Game Thread 2022-23 Game #28 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - DECEMBER 14, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Bro annoncers travel with the team, eat with the team. Their bills are paid by the team. Team puts their kids thru college. I think they are allowed to say "we". You want unbiased calls and views , catch the game on TNT and ESPN.

 

I was just reading that they are coming out with some sort of box that will record the games of your favorite sports team if you are away from home. Standby FAMS, I'll shoot you a link.

 

Simons moves up 1 spot to #41 on the Blazers Career Points board -

70 more points for Lillard to claim that top spot. 2 more games?[/QUOTE]
I hope he isn't scoring that much in these next couple games. I'll take 3 games.

 

He's what....about 10,000 points from top 10. I'm not sure about that. Proud to call him the greatest Blazer ever regardless.

 

STOP!

 

That would be cool. Was thinking the same. We found out Clyde isn't in Houston anymore. We were hoping he would be there and join us on the show. Would have been great o have him there to see it in person.

 

why is that? he is our best defender and very rarely makes mistakes.

 

This post proves my point. I could send you TONS (150gb at least) of examples of him completely missing his assignment on a pick n roll situation and the other team scores. Then walks to the bench with his head down and arms up as Billups gets in his ass.
Everyone has defensive lapses sure, but to claim to not see it, c'mon FAMS.

 

He's starting to take over some of Winslow's minutes.

I think Blazers are a better team with Watford playing over Winslow.

 

I like what they both offer for sure....just have to have the right combo out there to counter what skills they lack. I've always loved dudes you don't have to call a play for and yet can still have a positive impact out there.

 

Where am I wrong? I said most EXPLOSIVE. Not the best. Name another backcourt that can catch fire like Dame or Ant.

 

You asked if they are the “best backcourt” in the league.

 

Might be now if Steph is out for any length of time?

 

I think Mitchell/Garland is currently on top with Morant/Bane and Dame/Ant close behind. But with the way Ant has been improving, I think they could leapfrog one or both duos by the end of the season.

 

Even with a healthy Steph, Klay is just former shell of himself.

 

Not really true. Been playing back into better shape and he is doing very well.

 

They are similar in the way they both give us an extra ball handler at the 4 spot, which against trapping teams is much needed.
But other than that they differ in how they can help this team.

Watford is (or at least eventually will be) a better offensive player and can cover bigger players a little better. Winslow can defend a variety of SFs, along with PFs. I would also give JW the edge as an emergency playmaker.

But as HCP alluded to, it does matter who they are on the floor with. I am not sure I would play Winslow with GP2 together unless it is solely a defensive possession. That will be interesting to see play out. But my guess is that if everyone is healthy then Winslow and Watford alternate games depending on the matchups.

 

How about Lillard Lane?
