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

[julius]

Thanks for proving you don’t know what you’re talking about.

He's put together good games before, usually 2 or 3. His issue is keeping it up and not going from solid performance to being invisible on the court and not a detriment to the team.

He needs to string together 5-6 games in a row (or 5 out of 7 games) where he's playing like this. Not saying he has to scored 19 points and have 10 assists to 1 turnover type numbers though.

You were saying?

Rough night for Avdija

I saw that post. I’m saying this game ain’t over yet and Scoot’s been fine.

 

[Quatro44]

The Blazers got a little full of themselves after the last 2 wins, imho.

If the game were closer, then I would agree with this. I just have not been happy with Chauncey’s effort even though I tend to joke about it a lot.

 

[KingSpeed]

And who says he needs to string games together? Stupid take.

 

[julius]

He's 0-4 from 3, and Shaedon is 1-8.

That is not "fine". They both went away from their strengths. It's ok to admit you're wrong about something, you don't always have to come off as a smug know it all Eric.

How do you know that? You don’t know how the team thinks. Your opinion probably reflects you getting full of yourself.

Shooting isn’t the only aspect of the game that matters. But Sharpe is 4/6 from 2 and Scoot is 2/3 from 2. Why are you handpicking 3 point shooting as the only stat that matters?

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot is LEADING EVERY PLAYER IN THE GAME in assists, but sure he’s having a bad game.

because made baskets help when you try to outscore someone.

 

[PCmor7]

Hearing Alaa Abelnaby doing color for the Sixers telecast, I keep feeling like the dad from "The Wonder Years" is calling the game.

Scoot also HAS NO REBOUNDS IN THE GAME, but sure he's leading the assists!

 

[KingSpeed]

It’s not the only thing that matters. And they shot great from 2 point range. Fuck anyone who thinks Scoot has to prove himself to us with an arbitrary 5-6 game streak.

So you think rebounding is more important than assists for a PG? You’re digging a hole for yourself.

Uh, if he can’t consistently produce, you can’t build/depend on him.

I’m thrilled when he has a good/great game but I don’t expect it; he hasn’t shown a reason to have that kind of expectation.

Think Nic Batum vs Dame. Nic had occasional great games but you expected more from Dame because he consistently produced.

Yes, he does need to consistently produce to be anything other than a role player who sometimes goes off.

 

[julius]

So you think rebounding is more important than assists for a PG? You’re digging a hole for yourself.

I'm making fun of how you cherry pick stats to prove your point instead of just going "yeah, he didn't really have a good game tonight".

It's as if you think admitting a player didn't have a good game will get you in trouble.

 

[AldoTrapani]

What does fucking Clingan even do anymore?

 

[Strenuus]

It’s not the only thing that matters. And they shot great from 2 point range. Fuck anyone who thinks Scoot has to prove himself to us with an arbitrary 5-6 game streak.

God damn this is so rich coming from you. I got a good laugh. Thank you!

Now I gotta go see the score cause I forgot they even played today lol.

Yeah. If he's good 2 out of every 10 games, that's enough. Apparently.

 

[Strenuus]

Dude led the entire game with 7 assists and:

*checks notes*

6 points. In 24 minutes. On 2/7 shooting.

He's not the reason we lost, but damn he didn't really help either.

No one helped. Lol. Well except advija

I wonder how many times over the next 2 years people will transpose the v and the d in Avdija. Over/under at 774?

13 Blazers played, and 9 of them only had 1 rebound, or less. If rebounding is about effort.....yikes!

I wonder when the last time was a Blazer had 10 turnovers?

 

[THE HCP]

@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!

 

[handiman]

That dude is a straight clown and you are wasting your time FAMS!

Just a clown, actually.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Watch scoot go be trash for the next 15-20 games

 

[tlongII]

Avdija with 10 TO’s. Don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Whatever happened to Clingan?

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

 

[Mediocre Man]

Philadelphia looks like they're a top 3 team, Portland looks like a Chauncey Billups coached team.

This almost got a like. So true

Alaa Abelany. Said one of the great lines in history. Asked about Duke’s academic requirements, he said “The only way I can make 5 A’s at Duke is to spell my name”

 

[PCmor7]

Avdija with 10 TO’s. Don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

I think Shae had a 10-turnover game last season when he was forced to play PG early in the year.

 

[ant]

Avdija with 10 TO’s. Don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

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