Game Thread 2022-23 Game #5 BLAZERS VS HEAT - OCTOBER 26, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

One game at a time. Keep the train rollin!!!

We got this!!!!

 

Miami is one of the favorites in the East with Butler at 6'7" and Martin at 6'5" 205 as their starting forwards.
(and Lowry at 6'0)

 

Bam seems like bad matchup for Nurk. Does Winslow on Bam work ? (if he's healthy)

 

miami heat (1-3) didnt start the season well (losses were against the bulls, celtics & raptors, all at home and win was against the raptors, also at home)

we started the season really good, confidence is sky high, atmosphere is great and i expect another win, but miami is still miami

lets get this w, 5-0 sounds too good not to happen

 

The Herro/Simons matchup will be a good one, but I would like to be the first to wish Kyle Lowry "good luck."...
(shame I can't ACTUALLY do that!)..lol...

 

This Heat team has underperformed per their expectations so they're going to be hungry. Something like a dangerous wounded animal. Our guys just have to be hungrier. We can definitely beat this team but it will take a solid performance from the whole squad.

 

Very excited for Simons vs Herro. Herro got paid $30m more, to my surprise. Simons needs to show the world he’s the superior player.

 

Hart vs Butler is what I want to see. Should be intense.

 

That will be fun, but I bet Grant also covers Butler. Hoping Winslow is ready to go at least for 15 minutes

 

Ehh, he can take another game off. I enjoyed seeing Keon in the game. Winslow is who he is, but guys like Keon getting minutes does a lot more for the team in the long run. Plus with our depth on the wings, it’s possible that anyone on the bench outside of Eubanks can get injured and we don’t miss a beat.

 

Wow another high rebounding guard, Herro averaging 8.8rpg through four games. Gonna be interesting to see who gets more boards between he and Hart.

 

Blazers take care of Home court!

 

Our C-team should have beat them in Miami last year. We usually play well against them.

 

No he doesn’t.

 

Must win game?

 

If the Blazers want to get to 5-0, yes, it’s a must win.

If I’m reading this correctly, it looks like the Blazers are a 1 point favorite.

 

Let’s Go Blazers!

 

I've seen some posts on here talking about one on one match ups that people in here are looking forward to. With Chauncey's defensive schemes we don't do match ups anymore. It's all switches, helps, blitzes and zones. I mean the whole NBA is like that Chauncey just has these guys moving a lot more than most teams do.
