Love - Sharpe - Holiday starting the 2nd half well.

 

[ehizzy3]

Is Deni okay?

 

[blazerfan11]

Love throws some beautiful, under-control passes.

 

[blazerkor]

We've played great to start the second half. Now Spo is going to adjust. Hopefully we can take their counter and keep cruising.

 

[PCmor7]

All Shaedon needed was to get Bam switched onto him to get going.

 

[Cugel]

Tou is having a nice game. Good quarter so far.

 

[blazerfan11]

Is Deni okay?

radio guys said he just came out of the locker room and is sitting on the bench. No other details than that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Deni out

 

[B-Roy]

Deni hurt his back again

 

[Chris Craig]

Deni hurt his back again

Yep. Reinjured

 

[Irish Trader]

Be nice if we could keep everyone healthy for more than one game. Be interesting to see with a full crew over a fifteen game span

 

[blazerkor]

Well hopefully our guys can bring this one home without Deni. Fucking sucks that he's injured again. Hopefully the training staff will be able to get him back playing sooner than later.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Can someone please convince Sidy that he's not Shae?

 

[Cugel]

These turnovers are a killer. POR must lead the league in turnovers. Have to pull it together for a few more mins.

 

[Irish Trader]

Nice pass by love he is not a one trick pony

 

[blazerkor]

Great job by Shaedon brushing off that bad first half to really show up in this second half.

 

[MickZagger]

They’re blitzing him with a second defender any time they see he’s about to drive. Hopefully he adjusts in the 2nd half

Great adjustment. He’s looking like an All Star out there.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Can someone please convince Sidy that he's not Shae?

Nah. Let him continue to try things and pushing himself. He's more than earned it.

 

[Irish Trader]

That reverse pivot in the key reminds me of Jordan. That move by Sharp impossible to stop

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Tell me Shae hasn't grown. He's been just awesome after an awful first half. That's impressive for him.

 

[Cugel]

Shae came alive in the second half.

 

[Cugel]

And fuck off back to MIA ya cunts

 

[riverman]

Winning record!

 

[Irish Trader]

Scary part he is only 22

 

[blazerkor]

I can't wait to get Scoot back. This team is so much fun to watch and he will fit in really well with this brand of basketball.

Remains to be seen. He is still somewhat of an unproven commodity

 

[PCmor7]

Heck of a performance, picking it up after Deni got hurt.

Shaedon was amazing. Twenty-four in the 2H. Trending up again. Finding his spots on the floor and his shot and making them. Also with four steals.

 

[PCmor7]

I can't wait to get Scoot back. This team is so much fun to watch and he will fit in really well with this brand of basketball.

Yeah, I expect this team's tempo to find an even higher gear when he's on the floor.

When this team is playing well, it's a really, really fun team to watch. To do what it's done with these injuries is astounding. Is this the deepest Blazer team since the squads Whitsitt assembled?

When everyone is healthy...watch out

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazer injuries have accomplished one positive thing: it has greatly enhanced team depth. I'm halfway inclined to think if Portland can get healthy they might be one of the deepest teams in the league. Probably the deepest Blazer team since 2018-19 but that team didn't have this team's length

did not like seeing Deni strain his back again. Personally, I've suffered back problems for years, and after seeing his initial injury and reading about what he was dealing with afterwards, I did not expect him back before tonight's game, at the earliest. I was really surprised he played Sunday; and he probably shouldn't have

Sharpe had a great 2nd half. 4 steals for the team leader in steals; but ughhh those 6 turnovers
