Game Thread 2022-23 Game #81 - BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - APRIL 8, 2023 - SATURDAY - 1:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

4th option? Okay. Probably right.

I'm sorry, this is hilarious. Yes, obviously Sharpe is 4th option kind of guy. Holy shit...

 

[blazerfan11]

This is why I don’t put any stock into a tank game. As soon as the other team needs to play they absolutely shut them down.
Sharpe has improved this season no question but he has 2 points this quarter and the Clippers are putting this game away.

Sounds like you actually ARE putting stock into the tank game.

I didn’t think green font was necessary.

 

[OneSport3]

John Butler has some surprisingly good defensive instincts.

I’m not the one saying guys like Knox and Mayes are keepers.

I’m not the one saying guys like Knox and Mayes are keepers.

I never said Knox was a keeper. I said what I think he needs to do to be a contributor.
Mays looks like a competent backup point guard.

 

[BankTeller]

Sharpe’s ability to gamble and recovery is seriously impressive. Terrance Mann isn’t a scrub.

All he needs to do is not ball-watch too much.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Do the Clips have the most ex-Blazers (I count 4) of any NBA team?

 

[Sloth]

This team continues to not be good for my health

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I never said Knox was a keeper. I said what I think he needs to do to be a keeper.

At this point I’m not even sure Watford and Walker are keepers let alone any of the guys they have picked up.

Minaya has never not jumped at a pump fake

I hope Cronin is thinking that too. He needs to be constantly working to improve the roster.

 

[Sloth]

Yes that's the hope. But I don't trust that dude with much of anything anymore...so we shall see.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I think Simons is gone this summer.

If you don't know that Watford is a keeper, then I am glad you are not in our front office.

 

[blazerkor]

I think Simons is gone this summer.

Yeah, he's our second biggest contract heading into this off season so if Joe is serious about getting Dame some help that has some experience then Ant will have to be going out in that trade just to match salaries. I honestly think that on draft day Joe will get someone sending out Ant, Nurk and multiple FRPs and I think he could get Dame the best player he's played with.

The clippers and wolves have no excuse for being as bad as they are.

The range of opinion on these guys is pretty amazing. People wanted Walker playing consistent role minutes to start the season. Earlier this week, there was push back to the idea that Watford should only be a situational backup.

 

[Tince]

The worst Clippers and Wolves teams you've seen in your lifetime?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

If you don't know that Watford is a keeper, then I am glad you are not in our front office.

I think you are a little blinded by that summer league MVP trophy.
He’s going to play somewhere but not sure it needs to be for Portland.

 

[blazerkor]

If you don't know that Watford is a keeper, then I am glad you are not in our front office.

Yeah, I really like what Trendon brings to the game as a bench PF in the rotation. High BBIQ, understands his limitations and strengths and a high motor with decent enough size to play the 4.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

TankelBlazers keep beating the spread.

 

[wizenheimer]

Walker...OK

but Watford is a keeper. He's 22 and could easily develop into a rotation player.

 

[blazerkor]

I thought that was a nice finish inside by Butler... sure the defender was almost a foot shorter than him but it was still nice to see Butler doe something with his length.

 

[riverman]

Washington Generals lose again!

 

[illmatic99]

One more and i can stop paying attention til may 16

 

[Natebishop3]

The worst Clippers and Wolves teams you've seen in your lifetime?

Hmmm…… maybe? The clippers have a ton of talent. They shouldn’t be this bad. They might be the worst clippers TEAM in my lifetime.

 

[bemac]

Walker...OK but Watford is a keeper. He's 22 and could easily develop into a rotation player.

Obviously, whoever this fairly-hard is, they're just yanking our chain. I'm sure it's all in fun

 

[wizenheimer]

after watching the tank games, if I had to pick a 'backup' PG off of this roster for next season, I'd have a tough time deciding between Mays and Harrison. I really like Harrison's speed and athleticism

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is Kevin Knox a keeper? He's certainly impressed me more than Cam Reddish. He's BIG, too.
