Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #9 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - NOVEMBER 7, 2024 - 5:00 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

Nice! I never thought about holding Sharpe out until he is 110%. That could be a while? Maybe they could try that with Grant and Simons too?

Good enough for playoffs but never get out of the first round.
There is a song that covers that? Seem to remember people playing is over and over again?

 

I mean be sure he is healthy before risking another injury. I

 

be interesting to see how much run Banton gets tonight

 

I’d be shocked to see Sharpe play. Seems like guys coming off injury and listed as questionable rarely play those first couple of games.

 

Anyone else frustrated with Billups decision on playing time. Feel like he’s holding guys back trying to make them come into the league like he did? Frustrating time to take training wheels off and roll with the following groups

1. scoot
2. Sharpe
3. Camara/Dani
4. Grant
5. Ayton

2nd unit
1. Ant
2 Dani/ Camara at 2 or 3
Williams and Clingan as first bigs

 

Nah. If we are good for 40 wins this year, we will be even better the next year and the year after that without changing the roster. Sooo many young guys who can grow into what we need still.

Im with HCP on this. I miss the playoffs.

 

I think the playoffs is the best coaching and playing school there is. Chauncey is going on year 4 without sniffing a playoff game...same with all our rookies. You can't get that experience in the practice facility or regular season

 

Will we finally get to see the Canadian Connection for the first time? I hope Shae plays.

 

Shaedon is back. Let's goooo

 

Hope Pop has a full recovery from whatever he's battling.

 

I wonder if Sharpe starts? Doubt it. Welcome back, young man.

 

And the Hawks did pretty well last year. Yeah I’ve made those arguments.

 

So does Dookie Henderson get his minutes cut?

 

Absolutely, great respect for Pop

 

really looking forward to Shae playing, hope Timelord gets some minutes as well

 

Excited about this game. Win tonight tomorrow and we are most likely in play-in range! Go Blazers.

 

we are getting too deep if we stay healthy, too many of these guys need minutes with vets like Grant/Simons ahead of them. Cronin needs to be working the phones

 

Got to deal the vets ASAP.

 

OK, I was wrong. Wemby is playing. We still got a chance to lose.
