Game Thread 2022-23 Game #26 - BLAZERS VS TIMBERWOLVES - DECEMBER 10, 2022 - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Naw, our bench needs help

 

we won the game, thats a good part, but if keep playing like that, were gonna end up in the play-in and anything can happen there

chauncey billups has spoken about offense and defense a lot, but im not seeing anything of it being implemented, its the same old, the only difference is that we have a new head coach and ant instead of cj mccollum

"my turn, your turn", one on one is NOT how you should play bball, few games ago dame said it takes team/collective to win and then he and ant came out and absolutely privatized the game

either theyre stupid and not realizing that you cant win playing like that or theyre just dont give a fuck and keep on doing whatever they want cause they can

legacy thing has ruined bball, players dont play to win, they play for their legacy, they want to get "theirs" and theyre happy, win or lose

 

Nice to get a win, Rip City!

 

Think it had more to do with drew having to leave the game. If you have Nurk in there they kind of need Dame as well.

 

So it can't be that the other teams have looked at what the Blazers have as far as players and have scouted their talent and know what works and doesn't work against them?

It has to be that they are "Stupid" and or "Don't give a fuck" and the current state of the Players involved is all about "legacy" and them getting theirs.

 

My opinion on this is this team needs to continue to work on things that can help defensively. Yes adding Payton will help a bit.
I'm hoping they are looking at options to add some Length/Height. This team is playing small. Seems to me like teams have figured out how to score on the Blazers taking advantage of the size.
I saw some good things by Sharp last night. He is doing some things better on defense and he is seeing his opportunities. Kind of think the other players around him have seen some opportunities as well.

 

Loved what I am seeing out of Eubanks. Just flat out works his ass off! Wish he was 4 inches taller is all.

 

You keep saying that over and the over. Every win counts the same so yes, the standings mean something. You can’t be in 10th all season and the jump to 1st in the last month of the season.

 

Teams that won playing your turn, my turn:

Miami Heat 2010-14, won 2 titles
OKC 2012- NBA Finals
Cleveland 2016- won the title
Houston 2018- best record, WCF
Boston 2022- NBA Finals

 

Things Mrs HCP said for 500 Alex.

 

Go Beavs!!

 

The way the West is shaping up this year, it might actually be possible.

 

We lost games without our best player. I hate to be mean but "so?"

 

You just wake up from a 4 day nap?

 

No there will be separation by February.

 

This is such a great post in so many ways.
