Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #32 - BLAZERS VS 76ERS - DEC 30, 2024 - MON - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

I only watched the first half, but a bunch of his early turnovers were trying to force passes in to Ayton.

There were three of those in about 10 seconds. I don't know if Deni got credited for the turnovers on all of them ... a couple of them were great passes and Ayton just didn't complete the catch. The passes were almost too good for him to handle. Wasn't expecting them.

@julius you really need to count to 5….step back and realize who you are trying to debate with. That dude is a straight clown and you are wasting your time FAMS!

Oh, I know. Sometimes I just hope that he'll start acting like an adult instead of doing the shtick he does on here.

There's nothing wrong with the occasional lob a few times a game, but I have never been a fan of force-feeding a center. Too many things can go wrong. I hated it when Dame did it with Nurk as well. A few times a game is great to keep the defense honest. But they seem to be overdoing it at times.

Portland's '4-headed-56M-C-rotation' didn't do a very good job stopping Embiid

When he's playing, and motivated, he is pert near unstoppable.

Granted, he has his moments where he turns into a jellyfish, but not last night.

sure

still, last night he had a season high in points, FG%, and TS%. Blazer bigs were a get-well card dropped in Embiid's mailbox. And, a half-year after investing a 7th pick in a supposed next-to-generational-paint-defending-rim-protecting-C, they only played him 8.5 minutes

Yeah watching Embiid break Toumani's ankle was something else

I've noticed he's been kinda crappy since he came back from injury. I think it's either still an issue, or he's crashed head first into the rookie wall.

 

[THE HCP]

Well, and this is just a pure guess, but I think it has something to do with he being a WABC?

#BAM

Scoot and Shaedon are a combined 4-13, and 1-8 from 3.

I guess maybe we spoke too soon.

They are young. We've done nothing to address their problems.

There will be more days like this.

What does fucking Clingan even do anymore?

It might get you a decent child support payment if you go bareback...
