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

Lebron played 80 games in his 2nd season and averaged 42 minutes per game.

If Scoot is playing well he should be playing heavy minutes.

A star player or hopeful star player should not be playing 12 minutes in a half, especially on a shitty team.

Scoot isn’t LeBron lol. LeBron getting 30 point triple doubles in his 22nd season. He’s different.

7 assists. This has to be a low for a half. that is on CB.

That's on missed shots

 

[B-Roy]

Monk hit the arm first

For real. Sometimes I wonder if people are even watching the game.

3s aren’t falling. That is how most assists are tallied,

Even if you read the box score, it’s obvious. We’ve only made 1 three all game.

 

[beast blazer]

I guess only being down 5 while shooting 8% from 3 is a good sign in a way?

The argument isn't that Scoot is Lebron. Not surprised anymore by this forum.

You said Scoot should be able to because LeBron was able to. That was your argument,

 

[blazerfan11]

No, that's your argument. That's fine. I have low expectations.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Ant and DA quitting at the end of the second...

 

[noknobs]

Only down 8, not bad considering we shot 1-13 on wide-open (mostly) three-pointers.

 

[KingSpeed]

Then why did you mention LeBron in your argument?

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we’re going to win. Threes will fall in second half.

 

[Quatro44]

Scoot, 100% from 3. Rest of team 0%

Ant and DA quitting at the end of the second...

Good luck for Billups modeling after his Pistons team with that effort.

 

[PCmor7]

Yucky ending to an OK 1H. We didn't play well but were right there ... and then we got sloppy.

I crushed Scoot for the first game but I think he's played pretty well since. I like the pace and the pressure he's putting on the other team. Got some productive flash from him tonight, which is a sign he's feeling comfortable out there.

Ayton's still giving me Nurk flashbacks this season. One good game. One OK game. Two awful games. Tonight, again, he doesn't look like he wants to be playing. Passing up 5-foot shots, not going after passes. Just ew.

Murray still can't shoot. Ant can't even play good defense when he's playing good defense; opposing scorers just don't respect him and consistently make tough shots when he's guarding.

Still in this. Just want to see us stick around and look a little sharper with the decision-making on the offensive end.

 

[B-Roy]

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

Conversely, we definitely know when Clingan is in the game, and so does the other team when they approach the hoop.

If he the most finesse big man ever? His few free-throw attempts have been cited as remarkably low.

 

[Cugel]

I actually am not! Just watched the 1q

 

[blazerfan11]

Would like to see more Grant and Simons corner threes, Avdija, not so much.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our Murray outplaying their Murray

 

[B-Roy]

I feel like the Kings are not even playing good defense. The Blazers keep driving into 5 guys in the paint because they’re so scared to shoot.

 

[KingSpeed]

I actually am not!

so don’t make baseless claims about cb

 

[KingSpeed]

Clingan please

 

[Cugel]

so don’t make baseless claims about cb

It’s not a baseless claim.

If Clingan stays healthy Ayton knows he’s trade bait around trade deadline.
