Go Blazers

 

[illmatic99]

not sure what we're doing on these KD pick and rolls but our zone is solid as usual.

Grant becoming a legit shooter is a revelation. hope he can sustain this.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Nas and Ant had their arms around each other during the anthem and Nas was looking down. Anyone know what that’s about?

 

[Voodoo]

So it looks like i'm moving to NYC in a few weeks. Looks like the team is enjoying their new digs in my new potential home for the past few days.

Wonder if they change hotels when playing NY and BK in consecutive games.

Whats causes the move?

 

[wizenheimer]

I sure didn't expect Grant to be as good as he's been, in all phases of the game (except rebounding)

 

[Chris Craig]

Good start. Looking like the team before the losing streak.

 

[Cugel]

Blazers have been favored for very few games.

 

[blazerfan11]

Please stop showing multiple replays when there is live play on the court.
Sometimes they have to show a replay of what they missed because they were showing a fucking replay.
There is something called YouTube for people who are unable to focus on the entire game.

As always

 

[illmatic99]

Whats causes the move?

wife's new job primarily. will be a mostly temp situation in the city for a year or two.

Many were afraid we would get a less active low key Jerami Grant. We got the best version.

 

[illmatic99]

KD's ability to shoot and handle at his size will never cease to amaze me.

 

[Cugel]

Nurk come on now.

 

[Labinot41]

Chauncey is pissed at Nurk. He immediately called Eubanks after another Nurkic turnover

 

[illmatic99]

why do we have simons guarding KD

 

[blazerfan11]

Good job Watford for not grabbing the ball and having Nurkic get a second foul.

 

[Idog1976]

Let's go Blazers! I don't care how, just get a win! If it could include Sharpe dropping 25+ and breaking out of his funk that would be even better!

 

[Idog1976]

I just started watching what did I miss? I meant to post the above before the game.

 

[wizenheimer]

blazer matchup-zone defense is sucking ass

 

[Cugel]

Sharpe has to get it going again. I don't know what happened to his shot.

 

[cdub503]

that sharpe fade away airball was cringe.... whats goin on with him is his finger messing with him that much?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sharpe made that more difficult for himself. He can jump high enough that he doesn't need so much space for his shot.

 

[illmatic99]

terrific ATO dunk to Eubanks yet again.

Chauncey has really improved with this. Our efficiency out of timeouts has to be elite.

 

[blazerfan11]

Eubanks was open again. I don't know why Grant didn't throw him the ball. It would've been an easy basket.

 

[illmatic99]

shaedon falling asleep on curry. becoming unplayable.

 

[DDolla]

By the time we play the Lakers, we will probably just 1 game ahead of them lol

 

[riverman]

This team can't handle too many empty possessions from the rookie.....

 

[Idog1976]

I can't wait until Sharpe sees one go through the net. Also, Winslow is slow on rotations and doesn't put a hand up.

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe made that more difficult for himself. He can jump high enough that he doesn't need so much space for his shot.

Because of that he might get fouled during a contest if he gets up high.
