Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #13 - BLAZERS VS TWOLVES - NOVEMBER 13, 2024 - WEDNESDAY - 7PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

[EGame]

Sharp and Clingan are a future I can get behind. No need for simons and aytion anymore thanks

 

[illmatic99]

where are all the people here who were complaining about how shae did not have a killer instinct

LOSING DOES NOT GUARANTEE FLAGG

Winning definitely hurts our chance of getting him though!

You mean last year when he usually shied away from these kinds of situations?

 

[LayneStaley]

Pretty obvious we need to build around Sharpe/Clingan. Trade whoever else we need to to surround those two.

 

[KingSpeed]

48 hours of fun basketball? More like 27, Kevin.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Clingan really had a coming out party!

 

[Chris Craig]

Hell yeah

Swept the Twolves at home

Beautiful game from Shaedon

Beautiful game from Clingan


The future is bright!

 

[EGame]

Also, I will always take wins like this seeing our future play games like this. Not like being the worst team in the nba guarantees the first pick, just ask the pistons the last couple of years

 

[B-Roy]

I see Clingan is already converting some draft night skeptics here

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot is in the core too.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

shaedon did this to minny in minny his rookie year when we were tanking.

Yeah was thinking of that!

 

[julius]

But Cooper….

Dude, there are still like 69 (ha!) games left.

Also, they *purposely* tanked the last 3 years and it didn't work out in their favor. Gotta lose the right way to win the lotto.

 

[blazerkor]

I'd like to see us go get Isaiah Stewart to be the small ball 5 to be the complementary piece to Clingan.

 

[e_blazer]

I hear the sweet sound of tankers weeping tonight.

 

[Natebishop3]

We need to dump some vets. Need the minutes.

Ugh fuck that guy.

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a team I can cheer for! Clingan is a freak of nature...he's the ghost of Mutombo!

 

[James lamphear]

Sharpe show me a lot the last 5 minutes of game. He put this team on his shoulders to will them to a win that showed me a lot. Look like the big man had of hell of a game. Good win!

 

[LayneStaley]

Scoot is in the core too.

True, but he’s not as important as Sharpe/Clingan. I loved what I saw from Barton/Sharpe.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Feels like the team we've been robbed of seeing for the last year and a half. Can't wait for Ayton and Ant to be gone.

 

[Cugel]

There will be plenty of losses. Ok to win a couple against a strong team imho.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

I haven’t been this excited since the Roy/Aldridge days

 

[EGame]

I hear the sweet sound of tankers weeping tonight.

I will always take wins like this where any combo of Scoot, Shae and Clingan play a huge role in why we won. But I hate meaningless wins where Ant, Ayton and Grant just play iso ball and take stupid shots that may or may not go in

 

[bemac]

I'd like to see us go get Isaiah Stewart to be the small ball 5 to be the complementary piece to Clingan.

Um, we have a guy Named Williams

 

[noknobs]

Wow, it's crazy how much better we look as a team when Simons/Ayton don't play.

 

[riverman]

Murray is a great bench player

 

[KingSpeed]

Hawks made the 7th seed in the play-in and got the #1 pick.

 

[B-Roy]

Was pretty obvious.

Aside from the 8 blocks, I thought the most telling thing was how well Clingan looked playing hedge defense on Ant Edwards. 3 games ago you couldn’t get Clingan to move past the 3 point line on defense. Dude learns quickly and is so teachable.

 

[PCmor7]

Wow.

Back to back over a really good team.

Shae played like a star tonight. Bodes well for the future.

What can you say about Clingan, who out-Goberted Gobert. I like his chemistry, too, with Scoot, who looks like he's close to making a step forward if he's content to let the game come to him -- his mistakes all come when he tries to be too spectacular, but, in a poised game, there aren't many PGs he can't outathlete.

The perimeter defense, that's frustrated me all year and even into the last couple years, was on point.

Team got a standing O and deserved it.
