Game Thread 2022-23 Game #62 - TRAIL BLAZERS VS PELICANS - MARCH 1, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ESPN

[B-Roy]

Our execution in the clutch is just mind blowingly bad.

 

[Idog1976]

let this loser walk. he's not it.

Billups? I agree.

 

[blazerkor]

I was told he was tho

It doesn't matter if he's better, as good as or worse he's far too similar to the type of player that CJ is. The type that does not maximize Dame's game... the kind that makes our defensive back court a fucking mess.

 

[illmatic99]

Billups? I agree.

grant. but he can take chauncey with him.

 

[MickZagger]

This team just falls apart so easy. It’s almost easy to identify a turning point as it happens

 

[julius]

I know they're not healthy (but neither is New Orleans) but does Portland even think this game is important?

 

[PCmor7]

This has been embarrassing down the stretch defensively. Anyone on their team gets to the rim without even needing a screen.

 

[TBpup]

Lillard passes Jordan for most 40 points games as a 32 year old.

 

[AldoTrapani]

God I Feel bad for dame

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey has no idea how to make in game adjustments.

 

[blazerkor]

Odd stat, Damian has 0 assists so far tonight.

Not that odd, his teammates do nothing but let him down.

 

[JDC]

The switch to a double on Ingram has not worked lol

 

[MickZagger]

to the poster who said Grant sucks -- you do realize if not for him and of course Dame the Pels would be blowing out the Blazers right now

Now if you want to say something like while Grant is pretty good he is not worth what he wants this summer I might buy that but that thought for this game -- I gotta sell it

It turned into a blowout

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Anyone notice that when a shot goes up no one is even near the paint looking for a rebound and that is a coaching thing more then the players on the court. I mean if Billups stressed looking for a rebound when a shot is in the air that would help even a little bit and that has NOTHING to do with size more to do with desire and such. I am watching this game and I see one player ( Dame ) who wants to win and the rest I am not sure and again this could be a coaching thing as much as on the players. I am sorry but IF in the summer Dame finally cracks and says fuck this and asks out I will not even blame him cause right now it's 1 on 5 out there. I want to make it clear that I DO NOT want Dame gone just that I would understand IF he finally said enough is enough of this half assed effort.

 

[riverman]

Dame's climbing the scoring records again....take him out and rest him....

 

[PCmor7]

This team tanks without even trying to tank.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I don’t have the energy to list the things wrong with this team. It’s hard to watch. Let’s go get that lottery pick!

 

[TBpup]

After an embarrassing meltdown in the 3rd against the Warriors, an equally disasterous meltdown in the 4th tonight.

Time to check the Lottery rankings.

 

[riverman]

Grant ends with 28

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Don't tell anyone but the Blazers kinda suck.

 

[blazerkor]

Making shots when it doesn't count... fucking great!

 

[Propagandist]

Can’t we just try a new coach to start?

 

[Chris Craig]

Pathetic

 

[julius]

Honestly, that's the season.

at this point, they might be lucky to win 5 more games.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers drop from #10 to #12 in the West with the loss and the Pels and Lakers winning.

 

[MickZagger]

I know they're not healthy (but neither is New Orleans) but does Portland even think this game is important?

Lines been drawn from not wanting to win and just not being good enough to.

 

[DDolla]

You can tell by their play in the first half, No sense of urgency playing at home. Like they already quit the season

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

 

[blazerkor]

Dame ends the game leading the team in rebounds...

because our roster is constructed in a way that makes absolutely no sense. Can anyone guess if Cronin wants us to make the playoffs or not?

I have my gripes with Chauncey, but our current rotation might be the poorest collection of defensive rebounders for their position in the history of the NBA.

I’m debating on checking lottery rankings or the Lillard scoring chase rankings. Hmmm, which is more important
