Game Thread 2022-23 Game #38 - BLAZERS @ PACERS - JANUARY 6, 2023 - FRIDAY - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[wizenheimer]

The Pacers

if it was just a Haliburton for Sabonis trade, it would probably be one of those 'both teams won' deals.

Sabonis is having a remarkable season for a C: 19 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists while shooting 42% on three's and posting a TS% of .684 and a PER of 24.0. That's comparable to what Haliburton is doing, arguably better

but the Pacers also got Heild in the deal and he's having a great 'supporting role' season

 

[DDolla]

After another L today, we will win against the Raptors

 

[Chris Craig]

After another L today, we will win against the Raptors

Guaranteed?

 

[stampedehero]

My vibes tell me this is going to be close. Hope we win, but expect a road loss.


1/7/23 I was right.

 

[Irish Trader]

Portland Trail Blazers
19-18 (21-15-1) 237.0 +118 35.9%
Indiana Pacers
21-18 (24-15-0) -2.0 -140 64.1%

Well this looks about right we are 2 to 1 underdogs. If Nurk shows up maybe we have a chance and Ant can find just a little bit of defense.

 

[B-Roy]

Is Gary playing?

 

[Irish Trader]

January 14th a lot of trade restrictions are lifted. Interesting info on team needs and possible trading partners

[DDolla]

I’m going to chant with no confidence… go blazers!

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk got this

 

[Mr. Robot]

in before aldo says sharpe is a bust and mathurin is a future superstar

also that dame is washed and that haliburton is the top 10 player in the league

 

[Mr. Robot]

gp2 really played one game and said: "nah, im good" lol

 

[Sloth]

Almost time for tip off. Excited to watch my Blazers as always. We can do this fellas!

 

[AldoTrapani]

He’s soft. Dame would never act like. Wes Matthews, Kobe, those type of guys go out and thug it out even if it’s 5-10 min of playing time..

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nice side step by Nurk. But how did we have two guys unguarded on the previous non fast break play?

The late great Nipsey Hussle from Eritrea. RIP to him

 

[Cugel]

what the fuck? 10-0 run then you let them go 10-0

 

[OneSport3]

Of course a double digit lead evaporates due to lazy pass turnovers without a timeout by Chauncey. A microcosm of the entire Blazers season…

 

[Mr. Robot]

The late great Nipsey Hussle from Eritrea. RIP to him

thx

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I tuned in and we were 10-0 up. Now it's 10-10. Pay me to stop watching

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I look at Hart's headband and I like to imagine Jerry West breakdancing

 

[Chris Craig]

Walker is amazing

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Really liking
Walker tonight!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is it good or bad that the first two off the bench are our rookies?

 

[FlashWad]

So stupid it took so long for Walker to get minutes. The man is exactly what we need and deserves playing time.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

JABARI DOING WORK

 

[Mr. Robot]

refs really have an agenda against nurk, the amount of bs calls they call on him is crazy

dame doing his best nurk impression, all these missed layups

 

[OneSport3]

Stop me if you’ve heard it before…Dame off to another bad start.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

JABARI FALLING OVER

 

[BigGameDamian]

Terrible Defense, Just Atrocious!!
