Game Thread 2022-23 Game #20 BLAZERS @ NETS - NOVEMBER 27, 2002 - SUNDAY - 12:00 PM (PDT) BENCH

With Lillard out we just don’t have enough shooting in a shooters league.

 

They had 3 guys on him near the hoop so it was obvious to anyone except our team and coach.

 

We need Dame and GP2

 

Brooklyn Nets are a solid team.
Blazers did seem to run out of gas a bit.

 

We are actually losing these ugly games splitting free throws as much as anything else

 

Too much time in a city like New York will do that to you. They looked like they had no energy down the stretch.

 

Clips on Tuesday...
Back on track.

 

Don’t fall for the drama.

 

In a game like this where the trailblazers don't look immediately to throw the ball into Nurkic they're just giving the defense a huge break. Which they did all night long gave the Brooklyn Nets defense a huge break.

 

lol @ the notion of some comment in a PC affecting him. doubt shaedon even knows what chauncey said.

he's a 19 yr old rookie and defenses are realizing who he is. he has 0 counters right now cuz all he does is sit in the corner. he'll be fine. i think GP2 will take all his minutes when he returns.

 

GP2 is never coming.

 

When they get tired free throws are quite often the first thing that goes.
This is why I think Lillard is so valuable on the road. He is a greater FT shooter and he gets calls .

 

agreed but we made a concerted effort to initiate with Nurk but actions were too slow. we got bogged down.

ant looked completely thrown off his game today with their aggression against him on D.

 

Battled, but some definite issues to work on.

Winslow/Hart either can't or won't shoot but they are the heart and soul of the team so you can't just not have them in there. They are getting nothing off the bench, and Ant is 5th on the team in 3-pt percentage and 8th in eFG%. (Unfortunately, Dame is even worse) They are still small and teams with length, even if they don't have size (like the Nets) are a real problem for them because they have so many shooters.

Still a work in progress and moves will be made before next season. Want to see growth out of Nas, Shae and Watford/Walker when they get minutes.

 

The Blazers need some energy guys on the floor in games like this and I can't figure out why Jabari Walker is getting no playing time.

Nassir little has dialed it back in the energy department.

 

Nets win by 14; Curry outscores Simons by 14....is it that simple?

 

Need to look to get him the ball immediately, instead of Simons dribbling time off the clock.

Blazers were successful getting Nurk the ball when they rotated it but I guess too lazy to keep doing that.
