Game Thread 2023-24 PRESEASON - BLAZERS @ SUNS - OCTOBER 16, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM NBA TV, KPTV

What scares me just a little bit is that Scoot went from a supremely confident point guard two games ago, to a very confused and unconfident looking point guard in this game. The body language just isn't the same. Is he intimidated by Durant/Booker/Beal? Something to keep an eye on.

Looks pretty confident to start this half.

Yeah I liked that.

Billups wasn't good with Dame, CJ, Ant, Powell, RoCo, Grant, Hart, Nurk, etc. What makes us think he would be good with the youngest team in the NBA?

he’s been asked to do something that he’s not comfortable doing. He’s a pg playing off the ball standing around you’re going to lose your aggression, no rythym

 

[Natebishop3]

SHAEDON!

 

[Whyachi]

fly Air Canada

 

[blazerfan11]

Walker!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Seeing good things from everyone in black so far

 

[Natebishop3]

Sharpe has such a beautiful pull up.

 

[Whyachi]

dam you Nassir, we almost cut the lead under 20

 

[illmatic99]

when shaedon has his body square to the basket from midrange, it's automatic

 

[Natebishop3]

I can't understand these fuckers flopping in preseason.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

If Camara does not get at least 12 to 15 minutes per game then I really question if this staff should even be coaching in the NBA -- facts

 

[Whyachi]

Here we go with Tom Hamberblab, 10 minutes of dumb gibberish on tap

When did they decide that games need filler bluff bullshit? I hate it in summer league and I can't comprehend why they need to do it in regular games.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Hmm, Jabari. Perhaps spinning back toward the paint while dribbling is slightly outside your skillset...

 

[Natebishop3]

Bari is a great garbage man, but any time we try to feed him in the paint.... he holds onto it too long.

He hasn't looked good night.

 

[TBpup]

That possession Sharpe had against Allen is exactly where a better handle would have come in handy. Don't see much difference than last year.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Murray just doesn't look like he belongs. JV talent in a varsity game.

 

[blazerfan11]

Is Murray ever going to make a shot?

 

[Whyachi]

Reath is chucking threes... someone needs to tell him he's a 6'11" CENTER. get under the hoop dude

 

[illmatic99]

Don't see much difference than last year.

really? it's night and day. especially in transition.

 

[Blazinaway]

in practice

I'd like to have seen him challenge Allen anyway. Seemed like the biggest problem for him there was his lack of confidence in his handle. Went to the back down way too quickly.

 

[Idog1976]

Well, our team is young, and raw AF lol. Of course we aren't playing any of the vets so the average age is like 22 tops lol.

Preseason isnt a regular game.

 

[Natebishop3]

Preseason isnt a regular game.

Not our preseason games apparently.... same damn team as the SL team

 

[illmatic99]

my trajectory and nba comp for shaedon is Jaylen Brown.

Brown averaged 15/5 on good percentages in 31 mpg with 70 starts.

Think Shaedon can match his production even if he doesn't start.

 

[James lamphear]

Especially he try the same move twice with negative results.
