Game Thread 2023-24 Game #36 - BLAZERS @ KNICKS - JANUARY 9, 2024 - TUESDAY - 4:30 PM PST - ROOT

[Whyachi]

rough quarter for Shaedon. 2 airballs and a pass to the popcorn vender.

 

[TBpup]

Knicks announcers have mixed up Badji and Reath and don't seem interested in correcting their mistake

After Badji has been playing volleyball spike highlights with some of the Knicks attempts, you'd think they would figure it out.

Sharpe needs something to wake him up.

 

[B-Roy]

Throw away the zone Chauncey.

 

[blazerkor]

Nice dunk on the continuation from Shae!!!

 

[Whyachi]

and-1 Sharpe dunk, there we go

 

[blazerfan11]

Brogdon looks off Camara for the easy 2, misses a chippy, then fouls.

 

[Chris Craig]

You know when Malcolm is having a bad game we are screwed

 

[B-Roy]

These guard heavy lineups can't stop anyone. And even if they manage to get a stop, they can't get defensive rebounds.

 

[Cugel]

Not much you can do but weather this shooting storm

 

[Chris Craig]

Gotta play D

 

[illmatic99]

how long do you think it will take chauncey to figure out they are hunting corner threes every possession?

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland entered the game ranked 2nd in the NBA in opponents 3ptFG%.....uhhhh

 

[illmatic99]

glad i didn't shell out 200 bucks for nosebleed seats this game. sheesh

 

[B-Roy]

We crash the offensive boards which leads to a bunch of breaks.

We miss at the rim which leads to a bunch of breaks.

We don't crash the defensive boards.

Recipe for disaster.

 

[B-Roy]

For once in my life I would like to see a Blazers roster that actually makes sense.

 

[OneSport3]

It seems like we're the worst team in the NBA at running fast breaks.

I watch the Blazers a lot more than any other team, but it does feel this way.

 

[B-Roy]

It does seem like we've had some pretty horrible shooting luck this game.

ya pretty much

 

[Chris Craig]

He won't

 

[blazerfan11]

Live play is a good time to talk about the weather and how someone walked 8 miles.

 

[Chris Craig]

We will finish the game 1st at this rate

Both ways up hill

 

[riverman]

Only 5 players have scored and 3 of them have less than 6 pts apiece.....horrible ...this is butt ugly

Olshey inherited one but then he went to work

 

[BankTeller]

HOLY FUCK Raymond Felton. Gained more body weight post-career than Eddy Curry, I’m betting.

 

[illmatic99]

duop..... that might have been the dumbest foul i have ever seen

 

[TBpup]

There needs to be a video session showing the 1/2 dozen+ times a game that Badji with hit 7'6" wingspand and 9'8" standing reach is rolling to the basket uncovered or with a small guard rotating over.

LOB THE BALL TO THE BASKET!!! Someone finally tries to hit him on a roll and throws the ball down at his waist. It's some of the most clueless basketball by guards I've ever see. Throw the ball up in the air where he is the only player that can get it. This is not rocket science but game after game, they pass up absolute gimme lob dunks for Badji. Billups said he wants a big that can finish at the rim......that has been 70% of Badji's short career before coming to the NBA. It boggles the mind that our playmakers can't figure that out.
