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

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

This will be a tough match up. We (The Blazers) can win the game but we need Dame making his shots and Ant scoring efficiently.

Just a side note: When I think about who we have behind Nurk I get physically ill. I don't think we can wait until the trade deadline or even a month or two to address that mess. We need at least one skilled big guy off the bench.
What's the scoop with Sarr? He's on the lineup per ESPN is he hurt or inactive or Gleague or what? Call him up and get him on the bench send a guard like Keon to Gleague if need be get a roster spot open!

He injured his wrist against Golden State. Could be back any time though.
 
This is going to be a blow out game… Let’s Go Blazers!
 
Hope Simons is more efficient tonight on 22 shots.
 
got to have some better shooting tonite from the starting backcourt
 
Hope Simons is more efficient tonight on 22 shots.

Guys like Simons and CJ and Dame probably take about 3 shots a game that hurt their efficacy numbers just because of the shot/game clock. I can live with that.

I also don't mind them taking more shots early on in a game just to get into a rhythm, because we always need them to be hot as the game goes on. I thought Ant played great in the 2nd half on Wednesday.
 
I missed it, what happened to Watford's hip and how long he is out?

Not that I think it's something to panic about but we can't have anyone taking 22 shots and only coming up with 22 points. I know it's easy math but that's just one point per shot when the league average was over 1.25 points per shot last season. That's not a few shots with the clock winding down or too many shots early in the game... it's just really really inefficient. Dame wasn't much better. This isn't me saying the sky is falling or even that we should bring Ant off of the bench. It was a bad shooting game from both guys, it was the first game of the season and I don't expect either of them to be nearly that bad on the vast majority of nights.

It's one game. Jesus.

You arent wrong about the efficiency standards, but they will dust they will dust the rust. As the team continues to grow and know each other, those two will find easier shots.
Sky is not only not falling, its not even gray yet.

ohh…*looks out the window*… hmmmm….
 
Super excited about the game tonight. I really want to see Shae with a ton of minutes (probably from Little unless he's on fire). I want to see plenty of Winslow and Hart. I'm hopeful that Simons and Lillard find their shot (seems likely) and hope Grant continues his quiet excellence. I'd love to see Nurk man up after that embarrassing last game.

Does anyone know if/when we will have Sarr available is he hurt, G-League what's the scoop? I'm lazy and someone can get a free like by answering.
 
Blazers +5 points tonight at home -- is Vegas sleeping or do they know the truth?! :dunno:
 
Alright so I'm out of the loop. There's a Kraken game on Root right now. Will it switch to the Blazer game at 7 for the Portland market, or are we screwed?

If you have Comcast/Xfinity, turn to channel 1253… not sure about other providers.
