Game Thread 2023-24 Game #42 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - JANUARY 21, 2023 - SUNDAY - 7:00 PM PST

Isn't a broken nose usually result of a nasal contusion with more impact?

For some reason I was thinking the shot to the face affected his sinuses. I was probably wrong.

I only posted that to try to show how macho I am so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Casey asked about consistent effort and approach the last 2 weeks. Coach Billups reminded him that the (-200) road trip doesn't count. We're only supposed to look at the 2 game win streak for results.

Awful gameplan tonight. Way too much switching into mismatches on defense. Why is Simons on an island guarding Lebron? Why is Scoot switching onto AD? Why is Grant on Russell? All that switching works on teams like Indiana, but the Lakers are much more physical.

If I'm coaching he comes off the bench and studies Brogdan all season...he needs to learn to be a pt guard by example, not trial and error...his coach is a HOF pt guard, there's no rush to get him up to game speed. It'll come. People want him to dominate at 19 and he's just not close to that level yet. If I have an Andre Miller type I don't start Nolan Smith.....Brogdan is a lot like Andre ..that's what Scoot needs to learn....for one, how to finish a layup with his left hand. Scoot is and always has been a very promising project. I believe winning and playoff experience are the best teachers. Tanking is for losers

Which is why in a perfect world, we'd be moving Ant instead of Malcom.

Portland set a league high, 7 Blazer rookies played in tonight's game.

Rupert looks like he's improved so much from the start of the season. Wish I could say the same for scoot.

He’s so bad I can’t believe how wrong experts were on him

I hoped for 13 points, 5 assists per game. Expectations are the problem. Not his game.

The ups and downs are annoying, I would hope for more consistency

Yeah and Ayton has to study up on players like that James guy that get easy calls from the refs. It messes up your rhythm.

 

[beast blazer]

Because of 10 minutes of one game??

That is just a microcosm of the greater whole.

 

[KingSpeed]

No it’s not

 

[beast blazer]

No it’s not

Yes it is

Don’t really watch Blazers much anymore. How was Poop Henderson?

If you are going to continue calling him Poop Henderson, it only seems fitting that we should start calling you Dildo Trapani.

Kick him in the Tunchi!

I went with Dildo Crapani, if you wanna swap up both first and last...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Kick him in the Tunchi!

Whose that??? Lol

"GET RID OF DAME HE FUCKING SUCKS. WORST PG WE EVER HAD."

Scoot enters:

"THIS GUY IS THE WORST PG WE HAVE EVER HAD".

Mid tier midtierdenson enters:

"THIS GUY FUCKING SUCKS".

Just always remember, the common denominator in this situation is the person making these comments, and how each and every person should never listen to them.

 

[kjironman1]

Whose that??? Lol

The very fact that you knew Tunchi was someone speaks volumes.
