Game Thread 2023-24 Game #12 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - IST - NOVEMBER 17, 2023 - 7:00 PM PST ROOT

Dude...less than half a season's worth of games is not "almost a full season"...

Would be like a pitcher having his no-hitter broken up in the 4th inning and someone claiming he almost threw a no-hitter for the entire game.

 

[blazerkor]

First, it's not just this game.

Second, I've been watching the whole game.

Third, you can qualify how the turnovers happen. He has a lot of them to qualify. He has two-thirds of his team's turnovers and almost as many as the opposing team.

Fourth, I think you're letting your hopes get in the way of what's actually happening on the court.

EDIT: Fifth, amazing court vision means nothing if you can't execute, and pointing out a couple of good passes or plays here or there doesn't change the fact that he makes too many mistakes with the ball to play a position that will require him to handle the ball more, which was the point that you don't seem to grasp.

Sixth, SMH.

Cool story. You go ahead and shake your head at me for not putting limitations on a very promising prospect at the beginning of his second season out of high school.

 

[Tince]

He did it for the second half of last season and if he does it for a couple more months this season it will be almost a full season.

 

[wizenheimer]

Who did? I said almost a full season. He does it for 2 more months and then it’s a full season.

I'm not sure how you got to the Thybulle = Camara position

Thybulle hasn't been a good 3 point shooter in the NBA but he hasn't been bad either. His career mark is 34%. And I think it's pretty certain he won't keep shooting 42% on three's

Thybulle shot 36% from the college three point line in 4 years. Camara shot under 31% in 4 years of college. There seems to be a gulf between them as shooters.

 

[Tince]

I got the Blazers +12.5... this is nail biting time!

 

[Cugel]

33 3pt attempts is a joke. Only Grant, Matisse and Sharpe should be shooting from 3, maybe Walker if he is camped out in the corner. Why would CB encourage 33 attempts? He thinks they will suddenly become a 3pt threat? Just silly coaching.

 

[Whyachi]

Bouyea = chalupas

 

[OneSport3]

That’s so funny. Good for you.

Well, I didn't go off on him like you did. I said he was a small forward and not a shooting guard. You got your panties in a bunch over that and made it personal.

SMH. SMH. SMH.

 

[Tince]

That’s so funny.

Almost was so funny.

 

[inconceivable]

Sharpe one rebound shy of triple double

[Whyachi]

Blazers eliminated from in-season tourney

 

[HailBlazers]

I got the Blazers +12.5... this is nail biting time!

Woow.

 

[PCmor7]

Sharpe one rebound shy of triple double

And I think two turnovers shy of a team record for a game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers eliminated from in-season tourney

Good

 

[riverman]

Man the broadcast crew is having a brutal time trying to make these games interesting. Radio stat after the loss....we've played 12 games and scored under 100 6 times

 

[Chris Craig]

I think that Lebron guy will someday be an all-star.

He'll someday be retired

 

[OneSport3]

I'm not sure how you got to the Thybulle = Camara position

Thybulle hasn't been a good 3 point shooter in the NBA but he hasn't been bad either. His career mark is 34%. And I think it's pretty certain he won't keep shooting 42% on three's

Thybulle shot 36% from the college three point line in 4 years. Camara shot under 31% in 4 years of college. There seems to be a gulf between them as shooters.

I never said Thybulle = Camara. I said that if Camara can develop a consistent 3 point shot he would be deadly. The Thybulle part came in when I said Thybulle has improved his 3 point shot since he wa traded to Portland.

 

[Chris Craig]

They have nothing to do but say good things about the opponent. Pretty sad.

 

[kjironman1]

Too old.

 

[Cugel]

hmmm POR might not have a real chance to win until 12.21 against WAS.
Seriously hard schedule approaching. A 20 game losing streak is highly likely.

Fuck

 

[Cugel]

Fuck

tell me about it.

 

[Whyachi]

Clyde Drexler had 10 turnovers in a game (1991)
Shaedon tied a new Blazer record

They picked the wrong year to try and make money off free McNuggets.

 

[HailBlazers]

That's awesome

 

[OneSport3]

I don’t mind Shaedon’s turnovers. The glimpses of greatness are there. They’re asking him to run an offense and make plays when he’s probably never done so in his life.

He's a complete player in the making

 

[TBpup]

Didn't get to watch the game, so just checking out highlights and the box score. 10 TOs for Shaedon? How bad were some of them? That is a LOT regardless of what you are doing.
