Game Thread 2022-23 Game #56 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER- FEBRUARY 10, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Who said it was all Dame's fault? I hope you're being compensated for all your sensitivity.

 

I understand you want to frame my feelings different than the reality. I don't think we ever saw Stotts coaching a roster that was near a championship roster, so I don't agree the we knew Stotts couldn't take a team that far.

Becoming a franchise that has new coaches every couple years is not a great way to attract and build a championship roster.

Also of note, I don't think Billups is the main reason we're not very good.

 

Bingo

 

That damn Ainge! Wait til he does that with Utah. Except with even more picks at his disposal

 

Great question. I think in the case of Mazzula, the groundwork had already been laid by Udoka. Same with Luke Walton and Steve Kerr.

 

Ground work or great roster. Insert Stotts, Billups, Mo Cheeks. I still think that team is a top team in the East

 

Wow good for u king..

 

Legendary performance. Damn near all in the paint with layups too

 

That shit isn't legendary because he did it against our virtually nonexistent defense and you only have to go back to Dirk to find something as good. Dame had a one of one game earlier this season by having the most efficient 60 point game in league history. SGA is really impressive but I think like early Jordan, he would have a really tough time in the playoffs when teams stuff the paint... kid needs a better jumper or at least to trust it more but that will probably come and he could be MVP someday,

 

This game would’ve gone differently had Thybulle been playing.

Bring on Aussie Matisse!

 

You've been wrong for about a year.
There is absolutely no debate on this. Conversation over.

 

Something tells me Cronin has blown it already.
The team needs to be sold.
There needs to be a new GM.
There needs to be a new coach.

First step. Sell the team Jody.

 

But wait here. You know exactly where i stand on Stotts.
That does not mean for a second I'm ready to give up on Billups just yet. This is his first real as his second year coaching. It has not gone well. Assuming the team is not sold and there is not huge changes. I'm ready to see how he continues to grow. At least one more year before i throw in the towel. That is hard to type as I'm getting older every year.

 

Boston lost to Orlando 3 out of 4 games, the last 3 games being losses.

 

I have always disagreed with you on this. THAT IS OKAY. we just disagree.
I have always felt Neil should have gone and Terry should have had a better GM that got him better players to work with.

 

Yeah but you have to be there 8 times to get 8 losses. Every playoff season ends in a loss unless you are the one team that doesn't.

 

This is the shot chart for a PG in 2023. Wild.

I could’ve mistaken this for Shaq’s shot chart in 2002.

 

Bro I was saying this throughout the whole game thread this dude SGA is making all his shots in the paint like it’s nothing lol

Absolutely crazy to see
