Live by the three die by the three. 3/19

 

[Chris Craig]

Maddening, ain't it?

Though I think they're down enough players that they almost have to be perfect to compete, and throw in the fact that Detroit is a much better team and the teams bad shooting has definitely made a huge difference tonight.

Detroit is good. They aren't missing any integral players. We are missing several. Not a fair game.

And, yes it's maddening. All these missed threes, many short or even air balls. Thee guys are so gassed. We don't have enough players.

 

[julius]

One thing I wish they'd do on the broadcast, any time they have a ceremony to celebrate a team or a player, show that instead of the halftime show.

 

[BBert]

Even more funnier fact……. He wasn’t gonna play at Grant because of my dog Terrell Brandon, so he bitched out and went to Wilson.

Then he bitched out and went to Arizona.

 

[riverman]

free throw coach, free throw coach, free throw coach! shooting coach while we're at it. Has Rupert made a bucket this season?

I don't know if having a full docket of players would've have necessarily meant a win tonight, but the not having a real PG is really being highlighted in games like todays.

I gotta figure out who I want to blame for tonight's game. I'm going with Trader Bob.

 

[PCmor7]

Wasn't expecting to win this without Grant. Just looking for developmental positives tonight.

Blazers would need to play close to perfect, but shooting 3-for-19 from 3 in the first half, missing six free throws and turning it over nine times isn't going to get it done. Being only down 10 and hanging in single digits much of the half is actually pretty remarkable.

 

[riverman]

Our third string is a black hole tonight and our starters aren't far behind

It would be a lot better game

Rupert looked lost on the floor both on offense and defense

It is pretty remarkable considering how many players we are missing. I just want to see ya shoot better and play with more energy on defense. It's a hard ask though being so shorthanded.

Rupert had 14 points in that loss to New Orleans

 

[julius]

Even more funnier fact……. He wasn’t gonna play at Grant because of my dog Terrell Brandon, so he bitched out and went to Wilson.

That's kind of understandable, he was (iirc) 2 years younger than him, So he'd be a backup for 2 years and then a starter for 2, vs being a starter (?) for all four years at Wilson.

 

[PCmor7]

Yeah, and shooting is not something we do consistently. I can accept it right now if we are moving the ball well and missing good shots. There's just no depth and no shooters. Can't get blood from a stone, so I'm focused on good play from the areas that aren't dependent on who we're missing.

So they played him against the worst team in the league and the Blazers lost. Is that the point here?

No. The point is he had a decent game.

 

[Irish Trader]

Duren at 22 and 6’10” is very fast and quick. He is going to dominate in the future. Shocking for his size at 250lbs he is that quick

 

[julius]

They came out of the half flat.

At least they have a game tomorrow so we can forget about this crap-fest.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Rupert = Tony Snell

Yikes.

 

[blazerkor]

Our guys are competing hard out there but they are playing...

 

[Cugel]

Toumani and Kris combine for two rebounds. The second game in a row where Rupert is 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 but one pf. So much for the 3 and D wings.

 

[Irish Trader]

4/25 for threes miserable

 

[Cugel]

Why not give some other Remix a chance? You honestly can’t do any worse than what Kris, Rupert, Love, and Reath are giving you.

 

[blazerkor]

I wish we would dump Love and being in a different two way PG. Dude goes 1 on 5 two plays in a row with Shaedon on the court with him. SMH.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wasn't watching the game and just checked the box score.

Dame has not played. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

[blazerkor]

Down 17, if our starters don't come out to start this fourth quarter and give us one last push at this win then I'll be pretty pissed off,

Dame has not played. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I thought we were having an early Christmas Miracle!

 

[blazerkor]

This is the right lineup to give it one last try.

4/25 for threes miserable

Correction 4/27 time to spend my time in some productive activity 15%
