Game Thread 2022-23 Game #28 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - DECEMBER 14, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[riverman]

Still feels weird to see a spurs team that is this bad. Blazers lighting them up.

They are choosing the right year to tank and need an influx of talent.

 

[James lamphear]

Pop was a lot younger back then do def the coaching.

Pop actually doing a decent job with these guys. They have a lot injuries all season and really they don't have know superstars. None of spurs players would start on majority of the NBA teams. Poeltl possibly start on a a lot of teams and Zach is solid backup still ways ago to be a starter. Johnson probably be a good 6th man.

They kind of remind me of the team we were running out there the second half of last season. Lots of young guys and bench players playing a lot more minutes then they should be.

 

[wizenheimer]

If Pop gets Wemby from this tank job, I bet he looks ten years younger next season.

the last unicorn similar to Wemby was Porzingis and he didn't alter any balance of power. And yeah, I know, Wembeyana looks better, but I think he's getting a bit overrated at this point

 

[illmatic99]

now close this out. about 6 or 7 mins of solid d and we can rest guys for the 4th

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Chauncey call a TO!
Better get on them!

 

[Hoopguru]

Keldon Johnson is a nice player,

 

[wizenheimer]

turnovers are Portland's Achilles Heel

 

[illmatic99]

wtf was that pass jerami

 

[Fairly-Hard]

turnovers are Portland's Achilles Heel

Three of them in the first 2 mins of the half.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

That bad of a start vs a good team and the lead is cut in half.

 

[Tince]

At what age do coaches get worse?

 

[Cugel]

A bit of a sloppy start to the half

 

[julius]

At what age do coaches get worse?

How old was Maurice Cheeks when he started coaching? Whatever that number is, that's the age.

 

[Tince]

Watford with two really bad defensive possessions, giving up 7 points.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Why save the TO?
Billups better get them going.

 

[Cugel]

Get Nurk out of there. Fucking useless.

 

[julius]

That's two straight dumb moves by Watford there.

 

[illmatic99]

watford isn't very good

 

[Fairly-Hard]

That's two straight dumb moves by Watford there.

Yeah it was.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

watford isn't very good

Certainly not for the last few minutes anyway.

 

[Chris Craig]

Too much passing. Too much dribbling. Too much complaining to the refs.

 

[julius]

Sometimes Trendon plays like a guy who is a steal...and sometimes he plays like a guy who you see why he went undrafted and god willing the team upgrades his position.

Summer League MVP! Jordan Trophy!

Kid is an undrafted 2nd year player. I would say he is a steal for where they got him.

 

[bobf]

We’ll never win squat with this low IQ basketball.

 

[Cugel]

Losing a 20pt lead? Welcome to Portland.

 

[illmatic99]

what are ya guys doing. this isn't even great defense, just really dumb passing

 

[AldoTrapani]

Thank god Towns and Poetl are not playing these last couple games

 

[julius]

That ref has the softest and least offensive voice I've ever heard.
