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

Does Chauncey just not want to play Toumani in 4th quarters? I don’t get it.

@KingSpeed

Are you still not sure if Grant is better than Walker? You seemed to put a lot of weight in the Kings game, but haven't had much to say in the Warriors or Spurs games.

Walker is a better conventional PF. Long term, I like Walker.

 

[Tince]

Blazers bench outscored 40-17

Career high for Scoot!

Scoot career high !

 

[riverman]

Well, that sucked.

 

[B-Roy]

Grant almost had a triple double tonight. Also don’t remember the last time Grant had double digit rebounds. Took 41 mins though.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers probably won't win any games they are actually favored in this year.

I don't even know what a "conventional PF" is in todays game... but if he's better, then I'd rather play a non- conventional PF.

Career high for Scoot!

Wish he had an assist-to-turnover ratio instead of a turnover-to-assist but still that’s good!

 

[Chris Craig]

Maybe the Blazers will decide to show up tomorrow. Get paid millions to do a job, then don't do it.

 

[TBpup]

Badji with 3 blocks

7 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks on 3-3 shooting in 13 minutes....not bad at all.

 

[illmatic99]

thought scoot was awful for the most part tonight. got his points from getting up attempts but had a miserable impact on the game.

was world beaters last game, putrid tonight. them's the breaks for a 19 yr old PG.

love to see development but also would at times like to fast forward a few years.

I'm not sure 5 assists counts as "almost a triple double". That would be saying like he almost had 60 points.

*kingspeed voice* I don’t get why Wembanyama is so hyped, he barely outscored Jerami Grant who everyone says is garbage.

 

[Whyachi]

Well, that sucked.

Scoot had stats !!

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoot career high !

Figures it's in a loss to one of the worst teams in the league.

their job is to get us a good draft pick and they’re doing great.

 

[OneSport3]

Wemby’s stat line is just ridiculous.

30 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assts, 7 blocks.

We were just one number away…

He wasn't great, but I'm not going to freak out about him running the show just yet.

I will say, if this is the production we get from him a the #1 play-maker role, I think all parties would be better playing him off the ball again. There is such thing as gaining bad experience and I don't want that for him.

Let's make a new thread to get Badji a real NBA contract immediately.

 

[KingSpeed]

Halliburton got 20 assists tonight

 

[OneSport3]

2 away

We were one lottery ball number away from getting the #1 pick.

 

[PCmor7]

Badji.

That's the post.

 

[Pinwheel1]

7 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks on 3-3 shooting in 13 minutes....not bad at all.

Weird stat that means absolutely nothing...but Badji had a +11 when everyone else on the team was a minus.

We were two picks away. We were never getting him.

 

[KingSpeed]

Btw- tonight was probably VW’s best game of the year.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers radio trying to dilute Wemby's big night. "no, yah, he wasn't dominating or anything."
30/6/6/7 is totally "meh" for sure

 

[TBpup]

Badji with almost double-digit rebounds in his first 'real' game. Saw some things out there (even in garbage time) that are intruiging.

It was against the Blazers. Not really a surprise.
