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

[Natebishop3]

9 FTA to 33 FTA.

The Lakers are garbage without the refs.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sharpe loses his guy at one end, throws it away on the other.

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is why I’m not really big on Ayton. Very low basketball iq

 

[twobullz]

How did he not beat him to the spot….. the guy launched shoulder first into Grant.

He also stepped on grants foot. How was grant not there first if grants foot was under his.

 

[MickZagger]

Mays with 12 assists

that is obscene. It's because they complained about Lebron not getting calls...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Offensive.

Even the Laker announcers thought it was a charge.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Crazy the Lakers are barely holding on to a lead even with the refs in their pockets

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sharpe is just too damn passive.

 

[Natebishop3]

What are these possessions.

Thr Billups no system system is so bad.

 

[Cugel]

You can't win a lot of games with that kind of FT disparity.

 

[blazerfan11]

Hmm. Lots of guys making corner threes, then the Blazers decide to quit taking them.

 

[B-Roy]

Sharpe is just too damn passive.

He has 7 turnovers. He was quite aggressive.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sucks. We were right there. Did we do that on purpose? Or are we saving energy for IST game?

 

[Natebishop3]

More lotto balls.

 

[blazerfan11]

What happened to Thybulle? Is he hurt?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yeah, it was Sharpe's passivity that caused Grant to take nearly every shot in the final 5 minutes.

 

[Cugel]

What happened to Thybulle? Is he hurt?

he must be. He had a great first half.

 

[illmatic99]

37-9 FTA differenve is insane

 

[blazerfan11]

If you're the defense, You don't have to worry about making adjustments to the Blazer offense, because if the Blazer offense finds something that's working not named Jerami Grant it'll be forgotten.

 

[KingSpeed]

he must be. He had a great first half.

He’s not hurt. We went with Camara at end like we’ve been doing. I think we lost on purpose though.

 

[inconceivable]

Sharpe is just too damn passive.

Chauncey gave JG the green light to shoot more. He needs to tell Shae the same

 

[blazerfan11]

37-9 FTA differenve is insane

I wonder if Billups is as incensed as Taylor Jenkins , or if he even cares.

 

[KingSpeed]

What happened to Thybulle? Is he hurt?

No

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey gave JG the green light to shoot more. He needs to tell Shae the same

I guarantee you Shae has the green light.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sharpe took 15 shots, 2nd to Jerami’s 17.

 

[FlashWad]

Skylar is a legit NBA player. He played well, glad to have him.

 

[blazerkor]

I have never figured that position out?
So he’s doing well on defense and making shot at a position the team badly needs but we need to trade him?

I think he could make a big enough impact on a team that is going to compete in the playoffs that they would give up a prospect with more upside or draft compensation because they need help now not later and we're in the opposite position. Also Tisse signed with another team this off season we just matched, so if he wants to be on a more competitive team, I'd not want to hold him back.

 

[Tince]

Chauncey gave JG the green light to shoot more. He needs to tell Shae the same

Come on, man.

 

[blazerkor]

Shae just needs to work on ball control, it's not just his handle because I think his handle is nice for a wing, he just can't afford to lose focus on keeping the ball when he has it... he needs to be very intentional when it comes to that and he'll be a lot better.

I'd also like to see him attack the hoop a lot more, I realize he got called for a pretty blatant charge but I'd like to see more of that because their won't always be someone in his way and when they are they most likely won't have their feet planted or they'll be in the restricted area.
