[KingSpeed]

Sharpe is terrible

No he’s good

 

[B-Roy]

Sharpe floats way too much. I still don’t see primary scorer. Maybe really good second option.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sharpe is terrible

Moore, on the other hand..

 

[BlayZa]

Yuki time!

 

[Cugel]

Sharpe floats way too much. I still don’t see primary scorer. Maybe really good second option.

There are many players that can do what he is doing right now. He is simply not noteworthy. Maybe he and Scoot will undergo tremendous transformations? Probably not. If not they are both role players.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think the players were offered a bonus for missing at least 5 threes.

 

[Natebishop3]

RWIII needs to be put in bubble wrap until we can trade him. I been saying it for weeks.

He’s been getting better each year. Even tonight wasn’t so bad. 15 points on 12 shots. Only 1 turnover.

Missed a lot more than 5

 

[KingSpeed]

Missed a lot more than 5

5 players missed at least 5 threes.

Hmm... What's changed?

 

[PCmor7]

The Griz are just a bad matchup for the Blazers. They are just as big, but stronger and more physical. They also have by far the best player on either team.

There are better teams in the NBA the Blazers can compete with just because they don't check all the boxes on the Blazers' weaknesses the way Memphis does.

We lost because we missed threes.

I agree with this statement. We will likely struggle against Cleveland as well( who doesn't) for the same reasons.

 

[Chris Craig]

Couldn't even get to 100...bums

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ja showboating. It won’t end well for him. Blazers by 9.

Only 34 points off

 

[Dozer]

We lost because we missed threes.

I think the answer is a question. Why did we miss so many threes? Were they wide open or contested?
I don’t recall many open threes compared to them.

No we just missed. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight.

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe had a bad night shooting the ball. So that means he's not a primary scorer?

One of the hallmarks of a primary scorer is that they can still get more points than shots on a bad night. Maybe even on a very bad night.

Look at the drastic difference between Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe.

 

[Dozer]

Looking at our team 3pt% for the season, I am not sure we should expect much different. We do not seem to be a good three point shooting team. We seem to be settling for them far too often early in the shot clock, when we should be running more off ball screens combined with on ball screens to take advantage of switches with the off ball screen benefactor dashing for a lob, pass or rebound/putback.

Once Damian Lillard learned how to get to the line more, his name entered the mvp talks because of his increased ppg average.

 

[Dozer]

Tough night. Memphis is a handful with how they push the ball.
I never felt like any of the players didn’t play as hard as possible. On to the next game, which we should take, unless we are severely short handed due to injuries.

Go Blazers!

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Terrible shot selection and not going to your best player when you’re struggling.

 

[BlayZa]

another elite blazers performance.

imma go watch some Brandon Roy good vibe vids

 

[tlongII]

Why didn’t Clingan play?

 

[e_blazer]

Why didn’t Clingan play?

Sprained knee.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why didn’t Clingan play?

Brooks

 

[blazerkor]

If our vets have any value around the league, and I think they probably do, get them the fuck out of here. I'm sick of thinking about losing the opportunity to get rid of these guys every time one of them goes out of the game.

 

[THE HCP]

Toumani turning down an open 3-pointer. Not good.

SHouldn’t you blame Coach Billups for this?

 

[THE HCP]

The bench unit is bringing the energy.

You going to give Coach Billups credit for this FAMS?
