Game Thread 2023-24 Game #9 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - NOVEMBER 12, 2023 - SUNDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[julius]

We’re out of pgs

I do like the new guy, I always wondered what happened to Meechie Terry.

 

[Portland2014]

Shaedon's handles are so broken

 

[B-Roy]

Skylar is hurt

 

[bemac]

You guys think scoot can be even just as good as DeAngelo Russell?

Do these things sound clever in your head before posting them? Like, do you get a little excited?

 

[julius]

Shaedon's handles are so broken

Well, his handles were never great to begin with, but having a thumb injury doesn't help him.

 

[julius]

The game is starting to slip away.

I will never understand how Ayton isn't a go-to guy on offense, especially when the offense turns to garbage.

All the Blazers need to do is dribble the ball around , distract the defense and throw it to him at the free-throw line.

 

[B-Roy]

Is it possible to have negative spacing

 

[B-Roy]

I will never understand how Ayton isn't a go-to guy on offense, especially when the offense turns to garbage.

Almost all of our offensive issues are the result of our complete lack of spacing. Once you accept that, things become much more clear.

I guess that’s a stupid question to you and you want to give a Homer answer

 

[julius]

I don't think Grant is going to get more points tonight than he did in the last game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Seems as if we have missed a lot of open threes.

 

[blazerfan11]

Mays is now 3-19 on three-pointers but the Blazers keep throwing it to him in the corner.

We should see if ESPN can rig up one of those graphs showing his value going up and down game by game.

Yeah, we should have him dominating in the paint. Billups doesn't know what he is doing.

Gotta hit that fourth one sooner or later right

 

[Natebishop3]

It would be nice if we could sign some dudes that can shoot.

 

[Chris Craig]

It would be nice if we could sign some dudes that can shoot.

They are all on other teams

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck it. Keep playing Reath because he’s the only dude that can shoot.

 

[bemac]

Mays is now 3-19 on three-pointers but the Blazers keep throwing it to him in the corner.

And he shot 45% last year...They need him shooting them to find his stroke. Every player goes through it. He's fine

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara has to be able to do something on offense or we can’t play him. It’s the same problem with Thybulle.

 

[Natebishop3]

Toumani was a gettin under his skin lol.

 

[Portland2014]

Shaedon so passive

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck these refs. Such horse shit. Weak ass calls.

 

[KingSpeed]

Need a big 4th out of Shaedon

 

[Chris Craig]

Put in Ish

 

[B-Roy]

Shaedon so passive

Dude he’s at 35 mins. And he’s not coming out. Chauncey wants Shaedon to lead the offense but he’s also playing him the whole game and expecting the same effort on defense.

There’s no solution for the predicament the team is in. Without shooters every play is going to look like trying to brute force through a brick wall.

 

[Natebishop3]

I can’t stand watching the Lakers because of the way the refs coddle them. It makes me hate the NBA.

 

[KingSpeed]

It would be nice if we could sign some dudes that can shoot.

Knox shot well today

 

[Portland2014]

Need a big 4th out of Shaedon

Do you think he's interested in having one?

I think he will prefer standing in the corner or passing the ball to two-way contract players
