Game Thread 2023-24 Game #6 - BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 3, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

I think Thybulle lost his spot.

I think he might be one of the only players that probably would be fine with not starting as long as he has a role.

 

[EGame]

I'm so glad to see us battling and not just battling, but winning and seeing Sharpe be a HUGE reason for the wins on both ends of the floor. This guy is special and will be a treat to watch for a long time to come. Dude just balls.

 

[KingSpeed]

Players we got in Dame trade had….

53 points and 32 rebounds

Thank you, Joe. Now we have to trade Ant….

 

[Natebishop3]

Shaedon walking through a haunted house is hilarious..... nothing fades this dude

 

[LayneStaley]

Remember when we thought we would have to attach a pick to get rid of Nurk? We got 2/5 of our starting lineup for a 7 footer who doesn’t dunk the ball. WIN!

 

[illmatic99]

lol i love shaedon not wanting to do postgame interviews. kid just wants to be left alone.

 

[blazerkor]

Three in a row! .500 basketball!

I said the other day that we might beat Memphis in both of these games to go above .500 for the first and last time this season. After this next game it's hard to find wins in the following 17... but maybe the team will shock us all and be much better than we're expecting.

 

[Eastoff]

I don't like coach calling out Ayton on the floor.

 

[Natebishop3]

Joe Cronin deserves a ton of fucking credit.

He has built a really solid young core. I'm so pumped about our future.

we did also give up another guy. used to wear a letter for a number.

I suspect the Ayton trade would have happened regardless of whether it was rolled into the Dame trade or not.

He’s growing before our eyes

 

[TYDame]

I love the young kids learning how to win and closing close game

 

[blazerkor]

That shit is so funny. Shaedon looks confused and asks if some of the other guys are actually scared.

 

[Eastoff]

Good luck court

 

[riverman]

I'll eat my Chauncey crow tonight. He's got these guys playing defense and grinding out wins...3 in a row. Hard to win the first one back from a road trip and without Scoot and Ant...gotta love how this team is coming together. I can cheer for these guys up and down the roster. We have a great bench.

 

[julius]

Ahhh, so satisfying to see my and many other early Sharpe supporters fondest dreams coming true and so quickly. THIS KID IS FUCKING 20 GUYS!!!!!!

Damn, and he's played 46 minutes tonight?

Ooh to be young...

OOOH, that's not what you meant.

 

[Tince]

Joe Cronin deserves a ton of fucking credit.

Finally something I was right about!

Now what can he get us for Jerami, Malcolm, Tisse and maybe Rob Williams if the price is right.

Yeah, gonna be tough, but we will see. Just glad we are playing some winning basketball. We have fight. There was a time not long ago when if the Blazers went down double digits late, they would pack it in. This team doesn't give up and I love that.

...hey, don't know Dirty Grayson like that! Suns needed more lil bitches!

I think that's a movie called, Let's Go Brandon!

 

[Tince]

Who says the mid-season tournament is meaningless?

 

[julius]

I know it's incredibly early (and Im only saying this for comedic purposes) but don't look now, but Portland has a better record than Miami AND Phoenix.

And is only 1 game behind Milwaukee...Clearly this means....well, absolutely nothing.

 

[twobullz]

Grant with 8 boards tonight. This is the first game I have seen this season, seen a lot of hate towards his rebounding. Got to give props when props are due.

 

[KingSpeed]

Three in a row! .500 basketball!

Three in a row = 1.000 basketball. First 3 games don’t count.

Yep. The defense is looking pretty good!

In the category of don't look now, just don't look at our upcoming schedule and enjoy that the next game is against these shitty Grizzlies.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Camara playing on crunch time… I love it

and overtime. Kinda weird for a rookie drafted late in the 2nd round (52) to be in during crunch time and overtime. Even weirder, I think coach thinks of him as a vet.

Oh, I know a lot of pain is forthcoming.
