He did that on Kawhi. Whoa

 

[Natebishop3]

Time to bench Shaedon and Trendon.

 

[blazerfan11]

I love the defense of Shaq, and his overall game.

 

[Labinot41]

Hate to say it, but we might have to take Sharpe and Watford out for the 2nd half

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Steroids.

And Terodol.

 

[illmatic99]

This is hideous defense by LA

 

[rotary111]

I don't care what the other teams said about him.

Kevin knox is a keeper.

It takes some players longer than others.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Watford was scoring at will, so they sat him down

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Our tankleblazers just dropped 60+ on these guys in a half.

Make that 70

 

[blazerfan11]

Great defense by the Clippers!

Actually i do expect the Clippers to put the clamps down at some point and run away with the game.

 

[TBpup]

Shae & Tre combine for 39 points on 15-21 shooting and you can tell they have great chemistry together. Such fun to wath!

Life of a Blazers fan:

Panicking in games where we try to compete, panicking in games where we try to tank lol

I’m sorry to say it, but these guys are more fun to watch as a team than Dame/Simons/Grant.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Actually the officiating is not bad....until Kawhi has the ball. Then there is some superstar treatment.

 

[PCmor7]

That our front office has managed to find a group of guys essentially off the street who could score 70 in a half at an almost at full-strength Clippers and that drafted Shaedon Sharpe and Jabari Walker makes me feel really good about having two first-round draft picks this draft and a mid-second-rounder.

 

[blazerfan11]

7 rebounds in the first half for Knox. Ties the game high with Zubac.
That’s an area where Knox can make a mark for himself.
If he can work hard and be effective rebounding and defending, and pick his spots on offense, he can really contribute.

 

[inconceivable]

I can't imagine the Suns wanting to face the defending NBA champs over a team that didn't make the playoffs last season.

They will probably let the clips beat them so they get them instead of warriors.

I wanna se durant v curry again tho

 

[BankTeller]

Shae hit his 20 points in the first half. At this point, I would not mind him sitting.

 

[wizenheimer]

lol at the Clippers giving up 70 points to this Blazer team. Ty Lue might have a fit at halftime

who was better that half...Kawhi or Trendon?

Shaedon

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Breaking news to Billups I think on that big dunk by Sharpe earlier he might have slightly tweaked his knee landing so might be time to sit him " wink wink hint hint -- LOL "

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, at the minimum Watford need to develop some tendonitis at halftime. Shae might have something in his eye too

Not saying he is starter material, but other than those first few games, he has been solid. He has a decent all-around game. He might not stick with the Blazers, but he will find a home in the NBA

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Let him get 30 then sit? Why not?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Knox overreaction thread inc later -- Knox might be serviceable as a 11 or 12th man but the few seasons he has been in the NBA do not lie stop making him out to be something he is not just stop this is the problem with Blazer fans pumping up scrubs into something when they are not.

 

[BankTeller]

All in all, I’ll take him over Reddish anyday.

You’re no fun. No fun at all.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well, he can play 2 positions, which helps his cause as a bench player.

 

[BankTeller]

If the Clippers keep playing like this, I’d love to see Shae get 30 before sitting him.
