Game Thread 2022-23 Game #75 - BLAZERS VS PELICANS - MARCH 27, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

I get another job personally.

 

Scouting report has figured out Sharpe.....they've taken him out of the game ...he has more fouls than shots in the first half.

 

Comes with the territory. They did the same to Dame when he was young, then CJ, then Ant. Trial by fire. This is how he learns.

 

You would think the coach might run a few things to get him some open looks?
Maybe not this coach though?

 

Get a fucking grip dude. Last night he was the second coming of MJ and tonight he's disappointing? He's a 19 year old rookie that has been told or at least aloud to stand in the corner for most of the season. I'm not surprised when he reverts back to it when his teammates aren't getting him involved.

 

If not for Damian Lillard, the refs are doing their best to drive me away from the NBA as entertainment. We really need more "ex players" to become refs because there are some clueless refs to the point star players are willing to take big fines to call them out this season

 

Yeah. If this team is going to be a contender, maybe one or two of these guys other than Sharpe will be on the roster, and they will be at the end of the bench and out of the rotation.

I can't believe I'm going to write this, but I like Knox's game better than Reddish's and I think if he's getting meaningful minutes next year it means we aren't very good. Thybulle can't even make layups; I've come to the opinion that he's a JAG -- as good as he can be in certain situations defensively, his offensive inability makes him a net negative player.

Sharpe is going to need to become a lot more assertive. For all that talent, he plays a Type B game too much of the time ... if you get him out there with a Type A, he might thrive. Then again, he might defer to the Type A guy all the time, too.

 

It's like the people posting on here are as inconsistent as you can expect a 19 year old to be.

 

I don't think it's overreacting to see that a team has game planned for a rookie and locked him up. Yeah...when the Pelicans stifled Dame they locked him up too...that's my whole point. "good lord this place? lighten up....it's a game, Feel free to talk about it even in "this place"

 

Tend to agree. Nobody else out there is making anything so they can make much else happen. Keon certainly didn’t run the offense any better than Archie did.

 

I'd hire you.

 

Michael Holton made the same claim but he's paid to...I'm just in the cheap seats.

 

For those of you who were talking about how ugly last night's game was... what do you think of what we just witnessed in this first half?

 

Not as a coach. I would suck.

 

Seems like that second layer of armor on the tank slowed it down a bit.
