Game Thread 2022-23 Game #64- BLAZERS @ MAGIC - MARCH 5, 2023 - SUNDAY - 3:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

I don't think Dame can go off and we don't win. The Magic aint that good

 

Yeah but I think a 40 piece and a loss is doable. But ur probably right.

 

The fact that multiple teams having moved off Reddish early is supposed to be a good thing?

Neither are "trash", they're NBA players. Grant is easily the better player though.

 

Dame needs 20 in the second half.
That keeps his numbers where they need to be.

 

Ideally Grant is your 3rd/4th option and Reddish is coming off the bench. I like them both as well!

 

Grant has been getting a terrible wrap lately. From what I see Chauncey is working in Reddish and Tisse and it is having some effect on his game. My thinking is that is a little bit by design and he is taking one for the team so to speak?

 

He’s definitely paid like he’s the better player. That also isn’t the debate, no one said Reddish is better than Grant. I said I’m sick of watching one dimensional Grant, who is trying to be maxed out this summer. THEN I said Reddish is a lot nicer than people are giving him credit for and at his age and expected price this summer is a keeper in my view. Not sure where this Reddish is better than Grant narrative started. I believe you were the first to say that insinuating I did.

 

Grant isn’t one dimensional though?
He creates and shoots the three plays good defense and creates turnovers with his off ball tendencies.
The fact he gets asked to cover PGs is not his fault.
Yes I wish he was a better rebounder.

 

Then close your eyes.

 

He’s a decent help defender, when he isn’t making shots I don’t see him offering much else.

 

Thanks for acknowledging you made up the Reddish vs Grant narrative, means a lot.

 

Just blocked a shot.
To me it’s just weird the hate he is getting right now?

 

Great helpside block by the one-dimensional Grant!

 

Nice mid-post move and finish by the one-dimensional Grant!

 

Just backed his defender into the paint and scored over him.

 

Grant also has decent handles for a guy his size.

 

I said Grant is better. Is that a false narrative?

 

Let's be honest, there is very little (if anything) that Reddish is better at than Grant. And thats no knock on Reddish.
