Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #8 - BLAZERS @ PELICANS - NOVEMBER 4, 2024 - MONDAY - 6:30 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

Please bench GRANT for the rest of the game.

 

Bench Grant and Keep Rupert in . rest of the game.

 

unfortunately true, hope he

that's a damn good Q, horrible conbo

 

WTF. Rupert was taken out????

 

are you fuckign kidding me? How does Grant get back in the game for Rupert?

 

Toumani is the man.

 

It feels like there is one good player on this team: Toumani. Everyone else is just up and down, mostly down.

 

Nice comeback

 

Yeah Grant isn't needed here

 

Gawd I can’t wait for Shaedon. Hope he is ready to take over

 

Camara making big strides, Rayan at 20 lookin better. I still think Deni will find a place here, especially after Grant/Simons are gone

 

I'll tell you how it'll go. Replace some of Ant/Grant isos with Shaedon isos. Probably similar efficiency, aka not that great. Overall won't change much.

 

What I’ve learned so far tonight

Portland’s starters and rotation guys are almost as good as the Pelicans 2nd string and end of bench guys

 

One consistent thing I've noticed is that our spacing on drives is all kinds of awful. None of our wings are natural shooters, so they want to cut and play in the lane. So what happens is everyone wants to drive and cut, but they're always driving in 3-4 players because other guys are cutting and dragging their defenders into the lane.

 

I guess Grant makes pretty misses. Must be what Billups sees. All I see is 1 for 10 taking the most shots of anyone on the team.
