Game Thread 2023-24 Game #23 - BLAZERS VS JAZZ - DECEMBER 14, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[Natebishop3]

Young team is inconsistent, more at 11.

This is just gonna be one of those games.

 

[OneSport3]

Shae is looking a little sleepy this game.

No Markkanen or Collins....but Portland not playing well as a 1st-time favorit.

No Clarkson either.

Hopefully it's just going to be one of those first halfs.

 

[Whyachi]

Fontecchio is in cruise control

 

[B-Roy]

Woof, Shaedon worst game ever

 

[BlazerBeav]

May have been the worst half of the season. Sharpe is killing us.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fucking figures.

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot's half court shot looks better then regular 3-pointer. Should Henderson step back and take logo shots?

 

[Tince]

This team hasn't rolled over many times, so hopefully they show something in the 2nd half.

We can’t ask him to do something on offense and then criticize him for trying. His shot isn’t falling tonight. It happens. Oh well.

Looks so out of sorts. He'll bounce back

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ayton's back, that helps

Not noticeably.

 

[riverman]

Hey Chauncey...Sharpe is ice fucking cold, put Malcom in the game or give Ant the ball...give anyone else the ball

 

[illmatic99]

Saw this team just a week ago in SF. They look so different here. What gives? Guys aren't even running full speed. Just going thru the motions

I don't mind his missed jump shots, and I don't get in the effort debates, but I'd like to see him attack with a purpose. He came off a couple screens fairly slow and was quick to give it to a worse player. And obviously, when things aren't falling for him on offense, I would love to see his impact on defense go up, not down.

home for the holidays with a wad of cash, I can guess ..

 

[blazerkor]

Obviously Shaedon isn't playing up to his abilities. His head just isn't where it needs to be right now but I just think it's growing pains for him.

 

[riverman]

If your jumper isn't falling go to the rack and make some free throws maybee?

 

[blazerkor]

If this season was about wins and losses I'd agree but I think Chauncey should coach Shae up at halftime and tell Shae he needs to work through this.

He's trying

Worth a try!

Getting lit up at point of attack over and over.

Just think it’s a classic letdown situation. Utah is w/o Markkanen, Clarkson and Collins. Also, being favored for the first time this season. However, there is no reason for this team to be having letdowns versus anyone.

I think the days of Brogdon playing over 24min a game should be done.

A good coach would coach him up from the bench in my opinion...the team needs to move the ball around and it should be team first, not ISO your way out of a slump ..

 

[blazerkor]

If they are we need to trade his ass because there are teams competing for the championship that would give him way more minutes.

That should be happening anyway.

you don't bench the reigning 6 man of the year in my opinion

Yeah, I think he should have to find it within the offense but I definitely wouldn't sit Shae, that's ridiculous in my opinion.

 

[Whyachi]

yes the Blazers had a rough 1st half, but this is still 1000x better then watching Draymond Green drama.
