GLB of the game Isabella Merced

1st quarter GLB pic

lol, they gave us Spoelstra’s record but somehow forgot to give us Billups, I wonder why?

Did they just call a foul on somebody guarding Avdija? Now there is a rare site.

Bad inbound pass by Ant leads to break away dunk

Sharpe settling for threes again

Avdija drive & foul, he has half of POR points so far

It is baffling to me how many shots at the basket that Scoot misses

Duop Reath sighting? No RW3 or Ayton, both late scratches

Good block by Sharpe & Scoot scores on the other end

Good move by Scoot there to get to the rim, and he was fouled, much better result than bricking outside shots

Would like to see Clingan matching up against Ware instead of Reath, who is overmatched

2nd quarter GLB pic

Sharpe 9 shots so far, Ant 2, like to see more of that instead of the other way around, except for 3pt ones

Jovic has a huge nose, wow

Good pass by Banton for easy DC dunk, he has been passing more, which is good and then he goes in ISO mode and throws up an air ball, Leopard meet spots

Bad fall by Bam there, looks like he’s OK

It would be nice to see Rupert\Murray in the game instead of Banton IMO, you actually invested assets into both of those players, especially since Cronin said POR had a “lottery grade “on both of them

How was there nobody guarding the baseline? No one was even close.

I wonder if the reason that Deni doesn’t get many calls, is due to the amount of contact he initiates, he was asking for a foul on that last layup, but he initiated as much contact as he took

There you go Kris, nice aggressive drive and dunk on the close out

Sharpe goes ISO & draws a foul. I feel like he can get that anytime, needs to do that more

3 by Simons. Simons 8, Herro 7. Game on!

Jovic 12 & 6, he has looked pretty good, I remember when he was a rumored piece in a potential Dame/MIA trade. Would rather have Camara, but Jovic has been better than expected

Avdija 11-8-3, nice half, still 4min left

Just some sloppy TO by POR, Sharpe in particular

Great connective passing on that fast break there, ending with a DC dunk, reminded me of the old Porter/Buck/Drexler days

DC miss in an easy dunk attempt, then bad pass\TO

Herro 3, MIA up by 17, then he hit another 3, now up by 20, how did it get out of hand so fast?

At half, Herro 18-3-5, Simons 8-2-0, as much of a blowout as the game score is

3rd quarter GLB pic

4th quarter GLB pic

Oh crap. Deni down, holding knee, got up ok

Own goal by DC

Deni nice pass to Sharpe for an easy score, Billups is talking to him after the timeout is called, can’t imagine what he critiquing him about?

Simons and 1, closing the gap, Herro 18, Simons 16….19

Jacquez attacks Simons draws the foul

Simons and Herro exchanging 3’s

Nice steal by Scoot there, leads to fast break score

End of 3Q - Herro leads, barely 26-5-5, Simons 25-3-1

I can’t believe MIA gave up a 1st for Rozier, he has been incredibly underwhelming, 9-1-4, 1-4 from 3pt

Consolation GLB pics

Jovic nice pass to Ware, he has been real impressive tonight

Bad pass by Deni there, he makes some questionable decisions with the ball

Yikes, Highsmith, picks Sharpe’s pocket & Sharpe doesn’t make any effort after to deny layup, not a good look. MIA up by 17

Now that was a good pass by Simons to DC for a dunk off the pick and roll

DC air mails a 3

Sharpe 3 with .4 on shot clock, he didn’t call bank on that?

Nice block by Deni on Herro there

DC kept the ball alive there twice on the offensive end, and POR was rewarded with a Simons 3

Simons 91st percentile USG, just ridiculous

That is such a weak flagrant foul call on DC

POR wilting down the stretch, MIA up by 18

Rupert…..ugh… loses dribble trying to make a move

Final: Herro 32-5-5, Simons 28-4-3

Winner: Herro, especially when you consider he had Camara on him most of the night.

These uncompetative losses are dangerous, we may try hard after getting curb stomped and win 1 or 2 now

37.9% FG, 27.8% 3pt FG Yikes, cannot win very many games with those kind of shooting percentages

Getting real tired of hearing Billups stupid excuses

Calls out Sharpe’s careless TO’s, credit where credit is due, that is true

I don’t care how good Billups is relating to the players and talking to them, which I believe is true, he is such a bad X’s & O’s coach, he has got to be fired

The only thing that matters is that there are 44 games left in the season.

126 games left before Ant and Ayton are finally off the team's books

The Blazers lack snipers in an era where 3-point shooting is more important than ever. Plenty of open shots, but hardly anyone who can make them consistently.

I'd argue the game was more competitive than the score would indicate. The Heat were on fire from 3. Tough to keep up when our team can't match that because of the lack of shooting talent.

Is it the lack of shooting talent or the coaching? Maybe a bit of both but I feel like the iso ball we seem to play under Chauncey limits the open 3s in a big way

I think my biggest fear is Cronin extends one or both of them

Thybulle and RW3, as well.

What's wrong with RW3 and Ayton now? Why did neither play last night?

This assumes either player wants to come back.

I don’t think either player does, that doesn’t mean Cronin could overpay them enough to reconsider, just look at Exhibit A: Jerami Grant’s contract

That's fair especially in regards to ant lol.
