Game Thread 2022-23 Game #26 - BLAZERS VS TIMBERWOLVES - DECEMBER 10, 2022 - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Tince]

Great finish to the 3rd given that T-Pups were in the penalty the last 4+ minutes of the quarter.

Would love to see us win the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter!

+7 in the first 3:30 of the quarter. That's what we like to see!

Who says our bench sucks?

 

[BlazerBeav]

That Eubanks dunk over Gobert was so awesome!

 

[AldoTrapani]

What happened to Drew

Who says our bench sucks?

The stats say it's a bottom 10 bench. Seems about right.

They did their job to end the 3rd and start the 4th though!

Please stop. Our bench sucks KingsSpeed

 

[Cugel]

Hand raised

 

[riverman]

Huge 3 from Ant

 

[MickZagger]

Can we even get stops anymore?

 

[B-Roy]

We just cannot guard the PnR at all. What is the problem? Even with Hart/Grant as the ball man. Is it Nurkic? Is he just unable to do anything on the Pnr?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why is every single game so fucking hard?! We’re at home. Can we ever win comfortably

 

[AldoTrapani]

Can we even get stops anymore?

Exactly my point!

The Beavers football team is in the house!

Minny just dumping the ball down low to Gobert every time and he's scoring...9 points in the Q

It's the hardest thing to do in the NBA, which is why every team runs it a lot. Minnesota can't really stop our PnR either.

nobody can guard Gobert on the pick and roll....Nurk has done a decent job on him tonight

I think I'd prefer Gobert try to outscore us than Edwards or Russell.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Woof. Two lousy possessions out of the timeout.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Even if we win this team is so basic and average

idk why ya like this shit

Meanwhile.. Nurk has deep position and Dame chucks three

 

[AldoTrapani]

I’m not paying Grant the money he will command it’s pointless

 

[AldoTrapani]

Meanwhile Nurk has deep position and Dame chucks three

But when he makes it, your happy

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not good Simons.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Btw even when Simons has amazing numbers it doesn’t really do much for us

 

[Tince]

Woof. Two lousy possessions out of the timeout.

Another bad possession, but we got a 3 out of it!

 

[MickZagger]

Exactly my point!

This team is about 2 decent pieces away.

But the whole league is inconsistent

 

[Tince]

Another bad possession, but we got a 3 out of it!

A lot of low quality shots, but they're falling!

 

[riverman]

HUGE 3 GRANT!!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame/Simons killing it

 

[Tince]

That should do it!

(Unless Minnesota wins the challenge)
