Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #4 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - OCTOBER 28, 2024 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM - KATU 2.2 - BLAZERVISION

[KingSpeed]

Ayton is on track to play 37 minutes but you wouldn’t even know he played if you’re watching.

Because we’re bored with him. In fact, he is leading us in scoring. And I’m watching,

 

[wizenheimer]

just tuned in...Blazer time-out...5:35 left in 3rd Q

Simons-Ayton-Grant all have played 25 minutes; Clingan played 5. Those 3 have taken 35 of Portland's 54 shots

is this really what people want to see?

 

[Quatro44]

Scoot Scoot

 

[illmatic99]

jabari should not have the kinda green light he has to shoot threes.

i like his sub for rupes

 

[MickZagger]

Scoot’s looked decent. Advija hasn’t done shit since he got here. Walker is a borderline NBA player and our perimeter defense is awful

 

[Cugel]

Why is Walker shooting a 3? That is just stupid. More quality bbiq

 

[Quatro44]

No one can finish a play when Scoot sets them up

 

[KingSpeed]

Why is Walker shooting a 3? That is just stupid. More quality bbiq

He was open

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot should’ve kicked it to Simons there

 

[B-Roy]

This lineup is stupid.

 

[Mediocre Man]

My guess is an injury, but why has Clingan only played 8 minutes?

 

[Cugel]

Quality game right there.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot should’ve kicked it to Simons there

1 for 6 on threes. Ant been terrible.

 

[Cugel]

My guess is an injury, but why has Clingan only played 8 minutes?

Because he doesn’t shoot 3s. Chauncy only wants players that shoot, and miss, 3s.

 

[Quatro44]

Lookin like a loss

 

[Mediocre Man]

In game in depth analysis

Yuck

 

[MickZagger]

Why is Ayton still in?

 

[Quatro44]

Multiball!!!

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Really wanted Billups to be a good coach but he’s not.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Kings announcers very complimentary of Scoot.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

So lost on why Clinigan only gets 10 minutes. The games Billups plays with young guys gets old. News flash they aren’t going to get better sitting on the bench

 

[Quatro44]

Banton is not a free throw shooter

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Not sure why it took until 3 mins left in the game to put in Clingan...

Inflating a "good" Ayton game?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Scoot’s looked decent. Advija hasn’t done shit since he got here. Walker is a borderline NBA player and our perimeter defense is awful

I’m a bit disappointed in Walker so far this season. He really hasn’t shown any improvement.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Interesting that he took Banton out; he kind of looked like he wasn't interested in going in the game for the first time with four minutes left.

 

[B-Roy]

Rupert garbage time winner

 

[Foxx]

Scoot again creating and maintaining much momentum. The crows slow cookin hard

 

[wizenheimer]

Kris Murray outscored Keegan Murray

You didn't mention that Simons Ayton Grant are taking up 90 million of our payroll, so 2/3rd of our cap.

But we had to resign them or we would "lose an asset for nothing" I've been repeatedly told.

Others say we need to hold off trading Grant for an unprotected FRP even if offered so we can later try to get more.

I'd rather see them all gone tomorrow, but I doubt any are moved until the summer, or perhaps never.

We have 78 more games to watch and complain about them...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Honestly, I think Clingan is on a minutes restriction. It's the only explanation for his lack of minutes.
