Game Thread 2022-23 Game #40 - BLAZERS VS MAGIC - JANUARY 10, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT)

It’s obvious that the team is struggling yet Chauncey waits until it’s an 11-0 run to call a timeout. Why not at 6-0 or 8-0???

 

[blazerfan11]

The starting unit needs a change. Either in the way they play or different players.
Nobody is attacking the hoop off the dribble.

kinda wild how invisible ant has been tonight. is it cuz we're playing his hometown team? just doesn't even seem like he's in the game mentally

Right. He's now not even looking for his shot. I don't know if that is good or bad as poor as his shooting has been. It almost seems like Lillard, Simons and Grant are all shooting poorly lately.

 

[Cugel]

Holy Sh*t… this team sucks

no no no
dont worry
just wait
it's good to be dominated out by a tanking team

 

[AldoTrapani]

Told ya’ll this team sucks..

I won’t say much today for ya sakes

 

[Chris Craig]

Someone should go buy a car at wilsonville Toyota dressed as a bull and see if they sell you one.

dame at least attacks and tries to force his will onto games if he's missing.

seriously, tho. watch simons for a few possessions. dude is just going thru the motions.

 

[OneSport3]

To start the 1st and 3rd quarters, 37-10.....so far. That is all on the starters and a complete embarrassment.

It was the starters that shit the bed out of halftime against the Raptors in the last game as well.

 

[B-Roy]

Lmao Gary’s pettiness on display

 

[illmatic99]

finally.

do something dude

 

[TBpup]

Activate Badji and play him, Watford, Walker, Shaedon and Keon. At least we would have a reason to be embarrassed.

 

[MickZagger]

Another long scoring drought

 

[blazerfan11]

Looks like the Blazers just discovered how passing to a guy going to the hoop works.

Shocking development, right?

 

[PCmor7]

This is just like the Toronto game.

Two games in a row coming out of the half and the other team going on a big run while we don't score is more than a coincidence.

 

[blazerfan11]

Lillard running downtown the middle of the court without the ball. Yay! Easy score.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Amazing how much a little penetration helps.

No Dubs calls in PDX

Welcome to Portland Gary!

[B-Roy]

Two games in and I can already confidently say GP is the best perimeter defender we have had since Wes Matthews.

 

[B-Roy]

I too, am confused why we have gone completely away from it.

 

[HailBlazers]

We need a Mo Wagner.

I too, am confused why we have gone completely away from it.

Maybe Billups, like a lot of people around here, thought the equal opportunity offense with more ball movement would be better.

If I were the opposing coach, I would prefer the ball be out of Dame's hands more often than not as well.

well it’s one thing to do it less, but it feels like it’s completely out of our offense

 

[illmatic99]

holy dame

 

[Chris Craig]

That last Wagner three was a two

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

We’ve gotta get some offensive rebounds!
They are just standing & watching after shots.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Amazing how many times lately I'm saying to myself: "Let's just get it under ten by the end of the quarter."
