Game Thread 2023-24 Game #13 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER - NOVEMBER 19, 2023 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

[Tince]

I think that’s a safe bet. We can’t play any worse, right?

I'm with you.. betting the house on it!

 

[julius]

I don't think this is a "the team is injured" issue. They look lost and like they're mostly players who should not set food on the court.

 

[Tince]

It was clear that having cutters worked for the Blazers.
I think it was 2 times.
Don't blink.

How OKC ever allowed any of our guys to cut and not dare us to shoot is beyond me.

 

[blazerfan11]

Ayton is 3-4. 75%.

rest of the team is 13-38. 34%

scouting has a tendency to do that

 

[blazerfan11]

One play that was nice .
Grant at the right elbow. Passed to Murray? cutting the right baseline who passed it to Ayton on the left side of the hoop.
Ayton was fouled.

 

[inconceivable]

We need to finish this game losing by single digits to have some pride left

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Ayton is 3-4. 75%.

rest of the team is 13-38. 34%

He has two assists also, quite good considering his low usage. Billups really has to figure out how to use him better.

 

[blazerfan11]

I think Murray's "shot" that went over the hoop to Ayton for an easy bucket was intended as a pass. Smart play by Murray.

Blazers should be doing that all night long.

That Camara not Murray

 

[Tince]

Cronin, take notes on how to rebuild please

We are not in a position to copy their plan.

 

[MickZagger]

We have a lot of guys who are nice complimentary players. But ask them to be a focal point of anything and we’re in a world of hurt.

also our guards need to get healthy because it’s becoming embarrassing

How about just trying build with length. There’s a mold of players they go after. They seem to emphasize length

They already have no pride left.

Thunder are on the 2nd night of a back to back. They’ll start wearing down in the 4th quarter

I'd say length without shooting is more or less worthless, but yes, we need length as well.

Good opportunity for us to cut it to 25.

We need actual basketball players.

 

[Tince]

We need actual basketball players.

Now you're getting greedy.

 

[Bingo Bango]

The worst thing about sucking so much this year is the lotto this year is weak.

No worries. The Blazers will be in the next one, too.

 

[Chris Craig]

No worries. The Blazers will be in the next one, too.

Won't matter.

 

[OR-84]

Wow…I just turned this on. Yikes!!!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Maybe Billups knows something that I don’t. Perhaps the Blazers get more lottery balls by loosing by huge margins.

This is hard to watch.

 

[illmatic99]

really have to applaud lamar hurd tonight. very easy to just throw in the towel a an announcer but he's staying engaged and making the most of this shitshow

 

[beast blazer]

This team doesn't feel like it has much upside. Sharpe, that's it.

A true pro!

 

[OneSport3]

In the words of Mike Barrett: and all of a sudden, this turned into a Rip City Remix game.

 

[Tince]

Wow…I just turned this on. Yikes!!!

You're smarter than most of us for waiting this long!

 

[FlashWad]

This team doesn't feel like it has much upside. Sharpe, that's it.

We need many many years of good drafting to be competitive again.
