Game Thread 2022-23 Game #58 - BLAZERS VS WIZARDS - FEBRUARY 14, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[B-Roy]

Chauncey grasping at straws with the lineups here

 

[illmatic99]

just keep going to shaedon, see if he has something

 

[MickZagger]

Chalk this up to another example of a streaky one trick pony team. The deep jumper isn’t falling and we don’t have too many other ways to win

 

[julius]

It appears the All Star Break started early for the Blazers.

 

[riverman]

I'd throw Butler out there to try to guard Porzingas...he's our tallest player available

 

[OneSport3]

We’re back to the if Dame doesn’t have a superhuman night we’re screwed days.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This team refuses to put together two good games.

 

[LayneStaley]

Put reddish back in, wtf. Has Nas made a shot all night?

 

[riverman]

Nas is 0-5 from deep

 

[illmatic99]

against 26-30 wizards.

at home.

 

[Chris Craig]

No...nor a stop.

 

[blazerfan11]

Would love to see Sharpe and Walker and Thybulle playing together.

 

[riverman]

We went another 5 minutes without a field goal.

 

[PCmor7]

This just seems like a case of not our night.

I'm kind of curious why we played so much zone right from the start. I don't mind that as a change-up, but you've got a couple of guys out there who can be disruptive on the ball, so why do you give up so much of the initiative away? Seemed like the Wiz weren't too fazed by the defense.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, a night of the only one who can make shots is Dame and he's passing the ball.

 

[julius]

against 26-30 wizards.

at home.

In their defense, the Blazers home record (and effort) has been pretty embarrassing all year.

 

[wizenheimer]

missing Grant quite a bit tonight, IMO

cuz that's what we did last night. chauncey doesn't have much else in his repertoire as far as preparation.

'3' or die. Fortunately we didn't pick up any of the available size at the Trade Deadline so we remain a one-trick pony that plays no D and gets abused inside.

 

[OneSport3]

It’s obvious that this franchise/front office is punting on the season. We desperately need a legit backup C yet we haven’t gone out to get one. Most nights we can get away with Drew at backup C, but realistically he’s a backup PF.

 

[illmatic99]

no legs. he's forcing it trying to start a run.


give him a break, chauncey

 

[blazerfan11]

Dame just threw a nice pass to Walker, then has to go back to 3-point shooting the next possession.
Would be nice to get some easy buckets.

 

[B-Roy]

With all due respect, why is Knox playing?

 

[illmatic99]

With all due respect, why is Knox playing?

well... he's 6'9.

 

[TBpup]

7-26 from '3'. That tells you all you need to know because Portland doesn't have anything else.

 

[LayneStaley]

Reddish sits on the bench while Nas and Knoxs play lol

 

[illmatic99]

dunk.

of

the


year

 

[illmatic99]

god nas' defense is so bad.

 

[BlayZa]

is reddish not as shit as i was led to believe?

great dunk by SS too

 

[LayneStaley]

Tank is back on
