Game Thread 2023-24 PRESEASON - BLAZERS VS SUNS - OCTOBER 12, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM PST - NBATV, ROOT +

How long will Ayton be happy to just be the rebound jockey on this team?

If he is smart or has any self-control, he'll need to fake it for a season or two.

If you have issues with multiple franchises in a row, everyone will assume he's the real problem.

Crap, give it some time

Man this forum is going be rough this year. Two preseason games in and we are already ripping on guys, lol. Not only are there a lot of young players but also lot of new guys learning a new system. Lower your expectations….. and just enjoy the ups

Yeah just going to have to stay on the bright side this year. Look for positives.

Where the f is Camara

Difference is, Simons was 80 pounds soaking wet and was drafted about where he should've been. Sharpe was a lotto pick, and should be further along.

Sharpe was drafted for his potential. Not as a finished product. Hell, he didn't play for like a year.

Look he’s suffering enough having to watch the game now you want him to participate in it?!

I think you mean Simons.

 

[Bingo Bango]

Sharpe is not looking like he's ready for prime time.

I don’t think he ever will be.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love watching teams that move the ball crisply.

 

[julius]

I think we all want to see signs or glimpses of stuff. And not just once or twice a quarter.

They’re just tired from playing 15 minutes two nights ago

 

[Natebishop3]

I sincerely think people need to dial back the expectations for this season.

 

[illmatic99]

Ayton finally got a shot.

 

[Whyachi]

Bol Bol sighting

 

[Quatro44]

Feels like the one spot by the blazers bench both teams keep stepping out of bounds

 

[julius]

DeAndre looked totally disinterested in that last play.

Either he's gassed or going full Ayton on us.

 

[beast blazer]

Is it too early to start talking about the draft?

 

[Everything Beagle]

I sincerely think people need to dial back the expectations for this season.

It’s just a game. Not a single aspect of it is within our control. There’s literally no sense in worrying about it.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Never too early, who looks good?

 

[Everything Beagle]

DeAndre looked totally disinterested in that last play.

I mean, that’s fair

 

[illmatic99]

i was told Scoot couldn't shoot

 

[Natebishop3]

It’s just a game. Not a single aspect of it is within our control. There’s literally no sense in worrying about it.

I don't even think it's necessarily worrying about it. I think deep down, in places we don't talk about, some of us thought that we'd be good.

 

[riverman]

Keon getting some love when he steps in the game!

 

[Natebishop3]

Solid night for Scoot.

 

[julius]

Can we Bill and Ted Scoot and Shaedon?

 

[Ed O]

So ... who else gets really excited watching Scoot shoot the three like that last one?

 

[B-Roy]

Watching Moses Brown vs Bol Bol is like watching poverty Chet vs Wemby.

 

[Quatro44]

Bol Bol sighting

 

[riverman]

Moses Brown has clearly put on 20 lbs of muscle!

 

[illmatic99]

So ... who else gets really excited watching Scoot shoot the three like that last one?

just put him in as many games as possible so he figures out defensive coverages and set him free in a year or two. if he stays healthy, he's an all star.

just need him to take the reins on the leadership and we're gonna be golden.
