Game Thread 2023-24 Game #6 - BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 3, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

What a game…took my nephew for his first time ever and he lost his voice cheering so loudly. He said it was the best night he ever had Got him his first hat and he is hooked.
Also…Shae….dang. Wow!!!

 

With a healthy Ant and Scoot. What will be our closing lineup?

 

Effing awesome first game! Maybe print him a poster of that Shaedon block?
Anyway, congrats to both of you.

 

Damian who? Right? RIGHT???

 

I love that the fans are still invested in this team.

 

Yes, I meant the guy that wore it the longest. He really ruined it for the rest.

 

honestly when i think of 11 i think of sergio but i also was heavily following the team then and kinda took a break most of meyer leonards years

 

This winning streak has been fun to watch.

It probably should be noted, the teams we've beat have a combined record of 4-14 (22.2%).

 

But you know what that means?

We're not the worst!

 

I propose Tounami's nickname to be Tsunami.

 

Chauncey probably wants as many early wins as we can get to keep the kids warm when it gets cold during a 12-game losing streak later. Smart move honestly. If the season is meaningless, run the guys full throttle for a bit and see what they can still give you after 40 minutes

 

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player in Shae’s position on the court close out like that to the corner *and* get the block. Hand in the face sure but a full rejection? That’s a rare gift.

 

Yep, we’ve taught kids offense before. We know from experience that the will to play defense is what can’t be taught so easily

 

True!

Though we may wish we were come April!

 

Just gotta be one of the three worst.

 

Fans sounded like playoff intensity tonight. Pretty awesome.

 

I didn't watch some of the end. Did a Griz player actually do a pull-up on the rim after a dunk? Obvious tech, was he awarded one? If so, brutal in a game that went to OT.

 

How are we getting so many foul shots right now?

33 FTA to only 11 FTA against Detroit.

36 FTA to only -13 FTA for Memphis.

So in the last two games we have attempted 69 Free throws to only 24 from our opponents. That's insane.
