Game Thread 2023-24 Game #38 - BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - JANUARY 12, 2024 - 5:00 PM PST - ROOT

[Whyachi]

SlowMo is still terrible.
He'd make a great Blazer.
... trade ?

 

[Whyachi]

nifty shot by Naz

 

[blazerkor]

Wow! Night and day between the first quarter and the start to this second.

 

[blazerkor]

I see a lot of you are waiting to complain again.

 

[Whyachi]

Simons coughs it up, refuses to run back on defense. It's that kind of bummer mojo that's bringing this team down.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good run.

Gotta keep it going. Dug a big hole

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Mr Robot -

Really out of all the BS happening on the court you want to focus on Reath taking a bad shot -- glad to know you have your priorities straight. -- LOL

- How bout the fact Grant looks like he does not give 2 shits about losing since he got BANK this summer.
- How bout the fact Billups sucks and does jack shit when the shit hits the fan unlike the Raps coach who will stick up for his team.

This is just the top 2 things I give a shit about cause a Reath bad shot is like dead last on my list of things to be annoyed about -- LOL

Agreed. Seems as if Reath was wide open on his shots, so he should take them.

 

[blazerfan11]

I would be setting up Grant for 3-pointers all night long.

 

[Whyachi]

Walker & Badji bringing hustle, T-wolves only up by 12

 

[blazerfan11]

I don't understand this team. Grant is open for three, calling for the ball.

The Blazers should be seeking that out.

Instead, oblivious.

 

[blazerkor]

This team is fighting tonight.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why didn't Badji go right at Gobert? He was so close that Gobert could not use his long arms.

 

[Tince]

Walker has been very productive this half.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You can trade everyone on the roster but Jabari. He can stay.

 

[Whyachi]

3rd foul on Badji
A for effort, i'm liking his defense and boards

 

[Chris Craig]

Toumani at the 5?

 

[blazerkor]

With Ibou and Duop both benched with foul trouble it seems like the Wolves might have some opportunities at the rim from now until the end of the half.

 

[blazerkor]

Toumani at the 5?

Calabro is a fool. Jabari is our small ball 5 not Toumani.

 

[Whyachi]

Gobert dunking all over small ball lineup

 

[blazerkor]

Calabro is a fool. Jabari is our small ball 5 not Toumani.

Actually on that last play Tou was obviously our 5 in that zone.

 

[Chris Craig]

Going to Gobert every time now

 

[blazerkor]

Going to Gobert every time now

They should. Why wouldn’t they have a feeding frenzy in the restricted area with who we have on the floor?

 

[Chris Craig]

They should. Why wouldn’t they have a feeding frenzy in the restricted area with who we have on the floor?

Cheap

 

[blazerkor]

Well at least we didn’t let them extend the lead in the second.

 

[blazerkor]

Cheap

Cheap and smart.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers had cut it to 9. Coach takes the centers out against Rudy & Kat... Blazers now down 21 at halftime.

Classic Billups stealth tank

They both had 3 fouls. It’s either choose to sit them now or have them foul out and be forced to play small down the stretch. Both bigs are rookies and can’t be trusted to stop fouling against crafty bigs like KAT and Gobert.

 

[Tince]

Ant has a ways to go in terms of handling the superstar treatment from defenses.

We get you don't like Billups, but had he left in a center who got their 4th foul, you would've been on him for leaving a guy in with 3 fouls.

 

[Tince]

2nd half spread is Minnesota -3.5.... thoughts?!?
