Game Thread 2023-24 Game #2 - BLAZERS VS MAGIC - OCTOBER 27, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[MickZagger]

This team cant win 20 games with sharpe taking all these shots n getting 0 free throw attempts tho.. This is very far from high powered nba offense were seeing..


completely exhausting that Ayton isnt getting the ball..

Still learning. Roy had 4 years of college to master that. Sharpe is basically high school to pro

 

[MickZagger]

Refs picking on the rookie

 

[MickZagger]

Dude. Sharpe’s handle …

 

[BigGameDamian]

Let's try to win 1 first

Tournament is just right around the corner.

 

[illmatic99]

Why does Orlando keep going under the screen ob Shaedon

 

[MickZagger]

He just drew that foul that everyone’s been clamoring for

 

[julius]

I think once Shaedon figured out how to snake on through people, he'll eventually get a "holy shit" dunk in the lane (vs the tip-in dunks or drives to the hoop where he doesn't create it).

 

[MickZagger]

I’ve been a big Brogdon fan since he was at Virginia so yea I’m savoring this.

At Virginia he was more lockdown defender type

 

[bxb]

Brogdon is under strict orders to take over at the end of quarters.. I can tell!

he hit a 3 with 2 minutes ont he clock in the 2nd q and then then youngins screwed up the last minute lets see what happens here..

 

[EGame]

By no means am I trying to say Scoot is a bust or anything of the sort, I still have a lot of faith Scoot will figure it out and put it together, but this is definitely Sharpe's team

I for one never thought he'd be nearly this quality of NBA player, but in hindsight it does make sense.. I always knew he was extremely intelligent..

Im not all that impressed with this showing from sharpe.. if this is his team based on this performance --- we're clearly DOOMED..

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

He's not demonstrative about it, but it seems to me that Brogdon really loves the game.

 

[B-Roy]

Robert Williams is awesome lol

 

[illmatic99]

It's nice that we haven't given up triple digits in 3 quarters

 

[julius]

ended the quarter better.

Might be a while before Scoot gets it. Might be better to not start him for a bit.

 

[julius]

It's the small things!

Perhaps. But I'd rather he learn by getting the lumps now.

 

[bxb]

It's nice that we haven't given up triple digits in 3 quarters

flipside is we also have 80 points at the end of 3 quarters in an era where all the lowest scoring teams in the league drop 110ppg

 

[illmatic99]

Can we run some Scoot and Ayton p&rs?

 

[julius]

Can we run some Scoot and Ayton p&rs?

Not if they keep getting fouls at the pace they're getting them.

 

[bxb]

is this gonna be a shaedon sharpe vs cole anthony jumpshooting contest to decide the 4th?

 

[bxb]

jabari walker carrying the 4th q offense like coach billups drew it up

 

[Natebishop3]

God fuck these refs. Scoot literally can't stay on the floor.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Scoot is just a fouling machine.

 

[bxb]

snoozefest

 

[Paine Tablet]

Scoot is just a fouling machine.

no he's not. refs just suck. they pick on rookies. it's bullshit and stupid like our President.

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot is getting the ball to guys and they just fumble that shit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck.

These.

Refs.

 

[bxb]

this season will be completely marred by 3 minute scoring droughts if they dont feed ayton or make a major trade
