Game Thread 2023-24 Game #5 - BLAZERS @ PISTONS - NOVEMBER 1, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 4:00 PM PST - ROOT

If Shae and Ant can take the offensive load of Scoot, that helps him so much. He can just work on bring a distributor.

 

[Whyachi]

where's that Marang tweet saying Shaedon shouldn't start ??

 

[Mr. Robot]

they should think about shutting it down before we fuck up our draft lottery odds lol

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara, drafted at #52, is better than Henderson, drafted at #3.

Camara is 23.

Scoot is 19.

Come on man.

 

[beast blazer]

Crazy. Is this the Lillard touch on defense? They seem to be missing Holiday more than they expected.

I was never a big Dame fan. Best offensive player in Blazer history, but I'd take prime Terry Porter or Rod Strickland over him at PG.

 

[Tortimer]

Now I remember why I stop coming on this site. I can’t believe how some of you think Scoot is a bust. I love Sharpe’s game and believe he has even more upside but imho I think Scoot will end up even better.

 

[noknobs]

The Piston announcers said we're "well-coached", figured you all would appreciate that.

 

[blazerfan11]

Cronin may have crowned the Celtics by moving Jrue Holiday to Boston.

 

[Portland2014]

Sharpe having a huge role in the win ----> GOOD WIN!

but still the last two or so possessions went to Brogdon, why!?!?!?!? when Sharpe is cooking he should get all the final possessions like Lillard in the past years

 

[Bingo Bango]

One guy is 23 and the other is 19...

Yep, and the 23-year-old is better.

 

[illmatic99]

where's that Marang tweet saying Shaedon shouldn't start ??

Dont worry he covered his tracks by immediately tweeting a contrasting viewpoint minutes after.

Chauncey walks on water in Motown.

maybe it just took a few games to learn the system. Did the offense look more organized tonight?

Oh right lol I forgot

This site is getting wonky again...I see a "loading reddit" task bar when trying to open a page or "loading twitter" ....slow as mud again for opening new pages. I've never used reddit in my life

Like the bench play. Mays is a confident player.

Mays can run an offense

 

[Mr. Robot]

Do our guys not have the passing ability to feed Ayton more? 13 shots is more than he's had, but still not enough when he's going against a 6'8 center.

hes never going to be more than 3rd option behind sharpe & scoot, just like nurk never was with dame & cj mccollum

but he can be 18/10, hopefully with good defense, as long as hes not an empty stats player (we know that he can put up stats, but so could whiteside & kanter, thats why its more about impact on the game than just raw numbers and nurk is that player, but more so before the leg break)

 

[B-Roy]

No way Shaedon isn't starting over Thybulle if we're fully healthy though.

 

[blazerfan11]

Watford just hit a corner 3 pointer for Brooklyn.

Mays sucks lol

 

[Mediocre Man]

Defense again

 

[Quatro44]

Camara, drafted at #52, is better than Henderson, drafted at #3.

Nah, both are asked to do different things in game so you can’t compare them like that. Camara has the makings of a great role player though.

 

[blazerfan11]

No way Shaedon isn't starting over Thybulle if we're fully healthy though.

Nobody is starting over Sharpe. he should be #1 on the list.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yep, and the 23-year-old is better.

I beat my neighbor one-on-one a couple weeks back. I’m 41. He’s 15.

(I’m also 6’5” and he’s like 5’7”.)

 

[1 Eye Jack]

2 Ws in a row!

after looking like we might lose 10 or more in a row, lol.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yep, and the 23-year-old is better.

He isn’t better. He’s more experienced. All we are asking him to do is defend, rebound, and maybe hit a shot. We are asking Scoot to run the offense. Do you not see a difference?

 

[Mediocre Man]

The Piston announcers said we're "well-coached", figured you all would appreciate that.

Billups is a Pistons legend. Of course they said that

 

[blazerfan11]

Camara, drafted at #52, is better than Henderson, drafted at #3.

Camara is nearly 4 years older than 19-year-old Scoot.

 

[Kano John]

Win or lose I'm just excited to see an exciting up-paced brand of basketball being played. It's been a lot of years since I've been this enthused about the team.
