Well, hopefully the Blazers play better tonight.

 

[THE HCP]

8pm national game last night……
1 hour de-icing on the tarmac……
45 minute drive from airport to hotel…..
Head hit the pillow about 4:45am…..
@THE HCP is tired FAMS

 

[noknobs]

Deni's available

 

[crandc]

Make your free throws!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Rupert having a good night, especially defensively.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

....is Rupert our best player? What am I watching?

 

[Irish Trader]

Is this the same Rupert that played last night?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Actually looked like a perfect pass from Yang for Camara; I thought he even signaled what he was going to do...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yang didn't always have those scratches did he? I thought he got them from Jokic - but that was WEEKS ago. He's a slow healer!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He passed into space, like you're supposed to.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I hereby fully endorse George's excellent 'fro. If you've got it, flaunt it

 

[Cugel]

Steven Adam’s love tap

 

[Irish Trader]

Holiday having a sloppy game to many blazer turnovers

 

[Cugel]

Too many fucking turnovers. It’s like Pepperidge Farms out there

 

[Irish Trader]

Sarr has improved greatly since last year. Looks like he will be a very good player. Can we make a trade like Deni with Washington for Sarr.

 

[Chris Craig]

Clingan can be such a wuss

 

[blazerfan11]

Do the Blazers have dumb (edit: unaware) players, specifically in regards to cutting?

Here, Camara is looking right at Hansen who we know will pass the ball. There's nobody defending the hoop. All Camara has to do is cut to the hoop.
Hansen might have looked bad throwing a pass to nobody, but what it really showed was a lack of BBIQ.
It makes me wonder if they watch their own games? What should happen seems so obvious.

 

[Irish Trader]

60 points way to many points to give up to this team. Need better defense in second half. We should win this game on the schedule.

 

[twobullz]

Wow 4-12 from the FT line. What is going on.

I'm kind of disappointed that it hasn't been mentioned on the broadcast that Kyshawn George's dad and I are college friends and that he had dinner at my house a couple of times. Maybe I missed it.

 

[Irish Trader]

 

[PCmor7]

Nice to see Rayan have a few really good minutes.

I really like Sarr. He's becoming the player I thought he might be before he was drafted. With him, Kyshawn and Tre Johnson, the Wizards look like they'll be coming out of the tunnel soon. Should add another good piece to that core this offseason.

Got to get it going in the 2H. Too many turnovers.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

24 FGA for Sarr

Goddamn

 

[PCmor7]

Game being played in front of a small circle of friends.

Sometimes I feel like I must be the only one here who sees a future for Rupert. Billups somehow made him a worse player than when he got here. Getting minutes under Splitter has allowed Rupert to improve from worthless to showing the potential he had when we got him. I don't moan about Rupert's mistakes because that's how he's going to learn, and most are simply lack of experience and lack of confidence. With his rapid rate of improvement since the beginning of the season I'd be inclined to keep Rupert over Murray, and I'm one who appreciates Murray (just not his shooting).
