[OneSport3]

Just to difficult to throw it to Ayton, who's 9-13 in this game.

 

[B-Roy]

Ayton looking like Kanter on defense.

 

[beast blazer]

Sharpe has hit 17 of his last 62 shots..... shooting 27%

 

[AldoTrapani]

You're in form.

The truth hurts

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ouch. I guess he’s not what we thought he was.. he was only fun part of the season too

 

[42N8Bounce]

These game are tough to watch. No movement on offense. Allowing layup after layup on defense.

I guess the good news is that we just have to correct those 2 things. Offense & Defense.

 

[PCmor7]

This is painful to even attempt to watch. Uninventive offense. Still can't defend any variation of the pick-and-roll. Sharpe's looked awful lately. No Scoot.

We're pinning our hopes on watching Camara develop when, in all likelihood, Camara might be at the very end of the rotation if the Blazers are a true contender.

I watch this and worry about Ayton and Grant checking out mentally before Christmas. I don't think Brogdon will, but I also am pretty sure he'll want out. The shame is he's a guy we could use to help mentor the young guards, but, right now, it doesn't look like there's anything to develop. This looks like the Sixers during The Process days.

 

[inconceivable]

My boy Sharpe been playing like trash since that thumb injury news came out. Not all can be attributed to the injury but your thumb is practically half your hand. That can explain not making shots but the turnovers are a different issue. He's shown enough, I still believe in him. If the team is forcing him to play to sell tickets, that's fubar

 

[B-Roy]

Sharpe said the thumb isn’t bothering him. He’s just playing bad. He’s young, it happens.

 

[Chris Craig]

Now Matisse is injured

 

[PCmor7]

When Sharpe can't even guard Grayson Allen one-on-one, it's concerning.

 

[Bingo Bango]

What’s wrong with Sharpe? He’s doing nothing out there. Not scoring, rebounding, or getting assists. For a supposed up-and-coming superstar, on a team that needs his contributions, he is sadly under-performing.

 

[Cugel]

Garbage time Chauncey. This one is over

 

[MickZagger]

This team is hard watch

 

[illmatic99]

shae can't even catch with his right right now.

why is he still playing? this is reckless

 

[MickZagger]

Sharpe has a lot of work to do on his handle

 

[OneSport3]

It could get a lot uglier if they move Brogdon and Grant at the deadline.

 

[beast blazer]

Once again, Ayton the only starter who hasn't gone to the FT line....

 

[BigGameDamian]

Time to stop toying with these guys and get serious!

 

[blazerfan11]

the Blazers look good shooting 3-pointers on kick-outs. So why is that not a common part of the offense?
Grant is quite good at those.

 

[Chris Craig]

It is. They just miss them most of the time.

 

[Chris Craig]

He doesn't play much at the basket.

 

[Chris Craig]

It will.

 

[beast blazer]

The Blazers sure don't seem to care about the In-Season Tournament.

 

[beast blazer]

Sharpe was supposed to be the one guy we got to enjoy seeing play well even though the team would probably be losing a lot. Now we have nothing.

If Shae was ready to play like a star now, we WOULDN’T be losing a lot. Patience. He hasn’t even played 18 months of basketball since high school. Inconsistency and slumps are why we’re sucking. We knew that going into the year.

 

[beast blazer]

Blazers got 10 more FG attempts than the Suns, but the suns were red hot. 96% from the FT line, 47% from 3, 62% from 2.....

 

[Tince]

The Blazers sure don't seem to care about the In-Season Tournament.

I think this is about as good of an effort as they can give.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bouyea is worst Blazer ever
