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

[Strenuus]

Losing 3 in a row to the Thunder and the season series would be a tough blow

Not really. Any team can beat any team so if we lost to the thunder tonight it's not the end of the season or anything.

Yes it is. You can’t shrug off losses all season long if you want to make a title run. It’s not December anymore. Only 27 games remaining.

Ignorance is bliss. Keep telling yourself whatever you want to rationalize.

 

[illmatic99]

If we lose any of the next 3 games, we should tank. I mean it.

Winnable games vs teams we are battling for a spot against. Have to finally win these. Cant keep on brushing off these losses. They matter now.

They always mattered.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is he available?

No

 

[BBert]

He's out with an injured knee.

Sure. Badji has an "Injured knee." Obvious tank is obvious.

wouldn't be good, but I remember a year that Portland went 0-4 against the Thunder. Guess what happened in the playoffs

Reddish is playing, Thybulle is not.

 

[B-Roy]

Well that was fast.

 

[MickZagger]

Well that was fast.

Little and Sharpe are stoked.

Well, this shows how much confidence Chauncey has in Nas (read: None).

 

[KingSpeed]

Cam has lots of fans on Twitter

No, I think what he said makes sense. If he is going to play him without much if any practice, then it seems smart to play him with the other starters, not the second team.

Reddish is playing, Thybulle is not.

Why is Thybulle not playing ?

 

[illmatic99]

Why is Thybulle not playing ?

Maybe cuz of the payton thing? Two of the 5 picks acquired from GS went to Philly for Matisse I thought. If the Payton trade is not official, this one cant either.

If GS ends up rescinding ( doubt they will), we can send Philly different 2nds.

 

[DDolla]

GP2 playing?

Funny how Nas took Cam's lunch in a head to head matchup in HS that solidified Nas' recruitment to UNC.

 

[Chris Craig]

GP2 playing?

2 weeks

 

[DDolla]

It’s confirmed that GP2 is OUT for tonight’s game

Thanks! I did not know the details of the trade.
