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

Got into our rooms about 4:30am . Long day for everybody involved.

 

I skipped lunch today

 

Stomach still hurting from last nights loss?

 

I don’t have to. I have read every game thread.

 

Kill Joy!

 

Who won the Halliburton/Sabonis trade?

 

The Pacers

 

in indy? everything closes at 8pm

this is only the third time in the past 11 yrs that i will not be in attendance at this game. a part of me def misses indy.

the meyers leonard friends and family contingent used to show up in a big way some of those years.

 

if it was just a Haliburton for Sabonis trade, it would probably be one of those 'both teams won' deals.

Sabonis is having a remarkable season for a C: 19 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists while shooting 42% on three's and posting a TS% of .684 and a PER of 24.0. That's comparable to what Haliburton is doing, arguably better

but the Pacers also got Heild in the deal and he's having a great 'supporting role' season

 

After another L today, we will win against the Raptors

 

Portland Trail Blazers
19-18 (21-15-1) 237.0 +118 35.9%
Indiana Pacers
21-18 (24-15-0) -2.0 -140 64.1%

Well this looks about right we are 2 to 1 underdogs. If Nurk shows up maybe we have a chance and Ant can find just a little bit of defense.

 

Is Gary playing?

 

January 14th a lot of trade restrictions are lifted. Interesting info on team needs and possible trading partners

Whether for the 2023 NBA Draft or to fill their roster with the best free agent fits in the offseason or during the season, this list provides the most up to date team needs.
