Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #7 - BLAZERS @ SUNS - NOVEMBER 2, 2024 - 7:00 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

[KingSpeed]

Banton is a +19

 

[B-Roy]

Boy, Avdija really can't make layups can he?

 

[KingSpeed]

You gotta be kidding me. And why was Banton taken out?

 

[Foxx]

Ant is anti clutch

 

[KingSpeed]

Boy, Avdija really can't make layups can he?

Horrible

 

[blazerfan11]

Avdija tried to finger roll instead of layup. Very odd.

 

[MickZagger]

Advija secures the loss.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ant is anti clutch

He was the best clutch scorer in the NBA last season bizarrely.

 

[Foxx]

Advija secures the loss.

Deni and Simons have been holding us back this year

 

[blazerfan11]

If Simons is a veteran, shouldn't he know the score and clock situation? That was a JR Smith move.

 

[blazerfan11]

Too bad that shot by Banton rolled around the rim and didn't go in.

 

[Chris Craig]

That sucks

 

[KingSpeed]

All our starters finished in the +.

 

[Chris Craig]

Deni and Simons have been holding us back this year

Yeah, it's been ugly

 

[Natebishop3]

At least it was a fun ending.

 

[KingSpeed]

Too bad that shot by Banton rolled around the rim and didn't go in.

Yeah. That was exciting for a second.

 

[Natebishop3]

Avdija tried to finger roll instead of layup. Very odd.

Or a dunk lol

 

[Chris Craig]

Or a dunk lol

Yeah just fucking dunk it

 

[B-Roy]

Or a dunk lol

Beal was kind of holding him.

Still, I don't think I've ever seen a 6'9 player worse at making shots at the rim.

 

[Chris Craig]

Booker?

Not really?

 

[KingSpeed]

Only 6 Blazer turnovers.

 

[Blazinaway]

Yeah, it's been ugly

Simons much more so IMO

 

[blazerkor]

Deni and Simons have been holding us back this year

Yeah if I was Jerami I'd be so pissed at them... wait a minute, he's been pure shit as well.

We're going to lose, the only thing that kills me about this is that we're losing tonight with Ant, Jerami and Deandre who are all known commodities in this league taking over 50% of our shots and only shooting 31.7% from the field in a combined 109 minutes of playing time that could have gone to guys who need experience.

Shades of Hezonja?

 

[Chris Craig]

Shades of Hezonja?

Yep.

A lot of people were excited to get him and then he was nothing.

 

[riverman]

Banton is a spark plug! He's going to be a 6 man of the year one day.

 

[Freshtown]

Simons and jerami do not play winning styles of basketball.

 

[blazerkor]

Yep.

A lot of people were excited to get him and then he was nothing.

I don't know if you're talking about Jerami or Deandre but I have the same response about both of them. A team and it's fans should be excited to get either of those guys as role players but if they're going to try and pretend like they're one of THE GUYS that win games for teams then that's when they seem like nothing.

 

[handiman]

We should just rename the Third Quarter the Tanking Quarter. We're putting on a clinic there.

 

[wizenheimer]

didn't watch the game after a few hours of football. Wife has me on a sports budget this weekend

I see that the two teams combined for 72-204 FGA's. Holy shit! Was there any paint left on the rims?

Simons-Ayton-Grant combined to score 50 points on 61 shots. That's pretty fucking bad especially considering they took 61 of Portland's 111 shots; more than half again. They combined for 110 minutes; Scoot-Clingan-Rupert combined for 38 minutes. I think this is exactly what most fans didn't want to see with this team: those 3 vets hogging a far too big a share of usage, shots, minutes, and payroll.

Boring and pointless
