Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #3 - BLAZERS @ 76ERS - OCTOBER 29, 2023 - SUNDAY - 4:30 PM PST ROOT

[Idog1976]

Holy fuck Billups is playing Scoot at SG again? WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM?!?!?!? Can we fire him mid game?!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Grant got a rebound!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Scoot looking an awful lot like someone like Mateen Cleaves, only without the great college career.

 

[andalusian]

I mean, the last time we had a half court offense that wasn’t “Dame will figure it out”, Obama was president

Disagree, the blazers had nice half court offense in the dame lma years, with a lot of double screens to get to the pick and roll / pop. There was a bit of that in the early pre injury Nurk days. This team has almost nothing

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Genuine question: what is it that Scoot does well right now?

 

[Natebishop3]

We should be able to get something nice for Brogdon. He's a good player.

Obama was still president when we had LMA though.

That was still in the Obama years.

Brogdon deployed, Operation Rescue Blazers

Get us those Ping pong balls

 

[Idog1976]

Also if that's Scoot's 2nd bench him until late in the second quarter.

 

[Quatro44]

Scoot needs to just stop with the weak reach end fouls

 

[andalusian]

We just saw a double screen with da and rw3/ brogdon. Not sure if it was scripted or rw3 being smart...

At this point, he can't play point guard.

 

[Everything Beagle]

We are soooo old lol

 

[andalusian]

Correct, my bad. Was that also early Nurk years?

 

[Everything Beagle]

Nah play him until he fouls out then make him watch the rest of the game

 

[Natebishop3]

Grant really shouldn't be doing anything other than catch and shoot.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Correct, my bad. Was that also early Nurk years?

Twenty good games of Nurk isn’t “an offense” though; any good Nurk did was a blip compared to the 8 years he sucked or wasn’t here yet.

 

[Whyachi]

Portland hit a jumper... not kidding

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot hasn't touched the ball since Malcolm came in.

 

[Quatro44]

Grant should never dribble

 

[Natebishop3]

I am trying really hard not to overreact to Scoot right now. It's not easy.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Brogdon is the only one who doesn't look scared out there

 

[Cugel]

Grant is awful. All Dame’s doing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Get us those Ping pong balls

Wow - I'm better than an NBA player at the only thing he does well.

 

[Idog1976]

At this point, he can't play point guard.

Maybe so, but why even have him on the floor if he can't shoot and has two fouls? Put Sharpe in for god's sake!

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot hasn't touched the ball since Malcolm came in.

And we went on a run

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Scoot hasn't touched the ball since Malcolm came in.

That's the only reason we're not being blown out yet

 

[Chris Craig]

We aren’t gonna get shit for Grant at the deadline. I’m not sure we wouldn’t have to add a second rounder.

We will get out of his contract.
