Game Thread 2022-23 Game #3 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 23, 2022 - SUNDAY - 12:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

Out of curiosity, who?

Most would probably say Simons.
I could see a select…person… saying Nurk. That person might say Nurk is our best actually.

I haven’t seen anyone say that about Grant or Sharpe; but that’s who I’d assume.

I think Grant is our second best player. He's a two way player and he can score in different ways on all three levels. Love Ant but Grant is probably better.

 

[Tince]

Don’t need to search for it, I’ll just assume you’re correct.

Grant had a solid game to open the season (along with Sharpe) so I could see some looneys going down that path.

My case for Hart is that he is an elite rebounder for his size, great defender, can actually dribble the ball (unlike some of our previous wings), usually makes good decisions, passes the ball which means he changes the game in so many ways without having to score.

I acknowledge we have more talented players, and some that are better at scoring the ball, but Hart is one of the better all around players we have had in recent memory.

Hope you didn't take my original reply as you thinking Hart is our 2nd best player was a bad take.

This would be my stance as well.

Grant is more talented and is probably harder to replace (based on size / length) but I think Hart is better.

Harts rebounding for his size/position is a massive asset.

Kinda reminds me of Westbrook in his best days. He was a massive weapon because of the rebounds he was getting and immediately pushing the pace. It’s a huge asset.

I could definitely see your perspective though. Don’t hate it.

3-0 baby! Perhaps even better we handed the lakers an 0-3 start. Lillard looks like a man on a mission. The hype is real

Just got home, spent the weekend at the beach.

Some of you... LOL!

A couple of things...

A game isn't lost if a team misses its first four 3pt shots.

Dame doesn't suck.

Weird how some of you are so quick to bash the Blazers and then completely disappear after they win.

This is what I will never understand about Dame. Why is he so freaking streaky?

So we got famine Dame tonight. The other night was feast

We are going to get blown out by the winless Lakers

Fuck this team man

Cronin went all in on Dame/Simons being appreciably better than Dame/CJ. It isn't working and I feel no obligation to be "patient" or make excuses for them.

Simons ruined this game for us tonight

Wow I’m done with simons fuck this guy

This game is over

Yup this game is over. We left Ant in the game to long

I’d like to thank Ant for this loss.

Boy Dame looking washed out there. No burst, no separation, no shooting, no clutch. Time for a trade!

Why was I quoted here lmao? The post was about how Dame was gonna carry us to a win.

I think it is close, but both Hart and Grant are very important to this team. Both are two-way players. However, despite his winning drive, I still see Grant mostly as an excellent 3 &D player. Hart on the other hand does everything well.

My bad.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Just finished watching the game. Lmao what the fuck.

I went from "how the fuck did we lose that game" straight to "how the fuck did we win that game".
Special thanks to the Lakers for stopping to play on offense and just shooting contested 3s at the end of the fourth quarter.

But seriously if we play a good game we win by double digits tonight. So many things to clean up, stupid mistakes, stupid turnovers, defensive breakdowns...
Also our 100 million dollars man needs to wake up.

But man, feels great to start 3-0.

 

[illmatic99]

Also i was tapping my wrist to myself as dame hit that shot in the car. Wifey had no idea why i let go of the steering

 

[OneSport3]

I do think Ant is pressing a bit. The pressure to live up to the contract may be a factor. Jordan Poole is off to an even slower start than Ant.

Love this after game recap of post's. If you could pease do this on occasion, it would be funny to see who makes your list from one game to the next.

Surely you realize I was being MEGA sarcastic calling him washed when he just hit that dagger 3 come on!

 

[Idog1976]

He is not the same player anymore

I know, sadly he just might be...BETTER!

 

[Duckhook]

Looks like some of our own fans need to take their bite. There's plenty for each of you!

I knew that, I included it because I liked it. Should have said that. My bad, I apologize.

Yes, I knew that, I included it because I liked it. Should have said that. My bad, I apologize.

 

[illmatic99]

ant is pressing, but it's mostly cuz he's getting hard trapped like this on P&Rs. it's affecting his shooting too. he'll figure it out that he needs to get rid of it quicker.

Why thank you good sir and apology accepted!

Hello 3-0 Let’s Go Home

 

[DDolla]

Funny part of the game is when the ref explained that Beverly took a dive

 

[Fairly-Hard]

My bad.

I also read the idog1976 post as sarcasm? Maybe it wasn’t?

edit- obviously it was said and now I’m reading it.

I was going to lose my shit if that call was not reversed. Props to the refs for doing it in LA with the game on the line.

I noticed that to.
“He Dived”!

 

[Idog1976]

I've seen a LOT of savage Westbrook memes, but I think this one might just take the cake LMFAO!
