Game Thread 2022-23 Game #2 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - OCTOBER 21, 2022 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

phoenix was down 25 against dallas at home, came back and won the game

i think we can win this game if we get engaged on both ends of the floor

 

Need to re-establish the homecourt advantage that Moda offers.

 

To think we only need to win this game to beat/tie HCP’s 10 game record prediction.

Not going to be an easy one, but we can do it. As @BlazerBeav said, Home court needs to motivate and propel us to get this W.

 

I like our chances....Go Blazers!

 

Game one done. 81 more to go like that and we walk into the playoffs with hca. Not just the reg season.

 

I think we win if we score more points.

 

I think if they score less points we win!

 

Well, that's obviously debatable. LINK?

 

I’m excited to see Sharpe matched up on Booker, very worried to see him matched up on CP3.

Game 2 of Shaedon Sharpe’s MyCareer.

 

Still amazed this kid played in the first game of the season opener and scored 9 pts in the first qtr......big shoutout to Chauncey for throwing the lottery pick in the fire immediately

 

The beginning of the season is often the best time to face a top team. A lot of really good teams start off slow before kicking into a different gear. This first Phoenix game is winnable. The back-to-back ones against them on the road will be a different story. We need as many wins as possible before that stretch that starts Nov 4th.

 

if terry stotts was his head coach...

 

Fake news

 

Terry would certainly make him practice his 3 man weave drills past the 3 point line for a year before he sniffed the floor.

 

Terry started a rookie dame from the start. No doubt in my mind he would get minutes under Terry as well. This kid is a lot more ready to play than ant was his rookie year

 

The Suns are trash! Couldn't even beat the 36ers!

 

This will be a tough match up. We (The Blazers) can win the game but we need Dame making his shots and Ant scoring efficiently.

Just a side note: When I think about who we have behind Nurk I get physically ill. I don't think we can wait until the trade deadline or even a month or two to address that mess. We need at least one skilled big guy off the bench.
