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

[LayneStaley]

Looks like Ayton isn’t the answer. That’s the excuse I gave to get out of work today, and I felt guilty about it. Can’t imagine if they were paying me 30 mil per.

 

[Whyachi]

Grant up to 20, he's looking good.

 

[PCmor7]

Scoot strikes me as a low BBIQ player. Hopefully he develops some…

I thought this for his first month, then I saw signs he was getting it.

Then I see tonight and I just don't know what he is.

 

[Whyachi]

Jerami fueled Blazer run, 3 point game

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoot sits and the Blazers come right back

Do any other Blazers live near him?

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

Fluctuates between wow and wtf. Reminds me of Westbrook

 

[Whyachi]

Bridges blew a layup. Chauncey still screaming at cheating refs.

Sounds like the Blazers sent people out to get him and the ice was so bad, they were unsuccessful.

Sometimes it feels like Billups challenges are more based on showing the refs they were wrong than anything else.

 

[Whyachi]

Coach Billups getting ready to challenge. This is pure officiating corruption according to Blazers radio.

I think many times it’s player persuaded.

 

[Chris Craig]

Scumbag refs

 

[Whyachi]

Coach Vaughn wants a challenge. He also doesn't agree with these crummy refs.

He will probably be successful

 

[Whyachi]

BOOOOOO!!!
BOOOOOOOOO!!
these refs suck

Progression is not a straight line.

 

[Tince]

I think many times it’s player persuaded.

I'd like for it to be 95% persuaded by the assistant behind the bench who has the replay on the tablet.

 

[Tince]

Ant really struggling to make shots

 

[B-Roy]

Duop Reath is really good

 

[Tince]

 

[TBpup]

Based on the previous 3 calls, how does a fan not think the NBA is rigged and that Donaghy was the ONLY one. Every call in favor of the large market team. FT's, more than 2-1 in favor of the large market team in a tie ball game. Some of this stuff is flat out unbelievable.

Normally, I think it evens out, but this has been egregious.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nothing good has come from giving it to Reath wide open in the corner.

 

[Whyachi]

crunchtime, no holds barred

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Spencer abusing us.

 

[Tince]

Nothing good has come from giving it to Reath wide open in the corner.

 

[Tince]

Jerami Grant with a team high 8 rebounds!

 

[MickZagger]

I don’t think Bridges is meant to be a ‘go to scorer’

 

[Whyachi]

Grant cleaned the glass, Blazers up 2. Nets a chance to tie or take lead
