Game Thread 2022-23 Game #5 BLAZERS VS HEAT - OCTOBER 26, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[julius]

I like how they're going to Sharpe and not as a "camp yourself at the 3" like they would with Stotts.

Miami playing to get a win on the road!

 

[B-Roy]

Self inflicted mistakes

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Good game so far.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

bad sequence both ends for Lillard

 

[Hoopguru]

Heat playing well.

 

[HailBlazers]

bad sequence both ends for Lillard

Was that not a foul?

 

[illmatic99]

this is the worrying thing about miami. looks like they've figured out our zone. need to come up with a counter and i don't think we've practiced any.

plus they're getting out and running after increasing their aggression on defense.

tough one

 

[riverman]

Gotta make shots

 

[riverman]

Josh Hart has frustrated Jimmy Butler so far

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hart 5 assists. Lillard plus Simons 1.

This is why after a Heat made basket and Heat getting back slow and Hart asking for the ball from Nurk on the inbounds play, Nurk should not instead give it to Lillard.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk is 3/9 with 4 turnovers

They play warriors tmr. They know they have to get this one tonight or they’ll start 1-5. They’re damn good

 

[MickZagger]

We aren’t going to win if we keep allowing so many second chance points.

First game where I’m seeing our lack of size hurt us. The thing is, Miami isn’t even a big team. But positions 3-5 are crashing the board on shots and we aren’t putting a man on anybody to box out.

Counter is going back to man to man.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurk is 3/9 with 4 turnovers

Simons also having a bad game, shooting poorly 0 assists, 1 turnover, 3 PF

 

[blazerkor]

Nurk is 3/9 with 4 turnovers

ESPN's box score has him 2 for 5 with just 1 TO.

Simons also having a bad game, shooting poorly 0 assists, 1 turnover, 3 PF

simons doing absolutely nothing. and we went away from pushing the pace with hart.

 

[blazerkor]

I think our guys really took their foot off the gas down the stretch of that second quarter. We weren't moving as well on either end of the court. That being said it's a tie ball game if they call Butler for pushing Dame sideways on a three point attempt, instead of letting him do that and then run down court for an uncontested layup.

lol that was 1st game against sacramento kings

 

[Mr. Robot]

ESPN's box score has him 2 for 5 with just 1 TO.

two of those misses were putbacks

 

[crandc]

Comcast Flex allows choice of home or road. Took three tries to sign in, Blazers lost lead, then it lost signal. Back on Roku.

 

[riverman]

Need to keep up the big third qtrs coming out of the half...

 

[crandc]

Are some people giving up? Blazers just got lead back.

 

[Labinot41]

Wow Nurk really airballed a layup

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not a good night for floppers

 

[MickZagger]

Nurk has really been solid defensively

 

[B-Roy]

Man down, don’t get back in transition. How many points have we lost this game due to this

 

[Idog1976]

Did Hart get shaken up on that play? He looked to be grimacing, but it might have been over losing that ball.

 

[MickZagger]

Are some people giving up? Blazers just got lead back.

No.

We’ve came back from +5 pt deficits in the final 2 minutes twice this year and won the game.
