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

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

Hey well I will give you props for that! Holy shit someone on the board admitting a mistake, and it's not me (I'm way the fuck off sometimes!!!!), my goodness!

Btw, you will also end up being happily wrong about Scoot. Just wait.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Heat are dead last in the East. Dead. Last.

Their best player is not playing.

 

[AldoTrapani]

4 games in the dude is showing considerable growth and was definitely having his best game before spraining his ankle and you want one of the Thompson twins when every scout thought and probably still thinks that Scoot has the higher ceiling and floor.

What does he do better than the Thompson twins?

 

[AldoTrapani]

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

I don’t think the vets respect him quite yet. Eventually the next part of Shaedon’s growth needs to be his assertiveness and being more an alpha leader

Fouling..

In all seriousness man just give it some time. Sharpe didn't exactly light up the world in his start to the season, he showed flashes of brilliance and potential, but never much else outside of when we sat Dame and he had his chance which was basically after a seasons experience. Give Scoot some time, he is starting to shows some flashes of brilliance and potential too, and the midrange jumper I believe is his bread and butter, it was nice finally seeing him go to that tonight. The game will slow down even more for him and he's starting to show that great potential of being a playmaker and finding his teammates with 7 assists tonight and last game.

 

[inconceivable]

i missed what happened to scoot. how did he injure his ankle? what's the latest update?

Ok I’ll take your word for it

 

[PHXBlazer1]

anyone else think ish looks like hes built like a defensive lineman?

He was in a training camp with the Buffalo Bulls..so ya he does

 

[Whyachi]

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

Indiana shot 5-37 from deep (13%)
ice cold brrrrrricks

 

[Whyachi]

Watford just hit a corner 3 pointer for Brooklyn.

Trendon 11/4/4 in 14m

 

[Natebishop3]

Trendon 11/4/4 in 14m

No minutes for him here.

 

[HansenYang]

No minutes for him here.

Disagree. He's better than Walker is.

Trendon could have all of Jabari's minutes

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Walker is going to be a way better role player. He's taller, he rebounds, he defends, and he plays smart. In theory he can also shoot.

 

[PDXFonz]

This season still might suck, but two wins in a row has me wondering how much, and why. It could suck if we just barely miss the playoffs.

I joked with Stren about tanking this game, and how these are the ones “you have to lose”. Hoping we went into this one ready to play to lose.

Realistically, any win is good for this young team. The future looks great right now. The Bucks also lost and Dame has only had 1 great performance with them so far. Bucks SHOULD be undefeated. 2-2.

At 6:46 here, Killian Hayes slams into Scoots Ankle.....

 

[blazerfan11]

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

At 6:46 here, Killian Hayes slams into Scoots Ankle.....

That really stinks.
Hayes knew he was rolling into Scoot's legs.
Taking out a guy like that should be a serious foul and reviewable after it happens.

This is how it started. There should be no expectation that another player is going to roll into your legs.
Hayes should have dove for the ball in the direction of the ball, but instead decided to chop block Scoot.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

So damn impressed with Camara. Kid makes all the right plays and his defense last night late in the game was really impressive. Scary part is I think he so much more to offer as his playing time increases I think we’ll see him consistently knock down 3’s and be the ideal 3 and D player.

Agreed… dirty fucking play by that piece of shit, should be able to be reviewed & retroactively penalized, somehow. Pretty disgusting play, honestly.

Send him to Detroit! Oh, wait ....

 

[Everything Beagle]

Finally getting to watch this game. Jerami Grant reminds me of Harvey Grant, in exactly the way where, when we had Harvey, we really needed Horace instead.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Really enjoying how rugged Ayton is while still having a bunch of playmaking ability. I see why he was such a good pickup for us.

 

[noknobs]

Jaquez 1-9 tonight.

Jovic with the clutch DNPCD.

Haha, and it sounded like Miami only wanted to give up one of them for Lillard.
