Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #30 BLAZERS VS JAZZ - DEC 26, 2024 - THURS - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

[PCmor7]

Scoot needed a game like that.

Hopefully he can build on it.

 

[B-Roy]

No shot lmfao

 

[illmatic99]

Looks like Scoot traveled. Oh well

He didn't. Pivot foot was planted.

 

[OR-84]

Just glad for a good game with some effort at least. Happy holidays to all and to all a good night!

 

[KingSpeed]

Stupid win.

Jazz out tanked us.

Can’t tell Scoot to not win.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That's great. If we are tanking, this is a team we can pass on the way to the bottom. It won't be easy to lose though, we will need some special strategies.

Coach used the usually successful tactics of playing Ant and Granit a lot but then he screwed up and played Avdija too much to get the loss.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

He didn't. Pivot foot was planted.

You are blind. his foot slid. that’s a travel
But glad it wasn’t called.

 

[blazerfan11]

Not putting in Shaedon for a final offensive possession is a bizarre decison

Bizarre is a good word for it.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is Bjorkgren 2-0 coaching the Blazers?

 

[B-Roy]

Story of the game is Bjorkgren having the balls to bench Ant and Grant in crunch time. I notice he got them to 30 minutes exactly then immediately yanked them for the rest of the game.

How often is a slide like that called, though?

Highest scoring 4th quarter of the season.

This is not a travel.

Never. Not a travel.

 

[bemac]

Scoot, Sharpe, Camara, and Avdija need to start, and they need to ride it until it works. Feel like they hold onto Ayton until Clingan can play big minutes.

 

[blazerfan11]

Never. Not a travel.

I remember Jordan sliding like 2 feet (it seemed) against the Blazers in the finals. That wasn't called.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Blazers undefeated when not coached by Billups......

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Both his feet slid/moved. The fundamentals of basketball that is a travel. If you don’t know then you obviously haven’t played much hoops. Which is fine. If you don’t know you don’t know.
but as I said, glad it wasn’t called.

It wasn’t a travel. Professional refs had a better view than you. You obviously haven’t reffed in the NBA before. If you don’t know, you don’t know.

insulting others while being this wrong is an interesting look. gtfo with that fundamentals of bball bullshit, this is the NBA. that is never ever ever called. not a travel.

Simmer down young fella. All I’m talking about is the fundamentals & rules of the game. I 100% agree with you that it’s never called. But it should be.

simmer down, while you call people blind and insult others' intelligence.

hypocrite much?

[Phatguysrule]

He's had a number of these games this year he's beyond awful. Just dribbling into turnovers and not even shooting smoothly. I don't remember this in prior years.

Might think he has a drug problem or family issue or some other major problems in his life.

Maybe just sharing the baby mama with Ingram and a new kid is it... I dunno

Coaching is killing the value of these players, IMO. They aren't helping, but everybody doesn't take such significant steps backwards without help from poor coaching.

As they should be.

Deni & Camara are the two best F on the team.

Ant and Shea are the two best guards... but tonight Simons was playing like crap

 

[Phatguysrule]

This is not a travel.

Definitely not a travel. Didn't drag his foot.

 

[GoZers]

Clingan can play big minutes now.

 

[blazerfan11]

Clingan can play big minutes now.

Yes, Clingan played 31 minutes in November against Minnesota.

I assume he can do that now.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Took the whole family to this one as one of their gifts. They were pumped with the outcome and said it was the best game they’ve ever been to. Granted, two of them are almost 9 and have only been to a handful of games. One of them was telling me during halftime that he was hoping for a win at the buzzer and Scoot delivered big time!

We got on the Jumbotron for the first time in my lifetime and I’ve been going to games for 30+ years. One of my twins has now been on it in back to back games that he attended. We all left the game happy and in good spirits… that’s what it’s supposed to feel like and I’m glad that my kids were able to experience that. Well worth the W during a season where I’m mostly hoping for losses.

Im also glad that Scoot, Shae and Deni were the catalysts that drove home the win and that’s exactly what we want to see during a season like this. Today was a great day to be this Blazer!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Can’t tell Scoot to not win.

True, he does that all on his own, most nights
