Game Thread 2022-23 Game #20 BLAZERS @ NETS - NOVEMBER 27, 2002 - SUNDAY - 12:00 PM (PDT) BENCH

Sharpe is a lot better than Walker this moment? Walker must be awful if that's the case but I'd still like to see him get some court time.

 

Whatever the idea was on offense by Billups it was Mickey Mouse.

 

cronin said earlier that this is a work in a progress to get a team and they've been considering it.

 

you're full of shit....I never said what you're claiming I said

did I blame Simons for the loss or did I just make an off-hand remark about point spread? I don't expect Simons to outplay Durant or Kyrie, but he should be able to at least come close to Curry. There were plenty of reasons for the loss, including Dame in street clothes

 

if you are a team that can't acknowledge who your best player is during a specific game, then you are going to have a tough time winning. That's what the Blazers were today.
Because there is no one best player right now on offense.

 

off hand remark or a really dumbass attempt at being snarky?

not sure how one can claim that was an "off hand" comment while doubling down...

cuz it's a 1 on 1 game? dude guarded Curry on like 1 possession while Ant was facing traps and physicality all game. No doubt he seemed really out of it tonight, but he's far from the reason we lost to a far superior roster.

 

Nets win by 14; Durant outscores Nurkic by 14....is it that simple?


lol

 

We are almost there in regards to chasing the Lakers record for the 10th spot

 

I wish the Blazers had someone like Curry coming off the bench to provide offense. 5 or the last 6 games the other team has had someone off the bench score big, The Blazers have one game where Sharpe did, other then that it is not much production off the bench. The Blazers need to upgrade the scoring off the bench. It is hard when you are getting hardly any production off your bench.

 

you're working way too hard at this and you need to work on your Matlock act

Simons had a bad game. It's actually acceptable to comment on that in the game thread

 

Tough road trip. So are we still rolling with the whole….” The vets are freezing out Sharpe/he should be starting” thing? Just curious….
Well on a bright note, we fly out of PDX in 50 hours for LAX and are still in NYC and have a game in between. So there’s that FAMS!

 

Luckily the team we play doesn’t have a bench like us. #BAM

 

I would gladly introduce you to Jerami Grant.
He is a offensive stud, and Portland was looking for him, and he was being very aggressive.
And, on any given night, Anfernee is an offensive explosion.
I just believe JG ran outta gas. The whole team looked spent at the end.

 

Nurkic took 4 times (8) the free throws of Grant (2) on half the shot attempts (12 vs 24).
Nurkic was clearly the bigger problem for Brooklyn.
That he only had 12 shot attempts shows how little emphasis Billups puts in his offense to getting Nurkic the ball.
We'd see Simons dribbling for no reason at the 3-point line, when the ball could have been moving around for a good entry pass to Nurkic.

 

starting unit has enough talent on offense to be playing like this, but even with dame, our offense isnt looking pretty

not sure who calls plays on offense, but whoever it is, he must do a better job, offense needs to look fluent

 

Ah well - things are back to normal. Once again the Gutter-Balls almost convinced me they were worth giving a shit about. Shame on me!

Peace out!

 

Link?

 

When posters can't raise the most legit concerns without being targeted, what do you expect?

 

Good riddance.
