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

[Rastapopoulos]

Our best strategy here is to get the Thunder to pity us.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He learned from Dame. That was a Lillard specialty.

Still is.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Alright, over/under 32. Watcha got?

For the half?

 

[KingSpeed]

Waited too long to trade Ant.

 

[Tince]

It's easy to get bad... it's harder to become good again!

 

[TBpup]

Giddey is such a good passer.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Alright, over/under 32. Watcha got?

Over 50. I wish I was joking.

 

[KingSpeed]

For the half?

The game. Things can swing in garbage time.

 

[TBpup]

Losing by 30+ is one thing. Being down 36 at the half?

WOW!

 

[Whyachi]

He learned from Dame. That was a Lillard specialty.

Lillard is a Buck. We can't keep dumping Blazer issues on Dame anymore.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Well, it could be worse. Blazers could be down by 30. Wait, shit. That’s 36 not 26. Dammmmn

 

[KingSpeed]

It's easy to get bad... it's hard to become good again!

Wasn’t that hard for OKC.

 

[Quatro44]

at this point they might as well just play Scoot and Sharpe together as much as they can if they are just going to lose games and focus on the backcourt of the future.

Sure we can. Dame mentored Ant.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Waited too long to trade Ant.

Our mistake was ignoring me and not drafting Jalen Brunson instead.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes.

 

[KingSpeed]

Whatever

 

[TBpup]

Where do you think he was influence the previous 5 years? It's not dumping on Dame. It is a reality based, historical comment.

 

[OneSport3]

As bad as we’re getting handled tonight, we’re not even the worst. Boston is getting crushed by 38 points in Milwaukee right now.

 

[Whyachi]

Sure we can. Dame mentored Ant.

Dame is a Buck, Coach Billups is supposed to be mentoring Anfernee.

 

[TBpup]

26 of 27 baskets by the Thunder at the rim according to 'Tone. Holy Layup Line!

Even Harvey is calling out the Blazers transition defense.

 

[Labinot41]

Disgusting

 

[B-Roy]

Stand up for your team Chauncey

 

[BigGameDamian]

I can't watch Groundhog day again. Gave it a shot.

One of my favorite Bill Murray movies!

 

[Whyachi]

Stand up for your team Chauncey

will Coach blame Shaedon after this loss too?

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame is a Buck, Coach Billups is supposed to be mentoring Anfernee.

Coaches aren’t necessarily mentors. Dame was not a Buck the first 5 years of Ant’s career when he was developed.

 

[Whyachi]

A) the team got good looks, just couldn't get them to drop.

B) the Thunder are trying to win a championship, that's why the Blazers stink

 

[42N8Bounce]

What happened to the good old day earlier this season when the Blazers were bad? Now they’re terrible.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Describe the Blazers in one word. I'll start: INEPT

Leaderless.
