[SharpesTriumph]

This team looks like a borderline playin team some nights and then by far the worst team in the league other nights, will be curious what team shows up.

The whole roster needs a bit more patience with jacking up poor 3s early in the shot clock.

Banton has exceeded expectations more than any player on our roster. Really has became our best offensive option off the bench and secondary creator.

Camara is having a nice year, possibly is the best defender in the league. But he needs to be more productive on offense. Launch more threes when he can but slow down a bit more in control on other shots.

Avidja has a nice all around game.

Sharpe should create a bit more offense.

Ant offense has been better the last week, he should be the primary creator with our lack of offensive talent. But that means creating for the team, not just himself. He needs to cut down on turnovers and take less poor shots early in the shot clock.

Ayton should shoot more 3s and more inside the free throw line. Less LMA jumpers.

Excited to see how the team looks but that can sure change quickly with this squad.

The one thing I've really enjoyed lately is that Billups is starting to figure out how to use the roster to infuse what seems to be missing in the on-floor action. Need some rebounding? Bring in Walker. Offense stagnant? Send out DB Hooper. Getting killed by smallball? Deni's our center now.

 

[tlongII]

I’m actually going to the game tonight. Hopefully it’s entertaining.

 

[BlazerBeav]

After Friday I'd like to think this could be a good game - but when Luka is on, ugh.

 

[Dozer]

It is game day. Hopefully we make it two in a row!

[MickZagger]

Just got off a call from 1 center court.

Clingan, Scoot and Robert Williams are no-go’s

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Wonder how much strategic rest opponents will try to do against our squad. Might help us get that over for wins on the season but may not be good for those wanting a high lotto pick.

Clingan should be out weeks, not sure if there will be an announcement when Timelord clears concussion protocol.

Scoot being out likely helps the Blazers chance to win.

Jerami playong?

Nope. I believe we won 3 straight when we had Scoot and Sharpe starting together with no Ant. Then Scoot got hurt, Ant got back and we sucked again. This team will improve once Ant is gone and Sharpe/Scoot are starting. Need DC to take over for Ayton who needs to go too.

It is game night.
Are you excited?

Let’s go Blazers!

I’ve seen 2 games so far this season. So no. Wish they were on national tv sometimes.

Personal decision or unable to find a feed? I have watched every game on one channel or another.

Not buying Blazervision and couldn’t get antennas to work. Gave it some effort for 20 mins or so and gave up.

Try sportsurge.net, you can generally find a decent streaming option there.

I have an ad-blocker so don't have much of an issue but I imagine without, there might be a lot of extra-curricular distractions.

If you have Comcast, Dish or Direct tv, I believe you should be getting a feed without the need of Blazervision or an antenna.

Thanks. Just not paying to watch them play.

 

[Dozer]

I am not a fan of Luka. He seems so smug.

 

[julius]

Kinda funny, in a good way, how Michael Holton played in Portland almost 40 years ago for just 2 years, and found his way back here to live permanently.

Do you know why Lamar Hurd is out?

 

[Dozer]

Blazers are playing well. I predicted a loss for them, as Dallas has superior talent. I may have underestimated the Blazers. They play hard.

 

[julius]

Do you know why Lamar Hurd is out?

They said back issues (I would assume back spasms).

 

[MickZagger]

Camara pestering Doncic.

Such a valuable card he is to have in our pocket.

He's kind of like Stacey Augmon. If Stacey was taller and a little more offensively minded (later Stacey, not Atlanta Stacey).

He is currently our best player in my opinion. He does not have the highest upside, but right now he is more consistent and can be relied on more than any other player, it seems.

 

[B-Roy]

So many turnovers. Deni has 3 already.

 

[Dozer]

The DJ just played some old school Scarface.

My block!
