Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #15 - BLAZERS @ THUNDER - NOVEMBER 20, 2024 - 5:00 PM PST - KATU - CHARGE - BV

[Everything Beagle]

Yeah. what's the latest run?

Unknown, captain.

We need to get Clingan back in and I’m not kidding.

 

[blazerfan11]

Again, why is Sharpe not touching the ball? This is asinine.

 

[Cugel]

Still not judging him until he’s 23

I know . This is getting hard to watch rhough

 

[e_blazer]

Man, how do they get away with so many strips?

They have a better record so the refs give them the benefit of the doubt.

He’s doing way better than last season. He isn’t amazing out there but he’s also not dribbling it off his foot.

 

[Mediocre Man]

This is an absolutely ugly ass game to watch. Chauncey has no idea how to coach against a team where you have to pass and not dribble

 

[Everything Beagle]

Maybe because OKC game planned for him?

 

[blazerfan11]

Absolutely atrocious possessions by the Blazers.

That sounds stupidly correct. The NBA protects the league darlings.

 

[blazerfan11]

More like the Blazers lack a game plan.

 

[blazerfan11]

If the Blazers really want to get Sharpe the ball, it's pretty easy. Get it to him around half court. Having him stand in the corner is just stupid.

 

[Everything Beagle]

More like the Blazers lack a game plan.

They always lack a game plan. The only variable that changes is the opponent.

 

[Everything Beagle]

That sounds stupidly correct. The NBA protects the league darlings.

I did that meta-analysis on Blazers vs Opponent FTA over all fifty years of the team and we are a -3FTA on average for our entire existence.

 

[Quatro44]

Thunder knocking down every 3

 

[Quatro44]

I do like the Scoot lobs, it’s nice he can throw those.

 

[blazerfan11]

Scoot should just take open threes. He looks terrible dribbling into the paint.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Clingan being a +1 tonight isn’t an accident. He’s making a difference out there.

 

[Cugel]

This is an absolutely ugly ass game to watch. Chauncey has no idea how to coach against a team where you have to pass and not dribble

Note how OKC calls a timeout immediately after a short POR run because of miscommunication on defense

It must be nice having a coach

 

[blazerkor]

Don't like what I've seen in regards to Shaedon so far tonight. He hasn't seemed to want to assert himself and his teammates haven't really been looking to set him up to get going.

The paint is a nightmare right now; they need to establish other folks to give him space to work first.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Okay I am joining the Mediocre Man game. Looks like it might be the coach in a runaway!

 

[Quatro44]

Possession like that makes is seem it will be OKCs night

 

[Everything Beagle]

Scoot with 5 assists in 16 minutes tonight.
OKC now 0-6 when Clingan contests them.

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah the spacing definitely hasn't been there for any of our guys to operate comfortably, maybe with the exception of Banton.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Our Euro players are getting made fools of out there. Please throw normal passes.

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe should have the ball immediately. Scoot having it is a waste of the shot clock.

Scoot is doing fine, calm down.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Shae!
