Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #5 - BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - OCTOBER 30, 2024 - WED - 7:30 PM - KATU 2.2 - BLAZERVISION

[MickZagger]

I’m seeing a lot to like from the youngin’s.

I wish management would fully commit.

 

[inconceivable]

We may have something in Rupert…

Working. Unable to watch the game. What has he done? I thought it was established he was trash

Clingan drills a 3 and goes to the Bench?

 

[Kano John]

I’d rather have Clingan in there instead of Ayton

That's probably why they sat him early in the 1st half - to save him for the end of the game.

He's the youngest player on the roster. Did someone declare him trash?

 

[illmatic99]

not a fan of the robo sub to ayton when DC had momentum

He’s looked great out in the open court. Good instincts. Long. Only 20 years old.

He scored 7 straight points

 

[blazerfan11]

Great Job Billups. Just take the air out of the sails.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Best player this game

He's been better than our "starting" point guard all season and regularly our best player.

 

[MickZagger]

Camara locking up Harden

 

[blazerfan11]

I was going to give Billups credit for playing Rupert, then Billups yanked Rupert out of the game so Grant could commit a foul.

 

[Quatro44]

Toumani pick pocking

 

[Bingo Bango]

I like Camara, but he doesn’t seem that interested in rebounding, does he?

 

[blazerfan11]

NBA coaches are so frustrating. They're like Robots.

 

[MickZagger]

not a fan of the robo sub to ayton when DC had momentum

I hated it too. But to be fair Clingan looked winded.

 

[MickZagger]

Harden’s always been one of the best bounce passers.

lost art.

 

[B-Roy]

Ayton Ayton Ayton literally useless

 

[blazerfan11]

Rupert was 3-4 (7 points) before being taken out for 3-13 (8 points) Grant.

 

[Chris Craig]

Ayton hurting us.

 

[B-Roy]

Our center just needs to set screens and roll. Not fucking slip into postups.

 

[inconceivable]

Honest question. Do we want to win this game? I thought what we want is to see the young fellas improve but not pile up wins

 

[blazerfan11]

Billups nipped that Rupert "problem" right in the bud. Reminds me of Nate McMillan.

 

[HailBlazers]

I like Camara, but he doesn’t seem that interested in rebounding, does he?

Too busy playing defense harder than anyone and guarding the oppositions best player

 

[illmatic99]

entire clipper offensive strategy is to target Ant on d

 

[illmatic99]

nice, well done Ant!

 

[BigGameDamian]

We may have something in Rupert…

 

[blazerfan11]

I can't believe Ayton didn't lose the ball.

 

[julius]

Honest question. Do we want to win this game? I thought what we want is to see the young fellas improve but not pile up wins

I want them to win when they deserve to win. I also want them to know they have the ability to win games, as it builds character and leads to good habits.
Plus, I think tanking on purpose is what cost them higher picks.

 

[MickZagger]

An early season win streak might lead to Simons and Grant being traded.

I’m all for it.

 

[Quatro44]

Clippers FT shooting might ruin the tanking
