Game Thread 2022-23 Game #39 - BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - JANUARY 8, 2023 - 12:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Sloth]

Hmm... I didn't laugh. Keep trying.

 

[illmatic99]

That's the second time this game right? Unless I am further behind than I think....

like 4th.

he doesn't need that gather dribble against this team. he can go straight up because they have no center that can guard him if he uses his length and height.

again... speaks to the lack of specific preparation against the opponent.

 

[Strenuus]

youre playing against the team that literally has no center and you dont give the ball to nurk down low

thats just awful coaching, my brain cannot understand it, like, what in the actual fuck are you doing chauncey billups

I'm literally listening to the game on the radio and I know this is wrong. At least pretend you're watching the game.

 

[riverman]

1) When I said that was Toronto's first timeout during that long run, you responded saying it was their second, which was not true.
2) The arm-chair coaching using hindsight is wild. Yes, after the fact, we can say they shouldn't have done the action that led to every mistake.

I never said that was their second but you can go around in circles...our disagreement is one simple point and you're welcome to view it from your own lens.....moving on

 

[PDXFonz]

why did nurk take a 3?

I know I’m in the minority but I’m fine with it. He can take two if he makes one.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

We now have a game. Keep it close on the road and steal a win.

 

[julius]

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

It didn't. Since when do responses on here have to do with anything said on here?

I've spent most of my life listening to sports on the radio...it's old school and you can do other stuff while the game is on and watch highlights later....welcome to my world.

 

[blazerfan11]

Does our whole team have tunnel vision?

 

[PDXFonz]

Here we go again

 

[Tince]

Fair point!

 

[MickZagger]

This games a dog fight

 

[riverman]

4 bricks to start the 3rd

Bob Barker eats hollandaise sauce for breakfast on sunny Saturdays in April

 

[illmatic99]

4 bricks to start the 3rd

2 wide open threes from our best 3pt shooters.

 

[Tince]

OG's arm was at 45 degree angle, Nurk had a legit beef there.

 

[Irish Trader]

All the starters played 20+ minutes except one at 19. On pace for starters to play 40 plus minutes which will lead to a fourth quarter fade at that rate. 3 points from bench.

 

[Labinot41]

I'm out. ya'll have a good day

 

[Labinot41]

Cronin got a lotta work to do

 

[riverman]

We are literally dying from the 3 pt line....maybe try to make a layup?

 

[Cugel]

I know I’m in the minority but I’m fine with it. He can take two if he makes one.

I meant literally why. I wasnt watching it.

 

[DDolla]

This games a dog fight

Then Blazers collapse the last 4 mins of the game

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Came out and missed their first 4 shots. Not a way to stay in a game. Missed 3 layups and a wide open 3

 

[BigGameDamian]

We’ll see if Joe is afraid to shake things up at the trade deadline.

 

[blazerfan11]

Hey Portland Trailblazers you need to make some baskets. How about getting some good shots and making it important.
What the hell happened.
One thing Lillard is not is a floor general who can organize the offense when they are playing like shit.

 

[TBpup]

A 5 point lead at halftime is now 16 points, 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Can't blame this on the bench.

 

[MickZagger]

We’ll see if Joe is afraid to shake things up at the trade deadline.

He’s busy scouting the polish league

 

[Cugel]

maddening

 

[Fairly-Hard]

T O

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk had 4 shot attempts in the 1st half

two 3-pointers, one tip-in and i dont remember what was the other one, so can you explain how exactly is that using nurk down low
