Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #16 - NBA CUP - BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOV 22, 2024 - FRI - 5:00 PM - KATU, CHARGE, BV

[B-Roy]

Sharpe is horrible defensively....he's got a lot to work on.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Clingan better get his one block quick cuz he'll only be on the court for 10 minutes tonight

 

[illmatic99]

just went to make a call and this went from a tie game to -9. wtf just happened

 

[Mediocre Man]

How do you shoot 35% from the FT line?

 

[Dozer]

That’s it! Blame the coach!

Wait. Did I just help you beat me in the game I plan on winning?

 

[Cugel]

Horrible offense and zero 3pt defense. Nobody can buy a bucket.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I don't think we're beating the spread tonight, guys.

Welcome to POR

 

[blazerfan11]

The First Rule of Chauncey's offense is that there is no offense.

 

[B-Roy]

Horrible offense and zero 3pt defense. Nobody can buy a bucket.

Sharpe basically allowed 3 straight scoring possessions on his own.

 

[PCmor7]

What the heck was Clingan doing back in the game so quick with 2 fouls?

Why can't fundamentally-sound (lol) Kris Murray make FTs?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Clingan better get his one block quick cuz he'll only be on the court for 10 minutes tonight

For ABSOLUTELY no reason whatsoever, complaining about Clingan seems the way to go tonight

 

[Everything Beagle]

I have to admit, I'm tempted to blame the coaching staff for our complete lack of fundamentals.

 

[blazerfan11]

Welcome to POR

Who shoots 35% from the free throw line?

 

[Everything Beagle]

I'm just making a joke; the foul situation is ludicrous tonight. I actually wasn't blaming DC per se. He's a rookie, and his faults will be because of inexperience.

Chauncey Billups, on the other hand...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Welcome to POR

Was at game 1, but thank you

 

[Cugel]

This one ain’t looking good. POR doesn’t need to tank; it’s a built in feature

 

[blazerfan11]

Why can't the Blazers just hand the ball to Sharpe well outside the 3-point line? There is no need to make a contested pass.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Oh good we've given up on defense too.

 

[B-Roy]

The whole team is kinda sulking again cause things aren't going their way.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Quick takes from game so far :

DC is getting hosed but he is a rookie so I guess that is to be expected but at least one of those fouls maybe 2 were kind of BS
IF the team was not wanting a high lotto pick i would be begging for Billups to be fired cause I am SO SO tired of him. -- with a better coach this team would prolly win 4 to 8 more games then with Billups
I believe some of the players have already given up in this game and that is on the player but I also put that on Billups too

We're gonna solve that "several teams worse than us" problem yet!

Nice

 

[Jayblaze]

Oh good we've given up on defense too.

Well with Simons back u know our defense effort was gonna be bad

 

[B-Roy]

Deni one man team right now.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Deni one man team right now.

He forgot to tank.

 

[illmatic99]

deni is so much better as a lead ball handler. i love his creation

 

[Chris Craig]

It's the whole team. They have just given up as a group. Look like they don't give two shits to be out there.

 

[illmatic99]

cant say for certain, but there's like a general malaise around ant. i don't see any joy when he's out there.

 

[Everything Beagle]

CTC baby. Losing leads to nihilism.
