Game Thread 2022-23 PRESEASON GAME #3 - BLAZERS VS MACCABI RAANANA - OCTOBER 6, 2022 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT)

Just looked and saw we won’t tonight against a middle school B team. Was at my daughter’s soccer game…. Going to go read this game thread. This should be fun.

 

Bump

 

Now that you've been snubbed by all the new guys and rookies have you figured out who the 7ft French big guy is? Check him out...he's pretty good!

 

Wow not against the best comp but
Just watched Sharpe highlights and he reminds me of Broys game but with more athleticism

 

He was never that great from the start as I always said. I see why ppl were intrigued by him but he ain’t nothing to keep around or anything

 

That is so badass.

 

See it's not hopeful or realistic. It's just that his combination of physical talents, skills and bag of tricks on both ends of the floor only comes to summation with MJ and Kobe but he would have to be an absolute insane monster to push it to that level. I guess he could easily be a smaller PG13... that's probably more realistic but he just has this quality about how he goes and gets it when he believes in himself that is special on that insane level.

 

Dude I get what you're saying but like we all do you're making huge exaggerations. Just look at the names on the team that Shaedon did this against and you will hopefully understand (unless you spend so much time looking and cutting Blazers highlights that you don't know who the role players around the league are) that this is a team full of guys who have played meaningful minutes in the NBA and younger guys who are beating them out for minutes. So they aren't a JC team or a middle school B team. They're better than any team he would have faced in Summer League and he did it without Dame, Jerami, Ant or Nurk taking the concentration of the defense off of him.

You're on record saying that this guy can't be good this season and you're also historically stubborn when you take stances like that. So of course you minimize just how good he was tonight without even fucking watching what he did. Watch the fucking game. See all of the tools this guy is working with... try for once to not think your original opinion is absolutely correct and then see if you get a little excited about the things that Shaedon Sharpe has that no one else on this roster has on both ends of the court.

Fucking coming in here with a shit eating grin proclaiming your predictions to be correct without seeing what everyone is responding to or being aware of the context should be below you.

 

I’m paying $99 for the entire league FAMS.

 

How did Walker end up with 12 and 7 lol. I missed the 4th but he had like 5/3 when I left.

 

Who are you again?

 

Son, I have a family and priorities, of course I’m not going to watch this game. And I love that I’m so up in your dome, you continue to cuss at me. I didn’t think of you or this team all night, but @THE HCP obviously was on your mind.

 

B Roy with Clyde's bounce

 

He added 7 and 4. Kid looks good.

 

Well he pretty much did. 27 pts in 23 minutes and made it look easy, got to the rim at will.
The negative was 3pt shot still wasn't falling.

 

Nas still pretty underwhelming but had some good strong takes to the rim.

Sarr looks better than Eubanks so he should at least be running away with that 2-way spot and be a consideration for backup 5 minutes if Watford doesn't works there

 

Wow, biggest win of the season lol!

 

Sucks it wasn’t on TV so I couldn’t dvr it. I want to watch a blazers win and see Sharpe!

 

I disagree about Hart, but even if he had been, he'd kind of have an excuse for not looking amazing in pre-season as a vet. Nas has to prove himself (YET AGAIN) and just isn't. But he'll be injured in a couple of weeks, anyway...

 

Well, duh. But that's because no game means anything and all existence is a cruel joke perpetrated by a bored deity with a sick sense of humor.
