[Chris Craig]

Bub Carrington going to go off on us?

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant is on fire again. 1 - 5 to start the game. 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 rebounds. He does have 1 block.

 

[crandc]

Deni gets rebound on his butt!

 

[BlazerBeav]

That arena is dead. I fully understand why, but even watching on TV, there's a lack of excitement because of it.

 

[Haakzilla]

Couldve won dunk contest blind folded in his sleep!!

 

[blazerfan11]

Hopefully Grant will get a well-deserved lengthy rest.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Sharpe with a great 1st quarter...playing alongside Scoot and Ant

 

[Mediocre Man]

This Sharpe kid is pretty good.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Bub Carrington going to go off on us?

It's interesting to me that what look like two pretty good players, him and Ware went 13 and 14 in a supposedly really weak draft.

 

[julius]

the feed choppy for anyone else?

 

[blazerkor]

HOLY SHIT!!!

 

[illmatic99]

Dunk of the year

 

[julius]

WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT!?!?

 

[blazerkor]

Shaedon is going to be electric to watch for the next 12 or so years.

 

[julius]

MORE MORE MORE!!

 

[julius]

Even Jabari was like " HOLY SHIT "

 

[Cugel]

That dunk was 10x better than any jumping over a goddamn car

 

[julius]

Oof...that pass kinda took a bit of the bloom off the rose.

 

[blazerfan11]

the feed choppy for anyone else?

For a couple moments it was.

 

[blazerfan11]

Yes it's choppy . the video.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Not a single comment about that sick pass from Clingan to Sharpe?

 

[Cugel]

Great job ref

 

[blazerkor]

Not a single comment about that sick pass from Clingan to Sharpe?

It was a really nice pass and that did get said on the broadcast.

I don't think the pass deserved the same kind of reaction that Shaedon dunk did.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Phenomenal dunk and offense thus far for Sharpe, but what about his defense? It can’t be great, why is he still playing?

 

[blazerkor]

Definitely looks like a game between two of the worst teams in the league. Young guys who are still learning the game and vets that don't really give a shit. The only difference is one of the teams has played this season like they prioritize their young players development and understand what there is at the top of this draft.

 

[Cugel]

Struggling g tonight

 

[blazerkor]

Phenomenal dunk and offense thus far for Sharpe, but what about his defense? It can’t be great, why is he still playing?

I honestly think he's only playing so much because Deni is dinged up tonight and look at the results on offense. You just have to give Deni the minutes when he's healthy that Jerami and Ant are getting right now.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Good minutes for the youngsters in the first half. But without Deni and the foul issues for Clingan, Scoot, and Camara.....this feels like it will be a loss.

 

[tlongII]

I just saw Shaedon’s dunk. OMG!
