Game Thread 2022-23 Game #38 - BLAZERS @ PACERS - JANUARY 6, 2023 - FRIDAY - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

They should consider selling the farm: Nurk, Hart, Dame, , Justise, Grant, and Payton. And Ant if it gets you picks. They desperately need picks. Ant and Grant would be grabbed for sure IMHO by teams going for a deep run.

 

they weren't out there in the final 7:30.

you said you watched the game?

 

Dame has had a couple of bad shooting games in a row but we've seen that before. The guy hasn't fallen off. Just look at his numbers this season. He's at an all NBA level. The way some of you have turned on him is embarrassing.

 

Some teams are going through exactly what we are and looking at the lottery already...Toronto might be one of them. The next draft is supposed to be really, really stacked so GMs will take that into consideration, and I think Joe with his new staff will have a handle on targets like OG, Siakim ....I'd love to get Markkanen from Utah but Ainge is a stingy bastard. Last summer they were excited to see how these guys would gel....now they know what's not working more than last summer....Grant, Sharpe , Walker and Payton were great moves...I just wonder at this point if Chauncey is the next Mo Cheeks.

 

yeah.....I was quoting Holton from the radio feed saying the bench scored 19......didn't mention when they scored 19 but sure...they didn't play the end game...that was not my point. Chauncey didn't handle the game well....that's why they didn't play more in the end

 

He ain't at all-nba level. Nobody would take his contract. He is not a top 1o player. Sorry. Go down the list: Dame or Ja? Dame or Curry? Dame or Luka? Dame or SGA? Dame or Brown? Dame or Kyrie? Dame or Mitchell? Dame or Harden? I don't think any of those players' teams would swap for Dame. Not a one.

 

This choke job down the stretch reminds me of Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals in 2000.

 

The whole NBA is kind of mediocre this season. So it really only matters which team is playing well going into the playoffs.

 

Losing to Indiana in a regular season game in Indiana?

 

But they weren’t desperate then.

 

Did you see the game in 2000? Blazers had a lead in the fourth quarter and went stone cold from the floor.

 

Rigjt before I predicted the collapse

 

Dame over Mitchell and Kyrie by the end of the season. I'd rather have Dame than Curry right now just due to Dame having more games left in him. We'll see how it goes going forward but you and others turning on Dame like this when he's putting up the good numbers that he is...

 

This is the wrong season to throw in the towel in the Western Conference.

 

You are the only person on the planet taking Dame over Curry. That takes guts.

 

That’s what makes this so much more frustrating.

 

Where my haters at? When I’m wrong ya tag me all day but when I been right for the last few weeks on this team not a peep

 

Dame has been looking washed lately

 

I would give up Simons and whatever (not Sharpe) for OG and their pick.

 

He’s not all NBA. There are at least 7 guards better this year. Luka, Curry, Ja, SGA, Booker, Mitchell, and Fox.
