Game Thread 2023-24 Game #19 - BLAZERS @ JAZZ - DECEMBER 2, 2023 - SATURDAY - 6:30 PM PST - ROOT

Bro, that was the game. It was out on an untouched, flopping Sexton. It would've been our ball.

And even if he thought he was going to lose the challenge, he should've used it. I know you're a Chauncey guy, but he's got to get the challenge thing down. It's a matter of strategy.

 

Honestly this road trip taught us one very very important thing. Shae is the future of this franchise and there is no doubt about it. We need to remove anything in his way of realizing that.

 

also where is that idiot poster that was ragging continuously on toumani?

show yourself, dumbass.

we have our SFotF no matter how cluelessly you argue otherwise.

 

used to be if they are unsure about a shot making the shot clock they'd signal the scorer's table that they want to review at the next stoppage. There was no stoppage until Camara's tip-in

in real time I thought he was too late with the shot

 

That's where that Andre Miller vertical is sub-optimal

 

Coaching has impressed me A LOT. Especially in the last 5 or so games.

Those guys are playing their ass off

 

Yep, I'm very excited about how he is coming along. He is a good complement to Grant. I would not label either a PF or SF, they are just forwards.

 

FTFY.

The 2 and 3 are locked up. we'll look back very fondly of those b2b dunks from these two for a long time.

 

Both TC and Thybulle have been playing really well. This roster could legit contend but it needs a legit superstar or two, but we have our role players. We have depth.

 

I'm excited to see what this team looks like with Ant. Ant/Shaedon should be starting, and if those two prove they can shoulder an offense we'd be a pretty decent team. Honestly wouldn't mind running Tisse/Camara at the 3/4 after the trade deadline. Want to see the young guys grow. Ant/Scoot/Shae/Camara/Bari.

 

We're only two superstars away!

 

a part of me wonders how we'd look with dame in place of scoot/brogdon/rwIII right now. the nurk+little + keon for ayton+tou trade was still there w/ or w/o Dame.

Dame
Shaedon
Toumani
Grant
Ayton

with Ant as super sixth man, and Thybulle and Jabari off the bench as 7th/8th guys?

man we went nearly a decade without putting that kinda defense around Dame.

sucks when this thought sets in, but we have to look forward.

 

Dame by himself kind of tanks a defense. Bucks are 20th. Yeah we'd be better, I don't think we would be contenders.

 

Hey…… maybe like 1.5!

 

I love Dame man… I really do. But he did not play team basketball. He was the iso king. He didn’t even try on defense. I’m not convinced that a team can win the title with Dame as their best player. I think he might get one with the bucks because they have Giannis.

 

dame on his own makes for a top 10 offense. we are the worst offensive team in the league right now. even with a decline in our defense, we'd be a playoff team with dame still here.

 

Jerami Grant is the 0.5?

 

We'd certainly be closer to having 2 superstars if Dame was on the roster.

 

Not ready to call him SFotF, but loved what I saw from him on the defensive end.

Let’s bring in two more forwards in the draft this summer and make it a competition in the forward room. In the end, if he can’t shoot a few years from now, he’s just a really good specialist. He could be as good as Tony Allen on defense, the fact is Tony Allen wouldn’t be see much of the floor on a contending team today. Camara will have to shoot the 3 eventually before I can crown him as SFotF, even if in my own mind.
