Game Thread Game #62 - BLAZERS @ SUNS - MARCH 2, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ESPN

i dont like building bad habits. josh hart looks so annoyed with all this.

 

?

this active roster has 2 definitive NBA players.

dame has never played on a team this bad and he played with Luke Babbitt and Sasha Pavlovic his rookie year.

 

Watford might screw around and get a triple-double one of these nights.

 

I wasn't talking about teammates. I was talking about opposing defenses selling out to stop Dame. And that Ant is getting a taste of that

 

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Suns 120, Blazers 90
Portland gets blown out for the 3rd consecutive game and it looks like wins will be hard to come by the rest of the year. Come join us and talk some hoops!

 

I don’t think Dame has even faced a box-and-1 in his NBA career.

 

I don’t think this is building bad habits. Building bad habits is what Dame and CJ did on the defensive end for years. This is just young guys playing that are lacking high talent and experience facing superior talent and experience.

 

He should have an ailment. He's more important than Winslow.

 

First half was fun.

 

We won't win any games with this squad. The Rockets took Utah into overtime before losing and the OKC Thunder beat the Nuggets in Denver by 12 points. The Rockets are the worst team on the Blazer schedule.

 

I think that's fine because on March 20th he needs to be having "some back tightness".

 

The Blazers could end up with the 4th spot. Portland loses all the rest of their games and if Oklahoma City wins five more games Oklahoma City would have the same number of wins as Portland and win the tiebreaker.
Luckily for Portland we play OKC twice more this season. We have already lost twice to them.

 

What happened to Ant after 11 straight points. Did Chauncey told him not to shoot anymore?

 

Williams looks like a nice little find. No way he’s 6’2 though lol

Keon struggled with his shot but Portland outscored Phoenix with him on the court. Gotta remember he’s a rookie, hasn’t played in a month, and is on a new team. And he’s three years younger than Ant.

Elijah and CJ both look rough tbh. If Hughes can’t knock down shots his value is limited. At least CJ can do some other stuff. Neither look like they should be on an active NBA roster though. I’m more sure of it with CJ than Hughes, just because Hughes is new. At best I’d give one of them a two way, but at this point I’d take a swing with a second rounder at someone else for the active roster.

Watford has really improved his FT shooting. In the first half of the season he was below 70%, just like in college. In the last eleven games he is above 80%. He also knocked down multiple threes tonight. That’s intriguing because he does everything else pretty well, especially for a power forward. If Watford and Brown keep progressing, I think I’d be ok with Winslow as the starting four.

 

No, he missed a couple of floaters after that but the Suns were not about letting him get off tonight.

 

Advanced scouting for the win…..er loss

Thank God

 

So probably not gonna make it the next 2-3 years?

 

this team is not a contender

 

He just needs to keep letting his young teammates know what he is annoyed about.
