Game Thread 2022-23 Game #79 - BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - APRIL 4, 2023 - TUESDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[BigGameDamian]

Mays is a keeper

Yep. He’s untouchable!

 

[MickZagger]

Mays is a nice lil player

 

[Rastapopoulos]

SKYLAR MAYS FOR PRESIDENT!

 

[julius]

Something is off with the stadium audio in the league pass broadcast of this game. Sounds like someone didn't connect all the wires to the mics.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Fuck it, I like this team! Everyone is playing for his career and... actually gives a shit!

I hope there is some kind of lesson here for Cronin and Billups.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Stop making Chauncey look like a good coach, guys!!!!

That's the other thing I don't get. How come guys who just got here can play what seems more like what we think Chauncey ball is than the guys who have been with him two years?

 

[Chris Craig]

No comcast out here. Dstream thru a firestick. But on dstreams page they say root sports+ is available. But it isn't listed in their guide.

but there are two identical root sports channels on the dstream guide both showing the same thing. The Seattle game. Fricken Vulcans…

Same. Why isn't it on?

Hard to break habits.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Blazers: time to quit screwing around. It was slightly amusing to beat Minnesota. but just stop! Time to let Memphis build a big lead.

 

[bemac]

shoot, pass, handles, vision and smarts. It's not hyperbole, the guy is as good as you need at PG. He was simply stuck behind a glut of highly paid guards in Atlanta.

Cronin is the one who brought them in. Maybe he's getting suggestions from Schmitz?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hard to break habits.

That's what I was thinking. Stotts offense worked great because Lillard ran it so well but nobody else on the team learned to create and react.

Because they are better players.

 

[riverman]

Mays looks really good as a backup pt guard

 

[BankTeller]

50th pick in the draft. Who is bringing the Walker/Mays type of guys in? Is it Schmitz or Cronin??

 

[wizenheimer]

don't get carried away with this. Teams have no scouting reports on any of the Blazers. They don't have a clue what these guys do on the floor. The Wolves spent 48 minutes asking: "what happened?" and the Griz have spent a lot of the 1st half asking "what happened?"

one thing that has happened is Skylar Mays. And my take is if we, as Blazer fans, had to endure 2 seasons of CJ Elleby and 2 seasons of Keljin Blevins we deserve at least one with Skylar Mays

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe leads the team in assists and rebounds (tied with Eubanks).
I wonder if he'll get a triple double before the end of the season.

 

[THE HCP]

So are winning because of Billups?

I ws thinking today; probably if Sharpe plays as many minutes as Grant, he will out rebound him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We're 2-8 in the last 10 games.

Sure, we're winning because of Billups.

 

[julius]

Memphis needs to wake the hell up.

 

[wizenheimer]

So are winning because of Billups?

aren't you working?

 

[julius]

They actually have to listen to what the coach says, whereas Vets don't.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wtf are we doing.

 

[PCmor7]

Cronin wrecking the tank by signing Skylar Mays.

 

[julius]

I see Skylar is listed as a SG, but he seems to be a decent PG. Is he a combo?

 

[blazerfan11]

This is making me nervous.

 

[illmatic99]

This is certainly better than getting blasted by 40 but for Godsakes don't win this game

 

[illmatic99]

He's got better PG instincts than anyone on this roster not named Dame

He runs the team better than any other Trail Blazer, and his floater is money.
