Game Thread 2022-23 Game #56 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER- FEBRUARY 10, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[KingSpeed]

Hard to think ant/dame is anything but another dame/cj

I wish!! Dame/CJ went to playoffs every single year, twice as a 3 seed. This is garbage.

Listening to these two guys list off all of the teams we're about to lose to is pretty depressing but hopefully we can see some development from all of these wings and some electrifying performances from Dame.

I've been a Mariners fan for 25 years or so. Sometimes it be like that. Also, sometimes you just focus on 1 or 2 players and their development, i.e. Sharpe. You're a great fan, hope you're back soon.

Thanks

 

[MickZagger]

It currently feels like we have to hang out until Simons and Little and Nurk contracts are over.

Naw. If we can get an audacious GM I think we could right the ship. But we didn’t try and hire one. Actually we didn’t even interview..Anybody

Lol. Embrace the tank

 

[KingSpeed]

So coach the young players.
Don't start Cam Reddish. That blows.

Cam Reddish is 23. He is a young player lol.

Nah we got one more.

 

[Strenuus]

How many FTs they got is not an indicator of whether the officiating is good or not, Strenuus.

I know, but dame got favorable calls, too. It balanced out.

 

[Cugel]

At some point they have to wake up and smell the coffee with this Dame-Ant pairing. I will simply never understand the appeal. Never. It clearly has failed yet CB keeps running it back?
Guess what? Dame-Ant are the starting backcourt for the next 3 seasons so live it up.

 

[MickZagger]

Told you there was no way we winning tonight

When did I say we would?

 

[blazerfan11]

Starting Cam Reddish?
Does anyone have a clue what Chauncey's overall goal is for the season? Doesn't seem like he has one.

 

[beast blazer]

Simons is an empty stat filler. Sharif absurd rasimons

I think at my core I knew this...and it's left an odd taste in my mouth since. Really great point though.

 

[Strenuus]

And we tanked one year and have had one half of one season of them as they are constructed. Kinda unfair to compare the two in playoff berths with a lot more of a sample size for dame/CJ. No?

Nah, not even close, IMO. We're not going to change each other's minds.

He wasn't the problem tonight. The refs fucked us. Ant didn't show up.

 

[TBpup]

Portland was up 112-103 when I got out of my car. I stop in the store for a minute, get home and turn on the TV.... what the heck happened?

What's the issue with Reddish playing 17 minutes? He went 4-7 and was probably a better team defender than Little or Sharpe.

Oh 100%. And how about this time we actually trade Simons before his value evaporates.

Otherwise, this is CJ 2.0 and we get table scraps

 

[OneSport3]

I wonder how many points Dame would drop if he played against our defense? Probably 70.

SGA went off and Ant flopped.

 

[blazerkor]

This was already the worst constructed roster that Dame has ever had to lead and it just got worse... not necessarily from a talent standpoint on either of those statements but from a construction standpoint and then you have the fact that Chauncey won't play Nurk as a paint clogger which is the only way to maximize Nurk's gifts. I don't think that would make this a winning team and honestly if he told Joe that was his plan and Joe stuck with this, it's on Joe.

This season happened. Have you ever felt comfortable with a lead?

 

[Strenuus]

Nah, not even close, IMO. We're not going to change each other's minds.

I was strictly speaking first half. But it's okay. I agree with your overall point. Cheers!

 

[HailBlazers]

SGA is such a beast.

 

[AldoTrapani]

SGA was 13-16!!

Damn near all his shots were in the paint

unreal lol

 

[Tince]

The quicker we trade Ant, the quicker we can go from people loving Sharpe, to bagging on him.

 

[AldoTrapani]

SGA is such a beast.

Dude. Superstar!

 

[Tince]

SGA is such a beast.

So much to like about his game.
