Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #53 - BLAZERS @ TWOLVES - 2/8 - SATURDAY - 5:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

[Natebishop3]

The tank is back on!

 

[Natebishop3]

They were without their four best players. There is no excuse for this loss.

Well yeah…. The refs.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

How does a team lose to the Wolves with Edwards sitting out?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why is Grant in the game ?

Billups are you a fucking idiot ? -- NM -- actions answer that question so -- YEP

I don't know what he was doing tonight, but he sure wasn't coaching.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well yeah…. The refs.

Still

See there’s these rules, and the rules seemed to apply to the blazers, but they did not apply to Minnesota.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I officially despise the t wolves.

Think about me. My g-d brother calls me to brag and then claims the only bad call in the game was when the refs called a kicked ball on MN that wasn't.

[blazerfan11]

Would have been a good night to give Kris Murray more minutes. And Scoot.

 

[wizenheimer]

Ayton 32 minutes....Clingan 6

Hang up

Hell I wouldn't have answered

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Trap game. What happens from here?

Fml having all three of Grant, Ayton, and Ant on the floor together.

Yuck.

Let's just go back to tanking!

 

[blazerfan11]

Ayton 32 minutes....Clingan 6

What? Didn't you see Ayton playing defense? Me either.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm actually a fan of Chauney's but he needs to figure out when to follow his scheduled rotation and when to stick with the hot hand. You just can't put Shaedon on the bench when he's hitting on all cylinders. Let the dude keep going until he misses a couple in a row and get him his rest then. That pissed me off. Shaedon does share some of the blame for letting it take him out of that zone but he had 13 points to lead the team and had done it on I think 7 shots. He ended with 14 points on 14 shots.

It's pretty easy. If a player is playing for shit, switch it up.

Saw him do a lot of standing and watching.

Was pissed they didn't call an and one here:

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Grant was brutal, again. Forces horrible shots and makes risky turnovers with no benefit even if they were caught.

At least we only have to watch him until 2028, when he'll be earning $36 million.

That's the problem when you're obligated to play the veterans. Too many mouths to feed. We should be feeding Shae, Scoot, and Ant the most.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Was pissed they didn't call an and one here:

Yeah Scoot D has been impressive. Wasn't bad earlier this season but has got even better the past month.

 

[Natebishop3]

The refs kept them in the game and then they made a run at the right time. But we should have been blowing them out.

 

[blazerfan11]

That's the problem when you're obligated to play the veterans. Too many mouths to feed. We should be feeding Shae, Scoot, and Ant the most.

And Clingan. only 6 minutes of playing time, 5 rebonds and 3 blocks. (Where is spell check when you need it?)

At a point we're going to have to give up on playing Grant, right? I mean I think we're well past where him being forced minutes/shots fools any GM to think he had good value. Would be better to just consider him a sunk cost and stuck him in whatever role is best for our team.

 

[blazerkor]

How many Ant on five plays were there. I fucking hate the way Ant kills our flow on both ends of the game. Dude thinks he’s Dame on offense but isn’t close and then he definitely plays like a weaker version of Dame on D. Not good.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

And Clingan. only 6 minutes of playing time, 5 rebonds and 3 blocks.

Kind of need to combine him and Timelord though. It was Timelord's game to play backup C until he had to sit with the knee injury.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Was pissed they didn't call an and one here:

He should be getting 35 minutes a night minimum.

The thing about Jerami is that I don’t see any fall off in his athleticism. Dude just can’t hit any fucking shots.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Yeesh.

 

[riverman]

Can't win a clankfest and tonight was a clankfest...get the next one!

 

[blazerkor]

Oh and I didn’t think it was possible at the beginning of the season but this was a perfect example of a trap game.
