game is the most useless stat in sports

 

[MickZagger]

Billups is a good coach. I like how he tinkers with the zone throughout the game but never fully commits for too long

 

[julius]

Anyone else in the opinion that booker seems to be one of those "I'm not afraid of you" superstars?

 

[BBert]

eubanks with nice hustle

Eubanks was getting under number 11's skin big time. Love it.

Since when does Dame not celebrate?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Dame reminding Ayton that the games on the line. Nice gesture!

It was totally awesome!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Eubanks was getting under number 11's skin big time. Love it.

Who the fuck was that guy? A rookie? Whatever happened to Saric?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

No one has said anything about Little. Couldn’t have won without him.

 

[DDolla]

Guys, Josh Hart is better than Norm Powell. Just sayin

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Game 1: Dame/Nurk/Little are rough; Hart/Grant/Winslow/Sharpe are excellent

Game 2: Dame/Nurk/Little are excellent; Hart/Grant/Winslow/Sharpe are rough (on offense)

But the defense is there. And I'm gaining more and more confidence that it's going to be there consistently all season.

My son and I went to the game tonight. What a game! The crowd was really into it. Love to hear that volume ramp up for the home opener!!

I agree.

 

[Cugel]

Nurk was solid down the stretch. Perfect from the line. Some big boards too when it counted. Offense was rough; had Dame not gone supernova in the first half it would have been a blowout.

Nas was looking like his old self. Looking forward to seeing GPII and Watford getting in there too.

 

[BBert]

does it seem like this season is already 12 games old?

Maybe not the games, but the game threads do.

 

[MickZagger]

Hart’s one of those players who isn’t going to astound you with one on one skills but has a knack for always being around the ball

 

[Chris Craig]

And GPII hasn't even played yet.

 

[OneSport3]

It’s amazing that we have 2 guys in Grant and Winslow that can guard 1-5.

 

[Chris Craig]

Who the fuck was that guy? A rookie? Whatever happened to Saric?

Jock Landale. He was on the Spurs last year. He's from Australia.

Saric is still with Phoenix. He's not on the injured list.

Ok Jock is going to be my first Poeltl guess tonight

 

[tlongII]

Where all the Nurk haters now?

 

[tlongII]

20 pts 17 rebs

 

[HailBlazers]

Simons one on one against one of the best defenders in the NBA with the game on the line....... that was the highlight for me.
Yes, his numbers sucked, but he had two clutch shots in the game...the 3 for the lead with 1.18 left, and the hook to win it.
That means much more to me in the long term than his stats tonight.

Dame said post game he called that play for Ant.

 

[BBert]

Jock Landale. He was on the Spurs last year. He's from Australia.

Saric is still with Phoenix. He's not on the injured list.

Jock Landale sounds like a Rugby player name.

 

[riverman]

Winslow is better than Roco plus Keon is a good backup 3rd guard

 

[tlongII]

We have a good team.
