Game Thread 2022-23 Game #40 - BLAZERS VS MAGIC - JANUARY 10, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT)

Two games in and I can already confidently say GP is the best perimeter defender we have had since Wes Matthews.

 

I too, am confused why we have gone completely away from it.

 

We need a Mo Wagner.

 

Maybe Billups, like a lot of people around here, thought the equal opportunity offense with more ball movement would be better.

If I were the opposing coach, I would prefer the ball be out of Dame's hands more often than not as well.

 

well it’s one thing to do it less, but it feels like it’s completely out of our offense

 

holy dame

 

We’ve gotta get some offensive rebounds!
They are just standing & watching after shots.

 

Amazing how many times lately I'm saying to myself: "Let's just get it under ten by the end of the quarter."

 

The only hope here is Orlando is bad enough to cough this up.

 

After the shot by Lillard, he has two of eight on threes

 

That needs to be the case so that in the Playoffs, coaches can't just scheme to get the ball out of Dame's hands and all of a sudden players who haven't shot much all year, are asked to be much bigger contributors when there is even more pressure on. If Dame/Ant are shooting even halfway decent, the Blazers are winning many of these recent games where they lost.

 

True... though when we were doing it a lot, we were a top 5 offense most years. In a perfect world, we'd be good both ways!

 

Historically, quite likely.

 

he certainly gets away with more handchecking than anyone else in recent history. let's see how long that lasts and he gets whistled for more ticky tack shit

 

Lillard no.
Offense yes.

 

I could see at half court Josh had decided to go all the way.
