Game Thread 2023-24 Game #10 - BLAZERS @ JAZZ - NOVEMBER 14, 2023 - TUESDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

Bring in the closers!

 

His point is if it’s fine to play Shae all game why not do the same with Mays? I agree.

I’m done. We’re tanking the end of games.

 

Tired Mays >>> Rested Bouyea

 

Matisse and Scoot and a some other players would have made that pass.

 

How much we lose by matters by the way.

 

Game thread summary:

1. We have 1 NBA quality guard on the roster
2. Billups is playing the bad guards too much
3. Billups is also playing the quality guard too much
4. Billups isn't playing Mays enough
5. Our good guard is tired
6. We need to run more plays for our good guard

 

I’m questioning the double standard with Sharpe and Mays. He could have also split the point minutes between Sharpe and Mays evenly and just play his wings more. Plenty of things he could have done to not play Bouyea.

 

He should give shooting lessons to Scoot.

 

Yep

 

Despite his offensive efficiency and rough fourth quarter, Shaedon had a really good game. Only up from here. Wish Scoot was here to learn during these times.

This is the best kind of losing there is. I applaud their effort.

 

Maybe Joe told him to give him a real look. Why does it matter so much

 

Not really. They won’t win another tournament game.

 

Matisse is under-used as a ball-handler and is definitely an unselfish passer.
He also seems to by default get the ball up the court very quickly.

 

The game where we lost Brogdon, they let Grant play some point and he did well. Much prefer that over Bouyea.

 

Ish is just a beast of a dude. Every time I see him on the court I do a double take because he is just such a different frame. I feel like his body is what Harden thinks he has. I wonder if Felton thought that too.

 

Losing in the fourth is fine. Sharpe isn’t immune to criticism, and his effort was spotty in the first half.

He also shouldn’t be playing 40 minutes a night. I thought moving Matisse to the bench would allow him to spot Sharpe at the two and let Chauncey play more wings. Guess not.

 

You missed Clarkson always plays well against the Blazers.

 

Oh yeah
Season high for Ayton tonight!

 

Zion like.
