Game Thread 2023-24 Game #37 - BLAZERS @ THUNDER - JANUARY 11, 2023 - THURSDAY - 5:00 PM PST

[Whyachi]

62 is biggest margin of victory in OKC history. Breaking previous 45 beatdown on Pelicans at some point in the past.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot is -56.
4-21 from the field
1-9 from 3
Ugly.

He started well

 

[Chris Craig]

Lost by 62

Jesus

 

[beast blazer]

Disband the franchise.

 

[Cugel]

great effort all around.

Sell the team and gut everything to the core.
Trade everyone for picks. Everyone.

 

[KingSpeed]

To be fair to Dame, this game shows why he didn’t want to be here

 

[beast blazer]

What a team Cronin has put together. The Blazers should be in the WNBA.

 

[Whyachi]

this thrashing is not an anomoly, it's stuffed in front of a bunch of games where the Blazers looked horrible.

maybe commisioner Silver can take over the team until a better front office can be established?

We beat an NBA team on the road 4 days ago

That was an accident. They shot over 50% from 3 and still barely won.

This is the worst Blazer team in history.

 

[beast blazer]

The tank teams with Hart/Winslow/Sharpe were at least fun to watch.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I think OKC is better than us. Good thing this loss only counts as one.

When we win a game, enjoy it. Do not freak out and think we are going to screw up the tank.

 

[beast blazer]

Is this thing going to trend on Twitter?

Telfair/Monia team was worse. That team had no talent. Scoot and Sharpe are A-level talents. This is part of the growth. We’ll get 2 lottery picks this year and in another season, we’ll go after the play-in and begin our rise.

Gonna have to think real hard in two months when it's time to renew the season tickets....

People thought Telfair, Outlaw and Webster were going to be A level talents, just like fans HOPE Sharpe and Scoot become A level talents. But that team had Zach, Miles, Pryzbilla, Ratliff...

That team wasn’t tanking.

 

[e_blazer]

Remember when Portland had an NBA team?

 

[beast blazer]

That team wasn’t tanking.

Yeah, they were sitting Dame and other starters out with BS injuries. We've ended the last two seasons tanking.

You don’t become an A level talent. You have it to begin with or you don’t.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Heads should be rolling

 

[BlayZa]

we shot 27.7% from the field.

but looking at the team, well, yeah.

 

[Whyachi]

i hope Blazer managers are paying attention to this road trip, especially to this Thunder game. Portland is missing 3 bigs, and opponents are going scorched earth on the Blazers. Going all guards gets high draft picks, but it's unfair to continually ask small guards to "step up" and play bigger positions.

 

[Tince]

Reath might've played worse.

 

[cdub503]

The sky is falling the sky is falling. A good team beat us!

 

[beast blazer]

You don’t become an A level talent. You have it to begin with or you don’t.

It usually works that way. But fans hope players develop into that. Sharpe and Scoot are NOT A level talent now.

 

[OneSport3]

I completely forgot that OKC thrashed us already earlier this season

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The sky is falling the sky is falling. A good team beat us!

...by SIXTY TWO

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now we've got a rivalry!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You don’t become an A level talent. You have it to begin with or you don’t.

Hint: SGA has it, Holmgren has it, and I don't think anyone on the Blazers does.
