Game Thread 2022-23 Game #13 BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - NOVEMBER 12, 2022 - SATURDAY - 5:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

These injuries are messing with our chemistry. We need Nurk and Sharpe back.

 

good teams find ways to win. going with Portland on this one

 

"Keep 'em guessing Billups."
Even for our own players and fans.

 

Depends on what type of player we're adding.
How would it be difficult to add a player who is mainly defensive and can defend multiple positions well?

 

This is a good point. Most of us thought that they would start off slow because of all the new additions and the lack of chemistry.
They have won despite the injuries but I do think the number of turnovers (along with the pace) is the result of the lack of a consistent rotation. Hopefully, we can get healthier and settle into one.

 

Coach will figure it out. I would understand your point if we were trading for someone and throwing them in immediately. That would mess with chemistry. GP has been with the team though. You went to the movies with them last night, was he not part of that?

 

I think a lot of the turnovers were a result of trying to play at a faster pace leading to some horrible passes by our guards.
If you are passing across court and Jimmy Butler is waiting to pick it off that's just a horrible decision no matter your chemistry.
It's a lack of awareness of who you're playing against.

 

Playing Luka coming off 2 losses doesn’t seem good. I feel like Nurk woulda had a monster rebound game tonight so it sucks he’s still out.

 

They were also very predictable with their passes. Like oh they’re running this one again, this where they pass to Grant next etc…

The scouts have these guys watching game film looking for things like that.

 

Let’s go blazers!!!

 

I don't worry about starter chemistry. I worry more about bench experience and readiness.....and these injuries/games off are helping that development....not to mention reducing wear and tear for the late season run!

 

So a massive mid-air collision occurred a few hours ago at a Dallas airshow. Video footage is all over the internet; i don't need to link it.

Super sad as apparently quite a few people might have died.

Wonder if they should just cancel or postpone this game.

 

Damn, that sounds terrible. Moment of silence in the stadium at the very least.

 

yeah, the video of the mid-air collision are definitely a WTF? moment. A B-17 Flying Fortress and some type of fighter plane that cut the B-17 in half

 

from what i read online, apparently civilians paid to ride in the B-17
