Game Thread 2022-23 Game #57 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - FEBRUARY 13, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

I think we all know what could happen against a good team.
The other team starts trapping Lillard and our offense falls apart.
A scoring drought allows the other team to catch up usually accompanied by our defense giving up transition baskets.

Reddish strikes me as a dude who was able to just get by on his athleticism in high school and college and he never polished his game. 6’8 wings need a reliable outside shot these days.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ah but Payton has him beat in the “punk ass bitch” category.

The question is: Are the Lakers a good team?

 

[DDolla]

Take out Simons now

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Eventually Simons will figure out Davis is bigger than him?

 

[Tince]

Who is D-Lo's barber? Asking for a friend.

 

[DDolla]

Thybulle can shoot 3s or is it just this game?

 

[B-Roy]

Thybulle playing like a max player

Latter

 

[illmatic99]

matisse is one three away from his career high.

honestly, im shocked he hit 5 in a game before

 

[blazerfan11]

How is Sharpe not starting by now ?
There is no reason for Simons to be ball-stopping in the starting unit.
I'd love to see Sharpe and Thybulle starting at the 2-3.

 

[riverman]

I'm lovin' Thybulle on this team, I'll say now...he's an impact player

Contract money. I agree though. He’s worthless if the shot isn’t falling.

Lakers announcer on Thybulle…what a pick up by The Blazers

 

[LayneStaley]

Nurk looks really engaged with his teammates, he’s the last malcontent left.

 

[Tince]

That elbow fade by Sharpe is so pretty when it goes in.

 

[blazerfan11]

The question is: Are the Lakers a good team?

No, they're not.
(Although they've got to be different without LeBron.)

 

[LayneStaley]

I wonder if Keon will ever see the floor again.

 

[illmatic99]

he did that on Vando.

this kid is gonna be really good

 

[AldoTrapani]

Sharpe has been really impressive

If this dude has that obsessive hard work habit, man he might be something special

 

[DaLong]

Incoming Simons chuck fest to blow our lead in 3, 2 1...

 

[crandc]

Sorry, people and other species, still nervous. Painfully aware of last time. I won't breathe until final buzzer.

 

[Chris Craig]

He's trying but good for us he has teammates.

 

[B-Roy]

Pretty confident Shaedon can surpass Ant in a few seasons at most

 

[LayneStaley]

Simons definitely forces it when other guys not named Dame start hitting shots, it’s annoying.

That’s his job. They need a primary creator when Dame is on the bench. He’s just not as good as Dame. Same problem as CJ.

Same problem as 98% of the league.

I was in a senior in high school when Billups and Ham were teammates on that title team in Detroit. Feel like it was yesterday, but almost 20 years ago. Damn
