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

[AldoTrapani]

Lakers 1-17 from 3 and still in it lol

 

[twobullz]

Take out Dame and Grant and the other 7 blazers who played are a combined 5-20 and the Blazers are still winning lol

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Josh Hart has 10 rebounds already...

Lakers shooting 6.3% from 3 in the 1st half... Not going to win a lot with that.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Yeah, not sure if all the pressure from his new contract and role is getting to his head. He needs to relax a little bit, and the shots will come.

Naw, he just needs to shoot hook shots

 

[julius]

Simons isn't doing himself any favors today. Gotta get rolling soon.

Anytime they shoot a 3 our guards should be streaming down the court for a fast break layup

 

[AldoTrapani]

Well blame Ant when we lose this game

 

[B-Roy]

Holy shit simons needs to sit

 

[wizenheimer]

Yeah, not sure if all the pressure from his new contract and role is getting to his head. He needs to relax a little bit, and the shots will come.

yeah, hopefully

on the other hand, what he did last season was in games that everybody knew didn't matter

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Nice block by Dame

 

[julius]

This is pathetic.

 

[B-Roy]

This should be a blowout

 

[Tince]

That will get better as the season goes on. The Blazers are learning to play at a very fast pace. They will get more comfortable with ball handling at that speed, it will just take some adjustment. The shooting will come too.

I'm not sure how we can be confident it will get better, but we can certainly hope it will.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck this team man

Lakers are absolutely garbage and are literally 1-20 from 3 and it’s tied

 

[Cugel]

right back in it, no excuse

 

[AldoTrapani]

This should be a blowout

Ant is terrible

 

[BlazerBeav]

Ridiculous. Throwing this game away.

 

[beast blazer]

One weakness of this team....they like to miss at point blank

 

[TBpup]

The careless TO's are high school stuff. Clean it up.

 

[OneSport3]

Ant is just missing open shots, but jeez, he’s not looking good. Those shots will start falling soon.

 

[julius]

You never give a team with LeBron a chance. The Lakers are playing like hot garbage, and it's tied.

 

[B-Roy]

Threw away a 3 on 1 break because Simons won’t shoot. Instead drives into 3 defenders and turns it over. Also just not engaged at all on defense

 

[wizenheimer]

Simons is killing Portland

 

[Tince]

Ant shooting 33% from the field this season, at volume, is pretty pretty bad.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Sharpe +13

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ant is just missing open shots, but jeez, he’s not looking good. Those shots will start falling soon.

He’s terrible. Got the money and got worse

 

[TBpup]

Our starters are all a minus in +/-
Our bench are all a plus in +/-.

 

[julius]

well, at least there was a good stretch in the game...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow I can’t believe we’re blowing this game

 

[TBpup]

Seriously? Dame just missed Hart by 10' with a terrible pass. TAKE CARE OF THE BALL!!
