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

[beast blazer]

The only thing we can dream about now is getting Cooper Flagg in 2 years.

Cronin may as well embrace the suckage and trade Brogdon/Grant. Replace them with youngin's who are playing for a contract.

 

[Mediocre Man]

62 points?

 

[OR-84]

WTF???? I was (luckily) unable to watch the game, but just saw the box score…..did they just completely shit the bed on this one?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Just saw the score. Tell me it was closer than the score suggests

 

[MickZagger]

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

I think last year

 

[Chris Craig]

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

WNBA teams would destroy us

 

[Chris Craig]

Just saw the score. Tell me it was closer than the score suggests

Nope

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This is worse than the Pistons losing streak.

Holy shit

 

[Tince]

We didn't even have the worst loss of the evening.

We didn't even have the worst loss of the evening.

yes we did. we lost by 62.

UCLA lost by 46.

 

[Bingo Bango]

Yaayy!! We spent two seasons intentionally losing games so we could get two guys who would have a tough time making the G league.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Scoot with a +/- of -56

that has to be an all-time record of some sort

 

[Bingo Bango]

Scoot with a +/- of -56

that has to be an all-time record of some sort

But he still thinks he’s going to be Rookie of the Year.

 

[Tince]

yes we did. we lost by 62.

UCLA lost by 46.

We didn't get doubled up!

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot with a +/- of -56

Scoot had 11 in the 1st quarter, then missed 14 straight shots. Though not all the negative stats should be pushed at the rookie. Some of his teammates were moping around the court, and giving almost zero effort defensively.

The pacers game about 15 years ago we got doubled up

There's literally no positives this game. Everyone played about as bad as they could have.

 

[Tince]

Yep. That game was worse too!

 

[Strenuus]

Lol are people getting mad about this season still? There's literally nothing to care about this year. Think of it as a stress-free year! It's fucking great!!

 

[SwissBlazer]

I don't know why but I somehow saw the result before launching the game as I usually do. Will invest these 2 hours differently

 

[MarinerDNA]

Yep. That game was worse too!

I remember that. Mark Jackson and Reggie lit us up. Jackson compared the game to playing hoops with his kids on the driveway. I think Sheed led us with 14 pts if I'm not mistaken.

I like Dybantsa and Bailey better but Flagg looks to have some Kirilenko in him. He's going to be a stud. One more year of this shit

I would fire 1/2 the coaching staff and trade Brogdon ASAP. Then I would look at Jerami deals and take the best one (Jarace or Whitmore). The plane has crashed into the mountain. Chauncey appears to have lost the team and I'm really disappointed in our veterans. This is a horrific environment for Scoot and Sharpe right now.

I was there. It was Feb 27th 1998 IIRC. I drive to Indy from Chicago.

Manny Harris once had a -57 game. Miles Bridges and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl had a -56 game once too.

Wasn’t that like 25 or so years ago?

 

[kjironman1]

Sure we can. Dame mentored Ant.

C'mon now. This is just ridiculous.

 

[kjironman1]

Rasheed Wallace / Isaiah Rider days

 

[beast blazer]

Hyperbole, but if Scoot were not the #3 pick, he would not make the rotation of any NBA team. He's simply not an NBA caliber player right now. His TS% is 45%. That is 5% worse than the abysmal Armon Johnson, whom Scoot reminds me of. Good athlete, but not a good basketball player.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Lol are people getting mad about this season still? There's literally nothing to care about this year. Think of it as a stress-free year! It's fucking great!!

And the best part is, we've got a front office that'll make sure we NEVER have to get stressed!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Ha i guess so. Time flies. It was like right after they got Damon IIRC
