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

[Quatro44]

Sharp3!

 

[Everything Beagle]

0-8 when Clingan contests

 

[Mediocre Man]

Looked like an offensive foul, but no replay

 

[blazerfan11]

Scoot is doing fine, calm down.

the Offense that doesn't get the ball to Sharpe is a joke.

Not sure what other people are seeing that's positive.

 

[Quatro44]

Ok Scoot, layoff the pull up three

My expectation was we’d lose by 10-15… we’re severely outperforming that and Scoot’s 6 assists and 9 points are a big reason why.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Toonami Camera with the great acting!

 

[Quatro44]

Ok that was BS by Caruso

 

[illmatic99]

Dirty pos. Someone needs to deck this mfer

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I hope somebody nails Caruso before this game is over.

 

[Hoopguru]

Shae needs to move more w/o the ball. Standing waiting for the ball is stagnant.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Only down three with as nasty as this game has been? I’ll take it.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously. Wtf man. Was that this shoulder that Shaedon hurt?

Can Donovan lay his ass out please

 

[Quatro44]

15 turnovers, that enough for an entire game

 

[Mediocre Man]

Calabro- half time is about making those adjustments

MM- he realizes Chauncey is still our coach, right?

 

[blazerkor]

Just a sloppy game so far. Terrible spacing inside that has resulted in a ton of paint attempts that didn't really have a chance of going in. Shooting way better from outside.

 

[Irish Trader]

Point guard play first half terrible. Like chickens with there head cut off running around. You have to run with a purpose. Point guards not cutting close to screen to rub off defender. Movement has to be fluid with multiple screens

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why is everyone bitching about Caruso? Clean screen that Sharpe’s TEAMMATES didn’t call out

 

[Irish Trader]

I hope somebody nails Caruso before this game is over.

JG took a shot right after at Caruso.

 

[Quatro44]

They say defense travels is a good sign. But the blazers have no offense, so it can never travel.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I've been saying that OKC paid big bucks to sign a player like Clingan, but Clingan TOWERS over Hartenstein.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

JG took a shot right after at Caruso.

Yeah, I saw that. Good for Jerami.

 

[Everything Beagle]

OKC is literally 1-9 when Clingan directly contests their shot. Not just their center, not just in the key. The big guy is doing real work out there, and it’s not really being talked about. Don’t make me become Swish3 for Clingan.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

SGA is incredible - I've never seen somebody that height who's so slithery. BUT: Camara is giving him more fits than any defender I've seen give him... ever.

Nobody can make you do what you don't want to do

I think it surprised everyone, when Caruso, who had been laying on the floor for several seconds, suddenly popped up right in front of Sharpe.

Camara has really improved this year. He looks like he belongs on the court.

 

[Irish Trader]

DC continues to improve. Still needs to protect ball better when he gets his hands on it. He is getting hacked. He needs to do some more acting to get calls. DC a monster defender already.

He has always been a sneaky dirty player.

 

[PCmor7]

Despite having a horrible offense, we're remarkably still in this.

I long for the day when we incorporated more ball movement. When we play a good defensive team like this, the ball sticks in one place or with one guy too much.

But credit to the Blazers for being right there at half despite the turnover fest.
