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

[1 Eye Jack]

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

I agree surprised how much people are off the Scoot bandwagon. Kid is showing flashes game is starting to slow down and as long as he doesn’t get in his own head his shot will eventually start falling.

 

[Blazinaway]

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.

Agree, very fun game, Shae looks really locked in this yr, and is playing his ass off - great to see. Awesome comeback win!

 

[Bingo Bango]

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?

Yes, I do. Scoot has the ball in his hands a lot more than Camara does, and yet Camara does more with his limited opportunities.

There's like 2 people. That's too many?

 

[Natebishop3]

Yes, I do. Scoot has the ball in his hands a lot more than Camara does, and yet Camara does more with his limited opportunities.

Ok bro. I guess you do you.

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey explaining in the post game how he was mad at Scoot and Shaedon for making a ton of defensive mistakes at the end of the 1st half - which is why he pulled both. I actually like it.

 

[B-Roy]

Ok bro. I guess you do you.

I don't think anyone is going to argue Camara contributes more to winning than Scoot right now? That's not really the point though.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Ant in Brogdons role next year would be ideal. Guy can light it up and would be a great 6th man.

I’m not big fan of Grant feel like he’s really trying to force offense and 1 rebound is just ridiculous. We need offense but stop forcing shots and start being team player and rebound

 

[Bingo Bango]

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

Right. That’s probably why he’s better already. He’s more NBA-ready.

 

[blazerfan11]

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

Meanwhile, Boston was just up by 50 points in their game against the Pacers.

 

[blazerfan11]

Right. That’s probably why he’s better already. He’s more NBA-ready.

As has already been stated, Camara IS NOT PLAYING POINT GUARD.

not just on here lol heard it on radio and other forums.

 

[Eastoff]

Scoot - sprained Ankle.

Thank you

 

[TYDame]

Bucks down 26 to the Raptors with 4 minutes to go in the 4th.

Bucks are just bored and can’t wait for the playoffs to start

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Watford just hit a corner 3 pointer for Brooklyn.

I was just thinking during the game tonight: wonder where is Watford?

 

[TYDame]

Camara need to start over Thybulle

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Camara need to start over Thybulle

Thybulle,17 min.
TooMany Buckets, 26 min.

Maybe we don't need to fire the coach after all,

 

[riverman]

Thybulle is actually getting the Noah Vonleh treatment for minutes...about 17 minutes a game starting the first and 3rd qtrs pretty much

 

[Bingo Bango]

Bucks are just bored and can’t wait for the playoffs to start

If they stay this bored, they won’t even make the playoffs.

 

[Idog1976]

Yes, I do. Scoot has the ball in his hands a lot more than Camara does, and yet Camara does more with his limited opportunities.

Hey how's that statement of yours looking pal?

"Bingo Bango said: ↑
"I consider Simons and Sharpe to be the same kind of players. Flashy, talented, explosive—but not smart enough or disciplined enough to be great all-around players. I think Sharpe is going to be a bust. He’s probably already hit his ceiling.""

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't think anyone is going to argue Camara contributes more to winning than Scoot right now? That's not really the point though.

That’s not what he said.

 

[Bingo Bango]

Hey how's that statement of yours looking pal?

Not very good. And I’m glad to be proven wrong!

 

[illmatic99]

Camara need to start over Thybulle

Toumani Camara = Tayshaun Prince.

 

[beast blazer]

Please trade Thybulle by the deadline. He's mister 0 0 0 0.

 

[Mediocre Man]

The “problem” with Sharpe starting is the make up of the team. You simply can’t have 5 guys starting who all want the ball and all want to score 20+.

An ideal lineup with is team is Scoot, Sharpe, Camara, Walker, Ayton….in like 3 years

You mean the Tony Snell.

Love that. Had he done that with Dame, CJ and Ant, we would have been better for it

You think Walker is our long term answer at PF? I see him as more of a decent backup.

 

[Tince]

Blazers are now a full game ahead of the Miami Heat

 

[wizenheimer]

Shaedon realizing he can get to the line now is like a revelation. This is Broy reincarnated.

Shaedon needs to learn to use his left hand a lot more to be a good comp with Roy; of course, Roy was 22 when he was a rookie, and 23 in his 2nd season
