I could get behind that second unit.

Whiteside

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It seems like this team still has the problem of: when things are not going their way, they guards (and Mel0) just abandon the offense and start chucking up random shots to try and get back into the game.

Unless maybe they think that is their normal offense?

 

[BigGameDamian]

The bench is comical. Hezonja and Simons so bad lol

Ya the bench is going to hurt us in the playoffs if we make it.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Jaylen Adamns to the rescue

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We got this

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Why we take our Mario?

My guy Naz Long getting some run!

Naz Mitrou-Long, he went to Iowa State, same as me, so a big fan.

Where are the stats for this game? Just curious how many FT the blazers have taken and how many they missed? Seems like they are missing a lot.

 

[Labinot41]

Sinons is 1/9 FG and 0/5 from 3. Get him of the team asap

 

[trailblazer18]

An all-time Naz moment. 3 OT game vs OK State.

17/20

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I thought Hoard was going to make that.

 

[Chris Craig]

That sucks

 

[trailblazer18]

That got my heart pumping! Haven't had that feeling for a while.

 

[TBpup]

Some brief observations:

Nurk looked good.
Collins also looked good. (Both of those are huge)
Dame,CJ & Ant - 7/25
IND - 13/33 from '3'
POR - 5/26 from '3'.
Same problems guarding the '3'.
CJ/Ant - zip, zero nadda assists.
Hezonja was a surprise on offense.
Gabriel is nasty on defense.

That review of Mario's three came way too late - you can't be changing the score several minutes later when there's 1:03 left - that would have changed your strategy.

 

[James lamphear]

Well the 1st play a good 1st but the 3rd premieter defense wasn't good and the offense wasn't much better. But it a practice game so I am not much worry. The players stand today was Nurk Mario Gabriel Trent.

I was quite surprised they bothered with a review like that in this kind of game.

Ya the bench is going to hurt us in the playoffs if we make it.

the bench of Trent and Whiteside? Because no one else is gonna play enough to make an impact one way or another.

 

[Mediocre Man]

What a complete tumble downhill from mike and mike.

Nurk looked good

Collins looked meh

 

[KSF-ERIC]

the bench of Trent and Whiteside? Because no one else is gonna play enough to make an impact one way or another.

Simons will probably play.

 

[Scalma]

Simons will probably play.

I’d bet he won’t.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

No Hood, Ariza, Swanigan, Little, and Whiteside. Can’t expect to win with that many people out of the lineup.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I’d bet he won’t.

We’ll see.

 

[tykendo]

Mario played well. Get off his back. He's making strides. Ant, not so much. His whole game was hideous. But it's practice. Nurk looked so damn good. Again, whether we lost or won, this is a practice scrimmage or exhibition. Don't get too high or low on any of these games. Melo with some quality minutes as well. Zach with some quality minutes. Good to see hoops again.

 

[DDolla]

What happened to Simons? He should be the best player for our 2nd unit.

 

[Scalma]

Nothing happened. He still isn’t ready.

 

[Scalma]

Whiteside

maybe, maybe not
