Game Thread 2022-23 Game #72 - BLAZERS @ JAZZ - MARCH 22, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

If this game wake Billups up, then the win would be worth it.

What are you talking about?

 

[blazerfan11]

he’s having good game but Utah sucks on defense. Sharpe has the tools but loses focus more than he should he wasn’t ready to start hope he is next year

No player is perfect, while he makes mistakes he brings a combination of skills to the team that no other player has.

Aldo said it was a worthless victory.

He got pretty decent minutes and time to work on his game and adjust to the NBA, perhaps ready to take the next step

 

[blazerfan11]

I love Watford throwing lobs. A dimension that has been missing from our offense.

 

[Ed O]

Sharpe looked good. Sharpe is good.

Sharpe is going to be very, very good.

 

[KingSpeed]

I like Knox

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame shouldnt be playing at this point.

He got 24 points , 9 rebounds and 4 steals in this game. I wonder what the next step would be.
It's up to Billups to give Sharpe playing time.

Will Hardy looks pissed.

[DDolla]

Tendon is a bench keeper

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe looked good. Sharpe is good.

Sharpe is going to be very, very good.

I only hope that Billups will play him very very often and very consistently.

Only person I have on ignore, so thanks for ruining my night.

Agreed Sharpe will be good.

We're only a few years away from the board turning on him and wanting him to get less minutes than our 2026 draft pick.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Now that would have been a poster to hang on your ceiling.

 

[DDolla]

We have the tie break against Utah

 

[riverman]

Fun game! Played the way they should play!

The key for Shaedon Sharpe tonight was getting PLAYING TIME.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Did Sharpe play enough tonight?

... with Dame.

Watford always seems to be in Sharpes ear. Every timeout or break he is always pumping him up. Plus Watford seems to be always talking on defense. Never going to be a star but seems like a smart player, the kind you need on a team.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Watford & Sharpe combine for 45 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals & 2 blocks.

Ant/Grant could get us those points & maybe the assists (but doubt that) but no way they get us 18 rebounds.

Liked watching.

 

[Blazinaway]

Did Sharpe play enough tonight?

yeah, and it paid off, wanted to see what he and Dame could do in extended minutes, liked what I saw, 4 steals for SS

First game I have E N J O Y E D how we played in a long time

 

[Fairly-Hard]

He fasted during playoffs.

Not water.

 

[riverman]

This was a good game for Dame to see what's possible with some of the young guys and that they're not far away from being a capable bench moving forward. Knox, Watford and Sharpe played really well.

 

[Ed O]

I only hope that Billups will play him very very often and very consistently.

He should have been playing heavy minutes since at least the Hart trade... better late than never, I suppose.

With that being said, I wouldn't be shocked if he's back down to 18 or 20 minutes next game.
