[inconceivable]

Sharpe will score 33 next game

We didn't play well. We shit the bed.

Just need to make shots. That's a problem anybody can solve.

Clippers Postgame Brent Barry: Blazers are a fun team to watch, they play hard and plays defense but the one thing they're missing is that GO TO GUY.

 

[BBert]

Okay, that is funny.

That's hilarious since he allegedly did it when he worked for the Clippers

 

[Phatguysrule]

Without Deni tonight we get blown out. Sharpe really needs to step up his offensive game. He needs to be that guy.

Sharpe knows this. And he's trying. It'll come. He's forcing it right now.

Pathetic

Is it though? To compete damn well for most of the game against a better team on the road without a go to guy or any type of shooters on this roster? I’m proud of these dudes. Have been in all three games.
I’ll say it again…..we WILL be better than last years team and be MUCH more competitive than last years team. We simply won’t win more games. West is TOO deep. That’s nothing to be ashamed of in my opinion.
I have been absolutely blown away at our defensive on the ball pressure this week. Very excited for the future for the first time in forever.

 

[THE HCP]

Beat the Lakers without Luka then Utah

they don’t have Luka or LeBron……. No problem. they got HillyBilly Kobe!

 

[Phatguysrule]

I hate agreeing with Chad, but he's absolutely right.

Sharpe's shot looks fine to me. And it's right on line. Just short or flat. Which leads ne to believe he's adjusting.

He'll be fine. Will he be a Star? Not sure. But if he stays aggressive he'll be very good.

I agree with Tiago, Shaedon is going to be fine. We've all seen him knock down shots at a much more efficient rate than he has been... it's just a slump and it's unfortunate for him it's happening at the beginning of the season.

I will say this, I don't really care about wins and losses this season. I'm just really excited with how well our guys are playing on defense and they're getting good looks on offense. It's a fun brand of basketball to watch and it should translate to winning in the future but the majority of these guys have to learn how to close out games and it's not going to happen over night.

* for the 'season' now Sharpe is shooting 20.8% on three's....but he's averaging 8 attempts a game. No other Blazer is averaging more than 6. This is backassward shot selection. Sharpe has no record of good perimeter shooting. The only thing he's established from three is this:

2022-23 - 3.5 attempts-->36.0%
2023-24 - 5.5 attempts-->33.3%
2024-25 - 6.6 attempts-->31.1%
2025-26 - 8.0 attempts-->20.8%

that's correct....the more he shoots, the worse he shoots. Coaches need to see if the trend reverses if he shoots less, a lot less. He's not some great shooter trying to climb out of a slump, unless the slump has lasted over 106 games

* Yang's token 5-6 minutes a game seem kind of pointless to me. Blazers played 20 minutes of small-ball against a team that played Zubac/Lopez 48 combined minutes. And the coach who called for that is a former NBA C. Yang is mostly unplayable. Try Duop or waive him and find a backup C the coach might have some confidence in

* Blazers have had 2 games when they shot poorly; 1 when they shot well. I suspect that's going to be normal but hope it isn't

Sharpe will score 33 next game

Hopefully.

Of course, that's what Nurk would do, too. He'd have one great game, one awful game and two mid games in every four games. You never knew when it was going to happen.

I'd be happier without the occasional 33-point game to have a Shaedon that was consistently scoring 22-23 on 18 or fewer shots with two turnovers or less per night.

 

[PCmor7]

they don’t have Luka or LeBron……. No problem. they got HillyBilly Kobe!

He reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg on "South Park."
