Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #1 - BLAZERS VS WARRIORS - 10/23/24 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM - KATU 2.2 - BLAZERVISION

[beast blazer]

Kris Murray is one of those players that wouldn't be in the NBA except for the GM who spent a 1st round pick on him.

 

[Labinot41]

Offense completely collapsed as soon as Scoot came in. The first 7 minutes were fun

 

[B-Roy]

This warriors team is huge

 

[Hoopguru]

Pretty deep team!
Scrappers too!

 

[Freshtown]

Scoot calming down

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Scoot playing a lot better.

 

[blazerfan11]

Avdija has 3 turnovers and 0 assists.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Blazers playing Ant and Scoot together.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers need to have practice where they work on passing. Alot if throwing the ball away on errant passes.

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant can't keep his hands on the ball

 

[beast blazer]

I got false hope when they didn't start Scoot that they'd relgate him to backup PG minutes, but looks like they plan to play him 30 minutes per game.

Cooper Flagg here we come.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Good: Scoot getting to the rim

Bad: He still can't finish

 

[blazerfan11]

Camara has improved a lot on his 3-point shooting. I wish they'd look to get him some open ones. He's 1-1 in this game.

Golden State is shooting threes and taking it to the hoop.

I don't know what the Blazers plan is.

 

[Hoopguru]

Looks like Stotts will happy as assistant for Kerr. He helped the Mavs get one as their offensive guru.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm watching this game and seeing that NBA.com says the Blazers only have 7 turnovers....WUT?

 

[Labinot41]

wtf were these Scoot rim attempts

 

[beast blazer]

wtf were these Scoot rim attempts

He needs to get better at his shot selection. He's playing like he's an offensive star.

 

[blazerfan11]

Is this Billups Ball? The offense looks like crap. Everyone dribbling shooting contested 2-pointers.

Golden State passing it around for open 3-pointers or going to the hoop.

 

[beast blazer]

The Blazers sure don't draw many fouls...

 

[blazerfan11]

Finally, Camara gets his 2nd shot of the game. 2-2 on threes. Scoot has taken 9 shots.

 

[Foxx]

These refs have been pretty God awful. I felt like we didn’t get it bad last year, thus hasn’t been the case

 

[Chris Craig]

Why can't Ayton pass a basketball?

 

[Foxx]

Why can't Ayton pass a basketball?

to be fair, as better options emerge I don’t think it’s a him problem lol.

“nobody better to pass to yet”

 

[julius]

For those who were worried about the tank not being in full effect...

 

[Stevenson]

Where is the game on TV? I have Comcast / Xfinity.

 

[PCmor7]

These are the Blazers I've gotten used to. Don't do the little things well. Let what should be short runs for the other team become longer runs because they get discouraged so quickly. Can't defend screens. Can't defend 3s. Make silly fundamental mistakes.

Other than that, we're pretty good.

 

[blazerfan11]

How did Jabari Walker get zero minutes while Grant is out there hucking up shots going 4-12, 0 for 4 on threes?

Grant and Scoot took the most and 2nd most shots going 7 for 21.

If that what this season is all about, Yikes.

 

[Chris Craig]

to be fair, as better options emerge I don’t think it’s a him problem lol.

“nobody better to pass to yet”

Not just him

Avdija, Scoot, Grant

So many passes without thought getting knocked loose by the Warriors.

 

[julius]

Finally, Camara gets his 2nd shot of the game. 2-2 on threes. Scoot has taken 9 shots.

Yeah, but Curry is 1-7! Scoot has 3 times as many makes as Curry does. Curry is a bum!

 

[Chris Craig]

Curry only 8 points, 0-4 from three. I'll take that.
