Game Thread 2022-23 PRESEASON - GAME #5 - BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - OCTOBER 11, 2022 - TUESDAY - 7:00PM (PDT) ROOT

IDC if it is preseason. What we’ve seen so far is some scrub shit. You lose by 30+ and it doesn’t matter what day of the year it is. Are you actually trying to prove that you belong in the NBA, or are you just content that you’ve found yourself here?

I hope this is the worst loss of the season.

I’ll be right here being just as frustrated as you if it is not.

I just feel we need a dead eye sharp shooter coming off the bench. We don't have that right now. Even when wide open , and this has been a problem for years, we don't have that one guy you know will drain the clutch 3.

McLemore was good at that at times. Simons would be much better.

Maybe we can trade for Payton Pritchard.
I rather have him than Keon.
Pritchard could be that guy iff the bench.

 

[James lamphear]

Your assertations all seem to be correct.
The one thing that gives me pause is


So essentially to beat Chauncy's defensive scheme all you need to do is pass the ball twice? This is a major problem in the NBA I would think?

It's a problem with teams that's don't stay in position to recover.

How about a trade for a vet like Gordan Hayward to be a shooter of the bench?

slow injured white guys is EXACTLY what the defense needs

The subject was a good shooter off the bench and he would fit the bill, who cares what color they are.

Tyk was talking about a good shooter off the bench and I suggested Hayward. Nothing said about D.

Exactly

I’ve reached the age where seeing young players be freaky athletic does not get me excited anymore. I’m tired of alley oops and breakaway dunks being considered elite play.

Obviously Shaedon is talented. I want to see quality defense and high % 3pt shooting.

What we need are easy buckets and alley oops and breakaway dunks are just that.

 

[THE HCP]

But their third team is loaded with skilled shooters from distance. We had a bunch of athletic try hard guys with no shooting skills.

But I was told this summer we were headed for HCA in the playoffs, not 10th in the West.

Hey man, you see the Clippers bench recently?

By who!?!?!?!

 

[THE HCP]

By who!?!?!?!

Too busy bro. There were people on here during and after summer league claiming we would have HCA this season.

 

[THE HCP]

Because of some guy named Walker on our roster was going to make such a huge impact.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

He still might play a bunch but that won't mean they are getting HCA if you know what i mean?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Better shooting from guys not named Dame, Ant, or Grant ,on a consistent basis ,is unlikely. Nas has potential to become consistent, but he's not there yet.

Your "Nas love" is gonna bite us all in the ass.
He aint it.

10th? How many teans are you expecting to drop out of the league by midseason?

 

[PCmor7]

Pretty sure I was one of them. There was a thread that asked us to rank the West and I think I had the Blazers fourth.

If people want to run me and others down because of that, it's fine. I don't need to keep tallies of message board predictions to build my ego.

I was wanting to be pretty optimistic as well. I always want to be every year. It's fun to look back and see where i was wrong.

Have YOU?

Looking at their most recent game, Luke Kennard was their highest scorer off the bench. He scored 11 points. The bench, in total, scored 44 points.
Looking at the BLAZERS most recent game, Shaedon Sharpe was the highest scorer off the bench. He scored 17 points. The bench, in total, scored 54 points.

Learn the game, then post.

He himself brags about not knowing players' names or how good of a player they are. He posts too much when he should be reading my posts and learning facts. I'm only trying to help. Insulting is when you brag and make a bet but don't pay it off when you lose.

This sounds personal @Chris Craig @PtldPlatypus

HCP says worse stuff about me. Calls me names, calls me out. It doesn't involve you though so kindly stay out of it or put me on ignore.
