Game Thread 2023-24 Game #39 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - JANUARY 14, 2024 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

[crandc]

At least worth watching.

 

[Bingo Bango]

I see trades coming soon. We’ve got some deadweight that needs to be cleared out if our B team can contend with the Suns’ A team.

 

[42N8Bounce]

I like the hustle from Henderson tonight. Triple-Double watch. 31 pts, 9 ast, and 7 reb.

 

[maxiep]

Grant and Brogdon not playing because they’re getting traded tomorrow?

Don't forget Thybulle.

 

[maxiep]

Is this a tanking line up?

Any lineup we put on the floor is a tankling libeup.

 

[beast blazer]

Some have pointed out how checked out Jerami Grant has seemed lately....

 

[illmatic99]

Improving his rim efficiency has to be # 1 on Scoot's to do list.

He's 7 for 21 today on two point shots. Once he figures out how to finish, so many things will open up for him.

I haven't been watching only checking the box score but at one point scoot had 20 and ten assists why'd they take away one of his assists?

 

[Whyachi]

"We made the other team's starters play the entire game."... i heard it on Blazers Edge last month. An incredible accomplishment. Portland is wearing out the entire league!

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah, there better be a trade announced tonight/tomorrow because this roster just makes way more sense without Jerami and Malcolm and they in theory would bring a good amount of value back (Tisse as well).

 

[maxiep]

Ant is our new Z-Bo. Puts up huge numbers on a losing team.

 

[riverman]

Respectable effort by the G league allstars tonight. Rupert, Scoot, Jabari, Khris, Duop all really impressed me. Simons had a better game tonight too.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well damn

 

[blazerkor]

I haven't been watching only checking the box score but at one point scoot had 20 and ten assists why'd they take away one of his assists?

33, 9 and 7 ain't too bad though. Sure the scoring could have been more efficient but he only had 3 turnovers with all of that usage.

He missed a lot of floaters also on which he had got himself pretty open.

 

[Tince]

Shouldn't have lost that game, we were the better team.

Poor substituion patterns, too slow on timeouts, taking out the hot hand... this one is on Billups!

 

[blazerkor]

Ant is our new Z-Bo. Puts up huge numbers on a losing team.

Ant is our Z-Bo because he's basically wasted here and once we trade him he'll realize his potential. I love Ant but unless they want to build a roster around him that looks like what the Nets have, I don't know what we're doing with him.

 

[Bingo Bango]

Some have pointed out how checked out Jerami Grant has seemed lately....

I’ve noticed it ever since he’s been a Blazer.

 

[B-Roy]

Didn’t watch but Scoot took 31 shots???? Were they good shots at least?

 

[beast blazer]

I'm wondering why Scoot puts up 31 shots. Michael Jordan only averaged 23 per game over the course of his career.

 

[illmatic99]

think it's glaringly obvious what is holding him back

 

[Mediocre Man]

31 shots?

 

[Bingo Bango]

I noticed the same thing.

 

[illmatic99]

I'm wondering why Scoot puts up 31 shots. Michael Jordan only averaged 23 per game over the course of his career.

it was circumstance. he didn't force more than like 3 or 4 of those

 

[illmatic99]

31 shots?

i see we have multiple people here in here who apparently only saw the box and didn't bother watching.

 

[beast blazer]

Looks like Nassir Little got taken out of the rotation for them?

 

[blazerkor]

Scoot was just really aggressive tonight and I don't mind it at all.

 

[Whyachi]

Ant is our new Z-Bo. Puts up huge numbers on a losing team.

Anfenee doesn't sucker punch teammates, assault strippers, sell drugs, or run a disgusting dog fighting racket. Simons as the team's main gunner is perfectly acceptable.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Didn’t watch but Scoot took 31 shots???? Were they good shots at least?

I thought yes, they were mostly good shots.

 

[noknobs]

It's amazing Scoot had 9 assists considering all the wide open bricks his teammates shot. He could have easily had more than 15.

Good games by Rupert and Murray relative to my expectations.

It would be easy to criticize Simons. So I will. I am so sick of all his dribbling, Lillard-wannabe 3-point attempts, all his dribbling, stupid passes, all his dribbling and horrific defensive instincts. If we can trade him for anything of value I am all in at this point. I'm sure he's a good guy but I'm over it.
