Shaedon ducking out of the player of the game once Deni started talking is hilarious.

 

[blazerkor]

I think Shaedon can be the first option guy and Deni can be the second option on a team that could win a lot of games in the future.

 

[Quatro44]

Blazers win

 

[KingSpeed]

The Hansen trade is looking worse and worse this early. Could have had Coward or Queen. Or even the Pels' first round pick next year!

Queen is just playing Clingan. I'd take another look at Hansen because Clingan ain't offering much right now either.

9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks

Grant has to be smarter than to exchange himself for Burl Ives, or whatever the fuck that guys name is

Two things first I was getting annoyed with how much Grant was bal hogging, empty possessions with no ball movement. It goes to Grant most likely it coming back to you, so wasn’t upset seeing him out of game. When he’s on he’s good

Second Murray is doing a lot of good things when he’s on the court

Is like I said with Shae, SHOT SELECTION. When he attacks the basket he's GREAT.

Seriously, what do people want from Clingan?!?

He's a double double/shot blocking machine. I don't think he's the best fit with our schemes on both ends but that's not him falling off, he's still a very quality big with up side.

These last two games it looks like that clicked. In his post game he talked about watching video and shot selection. I think this level of play is very sustainable for him.

 

[Quatro44]

Dunk of the night

 

[julius]

He still shot too many 3s, but this was a much better game from Shaedon. I'm convinced he had some kind of nagging injury that was hampering his game.

I'm hoping this is more of how he'll play going forward (maybe some improved 3 point shooting %/shot choice).

I think when he's not having the offense designed for him, he seems to just be there.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Camara defense guys is rough

 

[blazerkor]

Dunk of the night

Not a lot of teams have a guard who can execute a dunk like that in traffic. We're pretty lucky.

2 words. Shot. Selection.

If he consistently aggressively attacks the basket, every part of his offensive game will benefit.

I hope so. I see a laid back personality. Which is something I do not like in a basketball player.

He looks soft when he settles for step back 3s. I need that to stop and that comes from coaching.

 

[Quatro44]

Sharpe was 11 for 11 from two. Nuts!

Not to mention he sets picks like a brick wall.

Considering he’s been on the injury report with a calf issue this whole time, and on a minutes restriction, I’d say that’s pretty accurate.

Some of this is the same thing people said about Drexler. He moved so smooth and effortless people called him lazy. I kind of think Sharpe has that same way about him. So athletic he seems like he is taking it easy.

I think Tiago has championship experience with two of the most laid back superstars in league history (Timmy and Kawhi). I think he could be a great coach for Shaedon.

I can stomach the step back threes if we get all of the drives to the hoop we've had these last two games.

 

[blazerkor]

Not to mention he sets picks like a brick wall.

And that was a big oversight on my part because those screens are very very valuable.

Queen looking like a young Demarcus Cousins

I think Queen's game will get figured out. I also think he's at a higher-than-average chance of eating his way out of being a good player as he gets older and fills out. Let's watch him get a little more defensive attention and get exposed to a few pick-and-rolls at the other end of the floor. I think he'll be a good player because he's skilled and plays a different kind of game, but just something about him doesn't give me the vibe that he's got a high ceiling.

He kills the Blazers, though. Did it in summer league, too.

 

[PCmor7]

BTW, one of the best games I think Shaedon's ever played. Looked like a totally different guy on the defensive end, didn't get beaten back door or lose focus, looked to move the ball more than usual on offense. If he brings that effort most games and into his offseason workouts, he has a chance to be special but at least will be really, really good. He has to do it consistently, though.

I have no problems with it he’s only going to continue to get better. He starts hitting this shots and it will open up his game even more. 3 level scorer, his shot is smooth so potential is there just a matter of gaining confidence. He gets this shots to fall we have a superstar on our team

I can stomach the step back threes if we get all of the drives to the hoop we've had these last two games.

I don't think of Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard when I think of laid back players. I think of them as quiet people or introverts, but, on the court, they are incredibly hard workers. Maybe sometimes it doesn't look like it because they do a lot of the harder work before the ball is in their hands or the guy they're defending got the ball, but they were locked in. Shaedon doesn't give me anything close to that vibe.

 

[riverman]

When Scoot and Tisse and Blake get back we're going to be scary deep..then next year we should be beasting with Dame's daggers.

 

[riverman]

when I think of smooth laid back Blazer players I think of Plastic Man Stacy Augmon and Andre Miller.

 

[blazerkor]

when I think of smooth laid back Blazer players I think of Plastic Man Stacy Augmon and Andre Miller.

Shaedon is just so much more talented offensively than Augmon ever was and he's worlds more athletically gifted than Andre.

We can all hope any of the young players on our team develop the understanding for how to be most effective that Andre Miller had.

 

[Cugel]

Shae made that look easy. Sheesh

Clingan is the new scapegoat...the 2025 vessel for ridiculous expectations and myopic notions about impact

but what makes it really nuts are suggestions to give Yang minutes that Clingan gets.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Shae has stepped up a level. His hard work over the summer is starting to show.
Great to see a healthy Williams. He and Clingan make a nice center duo.
Murray with another solid game. Doing a lot of things that don't always show up in the box score.
