Game Thread 2023-24 Game #40 - BLAZERS VS NETS - WEDNESDAY - JANUARY 17, 2024 - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

BTW, another shaky officiating job. Grant got fouled twice on the one review they called out on him, and Ant continues to get the ghosting treatment when it comes to drawing fouls.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It's nice to win once in awhile.

 

[blazerkor]

Our team played hard and the refs didn't make it easy. The Nets were hitting their shots, besides free throws. Most of our wins this season have come when opponents were ice cold from the field. This was a quality win.

 

[illmatic99]

blow up the nets man. pretty sad to get swept by us lol

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot didn't play the whole fourth quarter

He was subbed in and out briefly.

Plus Dinwiddie flops and throws himself in the air and gets a call. Tisse gets injured and Bridges gets a bs call where no foul happened.

Wish I coulda made it, pipe burst flooding my lower level. :/

 

[beast blazer]

Almost 20% of our wins this season are against the Brooklyn Nets.

Poop Henderson ladies and gentlemen smh

It felt like it took years for Dame to get calls even on our home floor. Now we have to go through that again.

Just because we're tanking doesn't mean we need to keep getting jobbed by the refs. This crew was shaky in general.

 

[TYDame]

Chauncey not giving the ball to Grant this time lol

Looked like no one was in the 300 level

 

[beast blazer]

Nets players look devastated

They should perform the Hara-kiri ritual in the locker room.

 

[PCmor7]

Scoot didn't play the whole fourth quarter

He got in on one of the late Nets out-of-bounds plays, guarding the ball.

 

[beast blazer]

Poop Henderson ladies and gentlemen smh

Ironically, he was more efficient offensively tonight than he was in the game he scored 33.

 

[PCmor7]

Progression is not a straight line.

Progression is. Progress isn't. I'm not sure I see it from Scoot, in any event. I said early in the year and others made the observation tonight. For a guy who supposedly lives hoops, his innate feel for the game seems to be lacking.

 

[RR7]

Poop Henderson ladies and gentlemen smh

Dildo Crapani ladies and gentlemen.

I have not watched it yet, but I saw that Chauncey went with the starting lineup I have been hoping to see. Grant was listed at SF next to Walker.......and a backcourt of Brogdon and Ant. They complement one another

 

[BlazerBeav]

Figures. Decided it wasn't worth fighting through the conditions, and missed one of the better games of the season.

If we're trying to win games and we're healthy then I actually think our best starting lineup is Malcolm, Ant, Toumani, Jerami, DeAndre but I don't think that's our goal this season, I think the goal is trying to develop this team's future core. That being said, I fucking hate Ant playing with Scoot and with Shae, I think they're both worse when they're on the floor with him for whatever reason.

We'll see what this roster looks like in a few weeks and then we'll see if we start sitting everyone who can help the team win in order to tank.

 

[B-Roy]

I like Jabari Walker. I like Jabari Walker in the starting lineup. I like Jabari Walker playing 30 MPG.

We won the rebounding battle 41-33 tonight. Not sure when was the last time that happened. Even though Walker only had 6 rebounds the Blazers as a whole were able to secure more defensive rebounds with Walker in the game.

I don't know. Supposedly the team sent people out there to help Deandre get to Moda but they couldn't get to him. Maybe the dude lives up on some big ass hill that was like a sheet of ice. I'm assuming the team and Deandre would have made sure he was at the game if it were at all safely possible.

If you are referring to points per shot, Scoot was also more efficient than Anfernee Simons, who took 20 shots and scored 20 points.

Scoot took 6 shots and scored 7 points.

 

[PCmor7]

I see it as just growing pains as a rookie NBA PG.

Maybe. The level of fluctuation and the kinds of mistakes he makes vs. the plays he makes just concerns me.

I think he's referring to himself

Rebound assists as the broadcasters said or hockey rebounds or some shit.

Got it.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Yeah, not judging Ayton - I'm on the east side and didn't chance it.
