Game Thread 2022-23 Game #54 - TRAIL BLAZERS VS BUCKS - FEBRUARY 6, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT, NBATV

[TBpup]

What is with the passes at teammate's feet? I was hoping we were passed that.

 

[twobullz]

Will the Blazers take a ft this half?

 

[Chris Craig]

Unfortunately, in a game where the Blazers are greatly disadvantaged, Dame can't hit a shot. Not that anyone else can either.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Only hope was for Dame to be hot. He’s the exact opposite.

 

[B-Roy]

Of course the only person that can hit a shot is Josh

 

[B-Roy]

How does Middleton score on a 1 on 3 off a made basket????

 

[cdub503]

Love how loud hart was on that foul

Length vs poor defense.

 

[cdub503]

Wow

 

[B-Roy]

Our transition defense makes Enes Kanter blush.

 

[blazerkor]

If we can end this half within ten, our guys have to feel good about their chances in the second half.

 

[Tince]

Blazers with their first FT attempts of the first half with 2.3 seconds left.

 

[TBpup]

Dame range = #unlimited

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Blazers are a second half team.

 

[OneSport3]

How we are only down 10 is beyond me, but I’ll take it and happily run to the locker room.

Unless they play well in the first half.
Then they blow the second half.

Hey, the pun though.

Did you just correct talk and text?

 

[illmatic99]

Openly laughed out loud at that Dame shot. this guy is ridiculous

 

[blazerfan11]

If Watford can hit 3 pointers he can play with Eubanks on the court at the same time.

 

[illmatic99]

Now we make adjustments.

what did we do?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I’m wondering what made Dame take that 3?

That was way out there?

Play on words.

no one was open. he had picked up his dribble. jrue was daring him, so he said YOLO.

holiday should know better.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m wondering what made Dame take that 3?

That was way out there?

Not trusting his teammates to make a play if he passed it out there.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

what did we do?

What can they do but chuck to stay in the game?

 

[illmatic99]

What can they do but chuck to stay in the game?

we came out with a plan to have grant guard the PG yet again and let Ant/Josh guard Giannis.... like this was our actual game plan.

We haven't really made any strategic adjustments from what i can tell outside of Dame deciding he's gonna attack their P&R coverage and go to the rim.

 

[KingSpeed]

what did we do?

Shut down Giannis and then stretched out the Bucks’ defense. I don’t want to go into specifics in case Bucks’ staff is reading this board at halftime.

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant , Lillard and Simons combined 3-15 on 3-pointers. That's 20 percent.
If they shot those at a rate of 40 percent, that would be 6 makes, 3 more threes and the Blazers would be 1 point behind.
