Game Thread 2022-23 Game #66 - BLAZERS @ CELTICS - MARCH 8, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 4:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[BigGameDamian]

Well at least it’s a strong draft this year!

 

[Idog1976]

Ugh we are just unwatchable at this point, and I mean that literally in my case. I can't even watch it to see if Dame moves up in the scoring or Sharpe gets more minutes. Just plain garbage ball and embarrassing.

 

[illmatic99]

by all means, keep showing tatum the exact same coverage.

this is not a professional team at this point. the bbiq, the coaching, the (lack of) talent or size, the will, the aggression, etc etc etc. this is a shit team. embrace it.

why they're going thru the charade of acting like they want to win is beyond me. the moves made at the deadline made it clear winning is not a priority.

 

[DDolla]

2 wins out of six road games is not bad.

Yeah, definitely not a professional basketball team. More like high school.

Nurk stop shooting 3s...take it to the paint and get to the line

 

[LayneStaley]

Nurk lol, he’s the perfect guy to have back for the Tank.

 

[LayneStaley]

Lillard isn’t coming back in this game.

 

[LayneStaley]

Barely beating Orlando and Detroit was kind of telling about how good we are, shoulda thrown that Orl game.

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk stop shooting 3s...take it to the paint and get to the line

at least he has hit rim. what's nas' issue?

 

[Mr. Robot]

why is chauncey so persistent with the zone defense

come on man, try something else, at least you can confuse the opponent with new defensive scheme every few minutes

chauncey has been a huge disappointment, none of the things he has spoken about have been implemented and not only that, he looks clueless

 

[Samuel]

Watching a tank squadron was easier than watching this.

 

[illmatic99]

lol brogdan didn't even need to make a move to drive right past cam.

and of course this team doesn't believe in help defense

 

[riverman]

when you pull the starters with 6 minutes left you are definitely tanking...Chauncey puts out the white flag quicker than any coach I can remember.

 

[LayneStaley]

Hope we don’t fuck up and win that Spurs game on April 6th. With a little luck we could run the table with losses.

 

[LayneStaley]

As long as Cronin is here CB will be here, I highly doubt he has the balls to fire him.

 

[PCmor7]

Other than Dame and Justise, no dawgs on this team. There are more than a few dogs, though.

I have no idea what we're trying to accomplish on defense. There doesn't seem to be any communication. I'd completely scrap the zone. These guys might be bad man defenders but they play NO defense when they're in a zone.

 

[James lamphear]

Zone is alright when you actually playing the correct way but of course we have know clue how to play it. But you play it to throw something different at a opponent.

 

[illmatic99]

yall see the news about Shawn Kemp?

once a jailblazer, always a jailblazer, i guess?

 

[blazerfan11]

2 wins out of six road games is not bad.

The Blazers can only play Houston, Orlando, and Detroit so many times.
The next such team is San Antonio on April 6th.

 

[wizenheimer]

the zone defense looks like what you'd expect a pre-season zone defense to look like....not one after 65 games

 

[julius]

I won't miss Keon.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I sure hope we get the Pistons in the finals and not the Celtics.

Drive by shooting at 2 in the afternoon.

The Blazers already had the Pistons in the finals and it didn't go so well.

 

[LayneStaley]

Give Keon back to the Clippers.

 

[riverman]

After this game...Chauncey...58-90

 

[PCmor7]

I think Chauncey's probably done after this season. The team regressed. The players regressed. Defensively, we fell into a black hole when we had something to play for.

Biggest thing: I honestly don't think Chauncey'd care. I don't see a team that competes and that's often a reflection of the coach, but I just don't see him as a guy that's passionate about being on the sidelines and, even worse, a guy that's passionate about his guys winning.

 

[Samuel]

He was way more Sonic than Blazer.

 

[Chris Craig]

Kaleb Canales was a better coach than him.
