Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #2 - BLAZERS VS WARRIORS - FRIDAY - OCTOBER 24, 2025 - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Yeah I feel like Sharpe seems to be pressing a bit early this season, maybe its the contract, maybe its the higher expectations.... I expect him to balance out... it's a long season.

 

[Strenuus]

I have that poster on ignore and it’s been great

So have I. I offer nothing, they offer less than nothing.

I know a lot of people don’t like Sharpe taking some of these shots but I love it. Be confident even when the shots not falling, we all complained about him being passive in the past. We can’t have it both ways, be ok when he makes it and be upset when he misses. I’ll take aggressive Sharpe and live with the misses. Eventually his talent will shine through and those misses will be makes.

Agree 100%!

Get him reps at those spots and work on his form if needed. But at all costs...
KEEP
HIM
AGGRESSIVE!

I like the hustle Wesley has shown - but I have to think we improve when his minutes go to Scoot instead.

I think we will lose a little defensively when Scoot comes back. Wesley goes 100% the whole time he is on the floor. But offensively, I think Scoot will be a little more in control. It might take a few games but once Scoot is 100% the team will be better.

I fucking love the way he handles all the loaded questions.

Warriors will fade in the 2nd half.

Called it.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Agree for most part but his shot selection has to improve.

I think it will improve as he gets more used to being so aggressive.

Isn't Deni reminding you of Manu? Ginobili is a fantastic player and Deni's play reminds me of him.

Does anyone know how the pick we traded form him turned out?

Bub Carrington is starting for the Wizards... and despite that he is pretty good. Then there's the middle pick of ours, Boston's and Minny's FRPs in 2029.

Bub doesn't look like an all star and we still have a pick before and after the one we owe them in 2029. So yeah, Deni is still looking like a huge steal, after I was so quick to say it was an overpay. Glad to be wrong.

We traded two. One has been used on Bub Carrington. Meh. The deal has been a resounding success so far.

I really liked the "In two months I'll probably have a better answer for you" statement. He ain't wrong. Obviously a very sharp guy.
It's kind of funny because just like him I had no idea he would be the head coach at this point. Pretty sure most fans would say the same.

Not really, Deni is much more of a speed, bully ball kind of player, Manu was more slithery and frankly, a much better ball handler / passer. Deni reminds me a lot of a smaller sized Giannis with a 3-pt shot. Both love to just run down and play bully ball, Deni mostly using his speed, Giannis his size and strides.

Deni's game is a lot like LeBron's younger game without the strength, or maybe Wilt Chamberlain's without the height.
