Game Thread 2023-24 Game #18 - BLAZERS @ CAVS - NOVEMBER 30, 2023 - THURSDAY - 4:00 PM PST - ROOT

Looks good, looks good, then suddenly lose their minds throwing passes they never throw.

 

[42N8Bounce]

I think the team has been better and more entertaining than I anticipated.

This is how rebuilds go. If being uncompetitive isn't your jam, then I'd take the next couple season off to save yourself the heartache.

Well, I've been a season ticket holder since 1974. I've gone thru rebuilds. I can handle losses.

As I noted above, it's not the losses that bother me. It's the poor execution. These players will miss shots. That happens. But no excuse for sloppy cross court passes and terrible defense. That's effort.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Never thought I'd say this, but please God can Anfernee come back soon

To be fair, it's been mostly fine. This game is somewhat of an outlier.

 

[wizenheimer]

I wonder what the record is for turnovers in a half

 

[Tince]

Every once in a while you realize that Malcolm isn't really a PG. He never throws the ball ahead. He won't risk turnovers and calls his own number too much.

I don't think this team needs anyone to risk more turnovers.

 

[Whyachi]

Shaedon brought his offense tonight

 

[B-Roy]

Shae has been the best player this game.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Camara never takes a play off. On both ends of the court.

 

[blazerfan11]

Blazer Broadcasting sucks bad.

 

[B-Roy]

I love Camara picking up full court.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Go Shaedon Go!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I love Camara picking up full court.

I love Camara, period

 

[Cugel]

Nice 14-2 run.

 

[Whyachi]

the Cavs freaking stink. They should be up 20

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Where did Miami find Max Strus?

 

[Cugel]

It was a nice run. was.

 

[B-Roy]

Turnovers

Brogdon 4
Shaedon 3
Grant 3
Scoot 3

Good fucking lord.

 

[blazerfan11]

When Simons comes back, should Scoot spend time in the G-League? He needs to get his confidence back

No. Everyone is turning the ball over against this defense.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

the Cavs freaking stink. They should be up 20

Great defense, poor offense.

 

[blazerfan11]

Turnovers

Brogdon 4
Shaedon 3
Grant 3
Scoot 3

Good fucking lord.

Grant seems to have adjusted and has made some terrific passes. The other guys not so much.

Camara has been good,.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The is the worst lob team ever.

Can Sergio Rodriguez come out of retirement?

 

[James lamphear]

The game is that we have 15 turnovers that has cost 23 points and only down by 6 they have a shot as long they cut down the turnovers.

 

[Whyachi]

Mitchell's last shot would have won a Cavs fan $1000. But Donovan blew it, and now she gets her crappy team's coffee cup & a t-shirt.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Camara, Jabari and Shaedon. That's our future.

 

[PCmor7]

I love Camara picking up full court.

Shaedon, too.

Defensive effort is good. The offense, though, makes me want to spoon out my eyes. Good grief. Can anyone move to the ball? Anyone?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Again could be a lot worse, what if we stopped throwing the ball away? Does Brogdon seem to not see Ayton a lot when Brogdon is driving?

 

[BankTeller]

No. Everyone is turning the ball over against this defense.

I'd probably have concerns about sending any GL Ignite guys back to the GL honestly. For Scoot, he's been there for two seasons, what more is there for him to do there? Even if he's terrible here, he has to be terrible now so he doesn't have to be later.

 

[blazerfan11]

The game is that we have 15 turnovers that has cost 23 points and only down by 6 they have a shot as long they cut down the turnovers.

Have to quit with the no-look passes and the crappy lobs.

Be like Grant and throw a dart to an open shooter. The soft/awkward passes must end.

 

[wizenheimer]

I think the Blazers strategy is working...they have rope-a-doped the Cavs into a slop-fest
