Shaedon Sharpe Leads the Trail Blazers to a CLUTCH win over the Atlanta Hawks

28 comments

1. This was a fun one. I tuned in for the 3rd quarter and am so glad I caught it. I was thinking "as long as they play like this, I don't care if they win" and then they won. Chauncy's take on Shea needing to trust himself more is spot on. A few more games like this one should help.

2. When Ant comes back, Sharpe should still start.

3. Does anyone else think the injuries to Simons and Ayton are suspicious? I’m wondering if they are not long to the 503.

4. Ant and DA are not Blazer starters anymore

5. Please Cronin…just move on from Ant. Get what you can. Same wih Ayton. I don't NEED to see the hard choices. We already know Billups will choose the vets if it comes to it and Cronin is too soft and too afraid of hurting Billups feelings to tell him to not be stupid. Lets see what Sharpe can do. Lets see DC in 25 to 28 mnutes a game. Lets see what Scoot can do knowing that he is starting every game. Lets see what Camara and Deni can do. Maybe keep Grant…but I would rather see Camara/Deni/Rupert/Murray/Banton at some cmbo of 1-4 over Grant any day. Yes, I would keep Rob Williams if he is ok with it. Injury concerns or not. Because I think Rob will teach DC as much or more than the coaches will. Yes there are going to be times it sucks to watch the team. But it is time to finally pick a damn path and commit to a rebuild.

6. MAC AND THREES

7. Sharpe can score from all three levels. He can run the show as a playmaker.
   His lift off is remarkable.
   A star? I think so.

8. Lol cronin cant fool me. He saw that Clingan game and said Ayton’s not coming back

9. Toumani is bigger jrue holiday

10. RED HOT & ROLLIN'

11. Love the way Banton has been playing.. he’s 6’8 lanky and good things happen when he’s on the court. The way he plays is perfect for the 6th man role and creates mismatches on pick and rolls.

12. You guys are delusional….. the team is showing y’a they have playoff potential and y’a wanna trade away any and ayton after 3 games. When they come back then we can have revaluation m. Also depth in the nba is KEY!! 3 good centers and two solid point guards. Blazer looking like a young okc the last thing they need to do is trade Ant break up team chemistry. Ride the wave as a TEAM

13. Shaedon's shot at the end of the third quarter with time running out was Damesque!

14. Shaedon showed some playmaking tonight for sure. The look-away bounce pass off PNR to Rob and-1 was a wow for me. Good take on highlighting his shot variety tonight too.

15. I like Ant and don’t think we should trade him. Between Grant/Williams/Ayton, we should keep Williams since he’d be cheaper and brings that physicality/tenacity and defensive presence. Trading grant and ayton should get us enough draft picks/pieces back after trading valuable picks for advija. Free up some cap space to resign Sharpe and possibly bring in a big name during free agency. We start Scoot, Sharpe, Advija, Camara and Williams. Bring Simons off bench as sixth man play him around 30mins, give Banton between 20-25mins, Clingan 20mins and then divvy up remaining mins among walker/rupert/thybulle/murray. Ayton is good, but hasn’t played well enough to be paying him $35million a year.

16. Told ya this team had enough undeniable talent to win games😂

17. Blazers just seem to play better at both ends with Deni on the floor

18. Glad you came clean on DB Hooper at least partially. He’s a 6’ 9” bucket. He’s playing better than Deni at least offensively. He needs to work on his handle because he dribbles too high and I’m happy with how Billups is using him as he develops.

19. I know people want to get rid of Jerami, Simons and Ayten but if we do, I don’t want to trade them for draft picks like Scoot that MAY be good someday. I remember the days when we wished we had a shooter like Simons and when we wished we had a wing like Jerami. Or an athletic center like Ayten. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I’m OK with a trade, but I’d want to know why we’ll be better after the trade rather than 3 more years from now.

20. Thanks, Mike.

21. Shae Is equally what we thought he'd be glad he's a Blazer 💯

22. Dyson Daniels is looking like someone who will develop into the exact player people want to believe Dejounte Murray is

24. What I like about this game is Sharp was not on. He kept shooting and was clutch. This shows me he could really be special.

25. Wait for Deni to explode.
    You will be in love

26. Fuck dude you didnt even watch the game? You dont even know the final score? Wtf dude thats ridiculous. Is this your job??? All games are free this year jabroni. Your analysis is ridiculous now that i understand you are making it up. Reading the play by play and narrating convincing bullshit??
    Let me know if im wrong in any way, please.

27. I will not watch the Blazers if Simon’s and Anton are in the starting lineup. These two players are cancerous to this team. Unfortunately the right thing to do is trade Simon’s for a draft pick and get what you can from Ayton. This is the time. Waiting around and tanking for an unproven prospect is a bad move. The team found there identity and the correct chemistry. DONT mess this up

28. Sharpe constantly makes the right decisions. He passes the ball with purpose and precision, and plays with fire. He’s confident in all aspects of the game. He will be up there with the greatest to ever play the game. Banton, Camara and Murray have been great too!!
