Game Thread 2023-24 Game #30 - BLAZERS VS SPURS - DECEMBER 28, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[beast blazer]

Scoot tries way too hard to prove he's the man. He puts up way too many shots.

 

[MickZagger]

I love Terry Porter but I almost want to turn the sound off so I can focus on the game.

Im listening to Sean Elliott

 

[beast blazer]

Trade Brogdon to SA to get Zach Collins back.

 

[B-Roy]

We want Badji!

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't believe so, I think the point is to get better... We've been getting worse for years, it needs to stop at some point. If we get really really bad, we'd be a few good moves away from just being bad again.

For years? We were the 6 seed in 2021 playoffs. Be patient. Look at OKC. Tanked 3 years and look at them now.

 

[blazerkor]

I wish they wouldn't treat this like story time with TP. He's a really good analyst when he's not being interviewed.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers hit a wall

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers rec ball offense leads to open Spurs jam, Billups calls timeout.

 

[Chris Craig]

Shit! Getting a shot off around Wemby is damn near impossible.

Then don't shoot near him

 

[MickZagger]

Blazers hit a wall

Todd Bosma is here to cheer us up

 

[KingSpeed]

Why isn’t Badji playing? I don’t get it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Then don't shoot near him

Or go right into his chest.

 

[Chris Craig]

2 man game between Brogdan and Grant is clicking

Grant hit a couple threes. Otherwise he's terrible. One of the worst players at the rim I've ever seen.

 

[Whyachi]

Grant leads all scorers with 22

 

[blazerkor]

Then don't shoot near him

That's what Holton said at halftime. He basically said if Wemby is in between you and the basket, pass it.

 

[Whyachi]

Keldon Johnson hammered Jerami, nuthin' easy

 

[MickZagger]

Just trading buckets all quarter

 

[blazerkor]

Getting some more Badji!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes he’s back

 

[KingSpeed]

Grant hit a couple threes. Otherwise he's terrible. One of the worst players at the rim I've ever seen.

8/10 from FT line though

 

[Whyachi]

Walker smothering defense on Zach

 

[B-Roy]

Badji moves really well for his size.

 

[MickZagger]

Grant hit a couple threes. Otherwise he's terrible. One of the worst players at the rim I've ever seen.

I think he’s improved a lot at driving and finishing this year

 

[julius]

Blazers hit a wall

With how they started the game, the fact they actually hit a wall is a miracle.

 

[blazerkor]

Zach doesn't look any better than he did when he was here. He might even be worse. Any of you who wish we had him, I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

 

[Tince]

For years? We were the 6 seed in 2021 playoffs. Be patient. Look at OKC. Tanked 3 years and look at them now.

Yes, we've got worse for 3 straight yearS! How many more years do we need to get worse? Is it bad to want to get better?

 

[Whyachi]

that worked perfect !! ZC missed a FT

 

[blazerkor]

Yes, we've got worse for 3 straight yearS! How many more years do we need to get worse? Is it bad to want to get better?

It's not bad, it's just not prudent at this point. We need more significant pieces that will contribute to big wins in a few years, not insignificant pieces that will contribute to meaningless wins now.

 

[Tince]

Thybulle thinks twice before shooting a contested 3 at the end of the 3rd. He's trying to keep that percentage up!

 

[KingSpeed]

Badji is our 4th leading scorer
