Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #37 - BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - JAN 9, 2025 - THURS - 4:30 PM -CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

[PCmor7]

Quality loss. A lot of good except about the last 8 minutes.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Ant chucking a horrible three and air balling it with a wide open Shaedon RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot should be finishing this game.

agreed, him and clingan with sharpe/deni/camara.

the Ant isos were both predictable and miserable.

 

[HailBlazers]

Def the refs fault

 

[B-Roy]

That loss matters. Brooklyn passed us in lotto standings yesterday.

 

[blazerkor]

Just can't stomach the Ant on 5 possessions. I get it that we got a bunch of points off of them but we've got to have some plays we can call besides supposed ISOs with bad spacing.

I'm happy the guys competed but they let up big time during the last 3:30 or so of the game. We need losses but not with Ant hogging the ball as much as he did down the stretch.

ANT was not the issue -- this loss is 50 % on our idiot coach and 50% on the refs who ate the whistle when the Blazers had the ball -- PERIOD

The lack of passing and lack of spacing on offense can be blamed easily on Chauncey but there were too many Ant on 5 possessions. We didn't have one player with more than 4 assists.

Besides that. We haven't done much to build on the momentum of Scoot's confidence and to have him play in crunch time regularly. And you wonder why his development has been stunted.

 

[Bingo Bango]

But thank god the loss is a good thing.

Dream on. Portland will pick another bust in the lottery and nothing will change. But hey, they can tank next year, too. It never ends in Portland.

Would be useful if the season ended then.

That’s a funny way to spell Simons

TF GAME YOU WATCHIN

he literally gave away the 4th into Dallas favor

Camara deserved free throws

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas an 18-2 run to close the game....yikes!

snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

 

[Phatguysrule]

Good outcome. Play the young guns more if possible.

 

[crandc]

Fuck. Collapse.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Scoot with 20 on 7 FGA… that’s gotta be a positive. Especially going 12/12 at the line.

 

[illmatic99]

Kris Murray is a rotational player.

Kris Murray is a rotational player.

You would have won good money on that prediction less than a year ago.

I was the only one who said this!!

 

[kjironman1]

I hate that I'm watching Blazer games and over the last 5 minutes I'm rooting for the other team to get the win. I don't like the Dallas Mavericks at all and I still had to.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I was the only one who said this!!

WRONG

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

@Chris Craig pretty sure you got a game off and this should have been game 37. Then i followed suit in the predictions game. Lol!

 

[kjironman1]

Kris Murray is a rotational player.

I doubt he stays in the league at this point. End of bench practice player on a good team. I guess he will be fine while a Blazer but my bet is eventually he ends up a throw in piece on a trade then gets waived.

 

[THE HCP]

Three straight Ant possessions without success? Then Sharpe has to try and take someone off the dribble. The coach should be creating better opportunities.

Or the players need to do a better job of doing what they’re told?

 

[Phatguysrule]

Screw it. Let's just get new players.

 

[THE HCP]

12-0 run and no t/o!
got to love it.

check that 15-0 and he calls a fucking t/o. what other losing coach in the league endures a 10+ run w/o a timeout?

What other team has so little talent that they can ALLOW a 15-0 run?

 

[THE HCP]

At least a loss is a good thing

Agreed. So why the FUCK does everybody complain every night?

 

[Phatguysrule]

What other team has so little talent that they can ALLOW a 15-0 run?

Apparently there are six or seven others with worst records than us...
