Game Thread 2022-23 PRESEASON - GAME #1 - BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - OCTOBER 3, 2022 - MONDAY - 7:30 PM (PDT)

[Driew]

I really hope we get to see Sharpe....

 

[bemac]

Got torched on defense then had a travel. I think our opponents would call that a dream.

Don't be that guy....Really? The first half of the first game of preseason?

Underestimate him at your peril. That traveling was fine. He was following the game plan.

 

[Predator]

Norm looks like ass, so that’s something.

 

[HailBlazers]

Ant is definitely stronger.

 

[riverman]

Look rusty but defense got us back in this one...down 5 after that start is not too shabby

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I really hope we get to see Sharpe....

Sharpe’s our best player. Keep him rested for when the games matter.

 

[julius]

Can nurk please stop shooting 3's?

 

[AldoTrapani]

That’s crazy Nurkic is still encouraged to shoot 3s

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Can nurk please stop shooting 3's?

He’ll make ‘em when they matter.

Feel free to use the “ignore” function. Just making observations.

I’ve also noted positive performances as well.

FWIW, I don’t need a full game to form an opinion. I can tell you right now that watching Nurk jack up 3s this season will be a nightmare too.

 

[riverman]

It's always weird playing a team with so many ex Blazers on it

 

[illmatic99]

get those misses out in preseason dame

 

[Predator]

Dame with the Nick Van Exel socks.

 

[MickZagger]

They’re just switching the whole game. We can’t really do that much because we’re not really a matchup problem for them at any positions.

 

[Propagandist]

We are so exploitable.

 

[riverman]

Sharpe in!

Cut to Nurk hitting championship winning 3 in June!

 

[HailBlazers]

These teams ain't playing like preseason.

 

[illmatic99]

Here comes Shaedon!

 

[Driew]

SHARPE ALERT! SHARPE!

Doesn’t matter. We have Dame. They don’t.

 

[HailBlazers]

Sharpe in!

Kid can D up.

 

[Propagandist]

i hate these new rules.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

i hate these new rules.

It’s fucking bullshit

 

[illmatic99]

we're not really running any offense it appers.

 

[Driew]

i hate these new rules.

It'll be called like the "you can't touch the ball after a made field goal"--it was called like crazy the first few weeks of the season and then finally people adjusted to it.

 

[THE HCP]

Keep in mind the Clippers already had a tuneup game coming into this one.

.

Keep in mind we don’t have as much talent as the Clippers. So the game is going about as planned.

 

[Chris Craig]

i hate these new rules.

Yeah, it's stupid.

 

[illmatic99]

i hate these new rules.

it will lead to more fastbreaks after the players get used to it. the take foul removal was a much needed change
