Game Thread 2022-23 PRESEASON - GAME #4 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - OCTOBER 9, 2022 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT)

[THE HCP]

Sarr essentially is another draft pick. Even if he is in season 2. I like his potential.

You know who I liked that I wish was on this roster instead of 7 other guys…. Wenyen Gabriel. Loved his heart and hustle.

 

[THE HCP]

when they were in the huddle?

Yeah right before Grants FTs. Maybe upset about the defensive end.

 

[illmatic99]

lol WTF was that sharpe stint? really chauncey? that's bullshit

 

[AldoTrapani]

Sharpe just camps out in the corner all the time.

That’s a sign of being scared and not wanting the ball

I think you might have been Kingspeedin' it up there.

 

[THE HCP]

That’s a sign of being scared and not wanting the ball

Which is why you can’t expect this kid to make much of an impact for a few years.

 

[OneSport3]

Dame is just doing too much right now. The offense is flowing better through Ant.

 

[illmatic99]

nurk has his man sealed under the rim. dame ignores him. wth is this

 

[julius]

That’s a sign of being scared and not wanting the ball

Or that's what he's being told to do.

 

[Pinwheel1]

On a side note how stupid is it to sit in the front row with a baby in your lap? What the hell are they thinking?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Which is why you can’t expect this kid to make much of an impact for a few years.

I was just hoping he gets a little comfy and start getting use to stuff

 

[illmatic99]

lol zone.... lmao horrific defense

 

[MickZagger]

I haven’t been thrilled with what I’ve seen all preseason.

 

[Natebishop3]

That’s a sign of being scared and not wanting the ball

It's a sign of being a kid and not knowing his place with the vets.

 

[B-Roy]

Can’t believe Simons just passed up a 3 to give Nurkic a 3

 

[AldoTrapani]

Murray is the guy I wanted to. Fuck

 

[julius]

For having players that are supposed to be good at defense (grant, hart and nurk) and a coach who preaches it, this team still sucks ass at defense.

 

[MickZagger]

Murray is the guy I wanted to. Fuck

You wanted to fuck him?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This game is causing me to rethink my win prediction for this season...

81-1.

 

[illmatic99]

This game is causing me to rethink my win prediction for this season...

81-1.

33-49.

i keep dropping my projections every time we play

 

[Natebishop3]

Murray is the guy I wanted to. Fuck

We didn't have a top 4 pick, so.....

 

[AldoTrapani]

You wanted to fuck him?

lol

 

[julius]

33 wins might be generous.

 

[illmatic99]

lol wide open shots anytime they want. we're lucky to not be down 25

 

[PCmor7]

The game is so much easier when you have shooters.

That's been evident in all three of the Blazers' preseason games against NBA teams. We have no spacing on offense. We play offense like the game hasn't evolved from 1998. Too much dribbling without purpose. We have guys that can shoot, but they aren't real shooters. They aren't guys who are dead-eye if left open.

On the defensive end, they just attack Dame or Ant every time down the floor, get us helping and find an open guy beyond the arc. And they make it.

 

[B-Roy]

Christ the Lillard/Nurkic pnr defense may just be unsalvegable

 

[julius]

You can tell that this team isn't taking the pre-season seriously at all.

 

[illmatic99]

dame is getting absolutely cooked on d

 

[DDolla]

Time to trade Dame for 10 first round picks and let him win a ring like Clyde

 

[blazerfan11]

When do we start blaming Joe Cronin?

Cronin didn't hire Billups.
