Game Thread 2022-23 Game #53 - BLAZERS @ BULLS - FEBRUARY 4, 2023 - SATURDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

Watched Dame guard Porzingas. He looked down at Dame and said "Fuck it... I'm just gonna shoot it". Thing is on the next possession he brought the ball down just low enough for Dame to tap it just enough for him to try to pass out and Sharpe picked off the pass.
I think the Blazers did a good job in the second half of trying to deny Porzingas the ball at times. Once he got it he was tough to handle but keeping him from getting it seemed to work.

 

if you thought the Wizards might be bad....

wait until you see what Chicago looks like

 

Beautiful day here in Chi-Town

 

Is this an 80s retro cocaine day for the team? Put it on my tab....

 

I'd be happy with even a mediocre start....say, down by 10 in the first Q.

 

Quarter zip weather?

Not sure why they start out so slow. It seems to be a different reason for each game. Last night they were just not ready to play. Dame missed some layups and jump shots he did not miss the rest of the game. Eubanks missed an easy layup as well. And on D they let Beal get a tip on his own missed shot to start out the game while Porzingis started out hot. I guess just a lack of focus and intensity.

 

We were just feeling them out. Once we understood what they were doing on both sides of the court, they took off and dominated. Remember, at halftime down 18, our asst coach said “we’re in good shape.”

 

Yeah, but you told me the Blazers weren't going to start playing until 8pm tonight in Chicago....

 

Did I just hear that right? blazers are 6-2 on the 2nd half of back to backs?

 

Be nice to not be down 20 10 min into game.

 

Looks like Lillard will be looking for his!

 

I’m back to let’s win mode.

haha I’m fickle as fuck. But I swear I just want what’s best for this damn depressing team

 

Of course this game is blacked out for me on league pass (local)

 

Lavine’s so flashy, but really just a huge chucker. For as many games he’s lights out, he shoots them out of even more.

 

They aren't going to overturn this based on the rulebook, but what a BS call. That's a normal shooting motion his foot just comes out a bit.

 

I don’t know how I feel about GP2. He’s a little too cute out there. Stop being such a damn politician

 

I mean I can see if you’re actually kicking your leg out egregiously. But that was garbage

 

BS call

 

It's against the law for the Blazers to lead after 1.
