Game Thread Game #4 BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - OCTOBER 27, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM, ESPN, ROOT SPORTS

You said that last year and he ended up at 39% which is above his career average. Could be injured or could be variance. Dame’s 3’s have been improving with age all the way up to last year.

 

It all looks and feels so flat. No energy in the building here tonight.

 

Serious question. How many years until we see Steven A. Smith have a heart attack live on set?

 

Yes he really blown his assignment on the 2-3

 

Theres just no energy

 

Upper levels are empty, and that is usually the heart and soul of the arena. I’m in the lower bowl and the amount of empty seats is staggering.

 

I can’t see why Covington should play 17 minutes and Nance 7. Feels like it should be other way around.

 

Nurk needs to be benched. Dude is going up so soft with his shots

 

Dame, Ant, Nas, Nance, Nurk. Feel like this is something we should be trying.

 

He has zero lift. Not sure if it’s the leg that he broke or just his pussy soft mindset. Get him the fuck outta here. No way he deserves anything more than a minimum contract at this point. The game has passed dinosaurs like him by.

 

I disagree I think the effort is there guys are just getting lost on rotations over committing on run outs to shooters. We will eventually settle down defensively this is exactly what I expected to start the season. This is the first time in years some of these guys have played a real defense.


Offensively I really like what I see few to many turnovers but I can’t remember the last time I saw Dame and CJ shoot so many wide open 3’s. Only thing I hate so far is giving up so many offensive rebounds again guys out of position scrambling that will fix itself!

 

It was a joke. Every time I see him my blood pressure just goes up, I can only imagine his is through the roof.

 

So far throughout this season: Nance/Zeller > RoCo/Nurk

 

the crowd has been behind the Blazers for years, but the rinse-repeat nature of the team every year means the team is going to have to give the crowd a reason for energy.

 

And it's not close. Add Ant>Dame while youre at it

 

CoVid is playing a huge part.

that said, if the blazers start playing well and winning people will return. The team is not giving people a reason to be optimistic with the number of forced turnovers, blown layups, and missed wide open 3s.

 

Since preseason the number of blown layups, missed open 3s and turnovers have been staggering. Surely some of the threes start falling. Same with the layups. Our offense should not be THIS bad.

 

No confidence in team yet, once the team turns things around things will go back to normal and Moda center will be rocking
