Game Thread 2023-24 Game #8 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - NOVEMBER 8, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM - ROOT

Again Camara in the right place at the right time to get a second look. Just didn’t go in. Dude needs just as much playing time as scoot and sharpe at this point imo.

 

Anyone blaming Mays (or Camara/Thybulle) for anything down the stretch is way off base. All those guys were forced into a situation they have no business being in.

 

Blazers played their butts off. Best game of the season. The W would have been awesome. Super close contest.

 

I thought it was a hell of an effort. I expected to get blown out in this game. Grant had a hell of a game, he has to be gassed. He was bringing it on both sides of the ball tonight. Shoutout to the Kings...they ground out a win for their home crowd..no need to hang your head after this game...it was a battle..we may not win a lot but were definitely a tough sparring partner

 

Sharpe getting zoned out of the offense or not being assertive enough bugged me in this game. Mays was calling his own number a lot. This game it happened to fall. But overall I’d rather Sharpe get those looks.

 

I'm happy seeing the team compete. That was a really tough situation once Malcolm went out with that Hammy. I would assume Scoot will be back by Sunday and hopefully Malcolm isn't too bad and can be back as well after three days of treatment.

 

Sharpe has a bit of the Anthony Davis crunch time feel to him at times. He seems very content not taking the shot.

 

definitely not. But god damn dunno why he thought that side step 3 was a good idea. Bout to watch it again and try and see what the actual idea was there. But I Guess that’s what happens when three of your point guards go down and third string comes out. Oh well.

 

Sharpe committing that foul on the Monk 3 was a turning point.

 

With Deandre on the team and the fact that he's hella skinny, dude will play PF. We should be good.

 

Luckily he can play the 4 too.

 

He’s still super young and I’ve seen him take over in a couple 4th quarters this year. Grant is just too much of a black hole on offense for me to root him on.

 

This is on Shaedon not calling for it. I dont think he fully realizes his ability yet. Easy to forget hes 20. It will come.

 

Oh I'm rooting for Jerami to keep having big big games until we trade his ass around the deadline.

 

100%. I'm not saying it can't change and that he'll never take a big shot.

 

2 year extension, good job broadcasting crew

 

I think only if he couldn't manage to drive.

 

Wow! These losses carry so much less weight. It's kind of beautiful. I couldn't do this for more than another season but every game with all of the vets that we had for the last decade felt fucking terrible to lose. Tonight we were close and I'm just happy with the effort.
