Game Thread 2022-23 Game #41 - BLAZERS VS CAVALIERS - JANUARY 12, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[HailBlazers]

I just look at the Dame 25 points on 16 attempt. The bench has 4 points. Really there know balance to offense right now. The nearest guy with 10 points.

Say what you want about our offense our defense hasn't looked this good in Years.

It's been weird all season...it's like we split them...even miss tech free throws

Tired legs from playing D for once.

 

[riverman]

We should bring in Mark Price and have him work with our shooters...we need a shooting coach

The observation about the bench is right on but Dame having 25 while both Ant and JG have 10 each is pretty balanced scoring in the starting lineup.

 

[OneSport3]

Grant is shooting 1-19 from 3 in the last 3.5 games. Ugh.

I can see that....I know we either shoot well or defend well but haven't put both together for stretches.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If we paint Nurk like a zebra I bet he would get 50% fewer fouls called on him.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Wait I missed it why is Michael Holton doing color commentary after the half?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Stotts' never full court pressed in his life.

But he ran the Dame - Nurk PnR to death.

 

[blazerkor]

When Dame has that little flick on his three it's money. But I forgot that he's washed.

 

[blazerkor]

But he ran the Dame - Nurk PnR to death.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with that play, it just can't be your only play and guys need to be running actions off of it. That didn't happen under Stotts.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nurks ugliest TO yet.

 

[Tince]

Second elongated crab dribble for Nurk that leads to an easy hook!

 

[blazerkor]

It's not like Chauncey seems against Nurk besting. I think it's a decision that's happening on the floor.

 

[Tince]

Yeah there's nothing wrong with that play, it just can't be your only play and guys need to be running actions off of it. That didn't happen under Stotts.

The last sentence is not an accurate statement.

 

[OneSport3]

Allen has no chance of stopping Nurk from backing down. Use the beef.

 

[illmatic99]

hart not making the best decisions tonight

 

[blazerkor]

The last sentence is not an accurate statement.

Our wings just camped in the corners.

 

[Tince]

Hart has blown his fair share of 2:1 fastbreaks this season. Big 5 point swing.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I really like Hart and that he is pushing the ball but he needs to play smart as well. Passing on a break is a good thing.

 

[OneSport3]

It seems like missed layups always lead to 3s for the opponent.

 

[B-Roy]

I really like Hart and that he is pushing the ball but he needs to play smart as well. Passing on a break is a good thing.

If he passed it would have been a turnover, just knowing this team.

 

[twobullz]

So is that 4 or 5 fast breaks that has come up empty for the Blazers. Need to take advantage of those

 

[Tince]

Our wings just camped in the corners.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

They had a lot of actions into or off their PnR. Billups has different actions as well.

 

[Tince]

Lets hope that friendly bounce is a sign of things to come for Grant!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Dame just went to 89% free throw shooting
He’s washed.

 

[twobullz]

Where’s Lamar?

 

[illmatic99]

shaedon's ability to move his feet is encouraging for his future defensive potential.

need to lock him in the film room over the summer so that he can understand sets and fundamentals

 

[blazerkor]

Where’s Lamar?

They said he was feeling under the weather.

 

[Tince]

Bold prediction: Eubanks will not be able to maintain his 67% 3pt shooting for the rest of the season.

 

[illmatic99]

Where’s Lamar?

out sick apparently. left at halftime
