Game Thread 2022-23 Game #31 - BLAZERS @ THUNDER - DECEMBER 19, 2022 - MONDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Such a reach, but maybe I shouldn't expect better. Please let me know what "agenda driven BS" you are referring to.

 

From now on I’m Advocating for a complete rebuild

 

Yeah. You have to deny him the ball.

 

Thanks for expressing your thought process in your counter-argument, I appreciate the dialogue and you bring up great points.

 

You made a nonsensical comment based on what actually happened in the game and then doubled down on it when you were called out. So you were either

1.) Not actually watching the game

or

2.) Not actually watching what happened

 

That's not on Winslow.
That's disrespect by the Blazers/Billups of how good SGA is.

 

I don't understand the defense at the end.
There's got to be some inbounding Defense that set up to deny one player the ball.

 

Appreciate that. Dame is an incredible player but seemingly for some posters, any reasonable conversation where Dame isn't undebatable greatest is met with 'hater' or 'agenda'. It's opinions on a chat forum. I appreciate any open minded discussion and am open to change my mind if someone brings up a great point.

 

Eubanks was certainly in position to double right off the inbound, but it didn't appear to be the strategy. He can't leave unless his teammates behind are prepared for it.

 

.......ah, never mind. Wrong on both accounts, and won't waste my time further with someone who seems both emotional about it....and dead wrong in some of their responses. Feel free to repy, but I won't be able to see your posts for a while if that helps. Not worth wasting time on.

 

This game was lost before it started. The team decided to rest Nurk thinking they could win it without him. However this OKC team is a feisty well-coached team that just pounded the Grizzlies. Teams have been taking them lightly and overlooking them.

 

It looked like the ball was intended for Lillard and he didn't know

 

Sitting Nurk definitely set the wrong tone. Awful, awful loss and now we get to wait around for two days to watch this game again.

 

SGA would get a good shot off against one defender no matter which Trail Blazer it was.
Who would you have preferred?
The game was tied. You can't commit a foul.

 

We need a LOT more of these if we're going to get a shot at Wembanyama!

 

Give me the direction okc is doing

 

Yeah I think it's clear he's not capable of carrying us to the 'ship on his own (very, very few people would be, if any) but the record is amazing and will be remembered much longer than some road-win/loss in an otherwise forgettable season.

 

Funny how he didn't say anything close to insulting let alone personal, he just disagrees with you that Dame isn't one of the 5 best defenders on the club. Way over the top response to something highly debatable.

Lots of blame to spread around for the finish in this one. Hell by the time Dame collided with Hart he'd already both charged and traveled. I'm guessing they're properly pissed about their collective meltdown and will come out focused next time.

STOMP

 

5 games this team gave away … smh

 

I think it's fair for people to think Walton or Clyde are the greatest; especially if they heavily weigh team success in factoring how good an individual is.

For me, Dame is a clear #1, but that doesn't make my opinion any more right/wrong than yours.
