Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #82 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - APR 13, 2025 - SUN - 12:30 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

[Chris Craig]

Suns seem like they are trying to tank the game, even though they don't have their draft pick

Weird

 

[Chris Craig]

I haven't seen anything to indicate he has any skill or ability whatsoever yet, but Sidy Cissoko is one supersized guard. He has to be the biggest 6-6, 200 that's ever played for the Blazers.

All I have seen from him is why he was traded and waived.

 

[Graduate32]

lineup in the 2nd half needs to be:

minaya
murray
cidy
walker
reath

Our only shot even then it seems, is having Reath run the point. I mean this Lakers team is terrible.

 

[PCmor7]

All I have seen from him is why he was traded and waived.

He's the definition of "raw."

 

[wizenheimer]

Chris Paul. at 39, played all 82 games. I wonder if he is the first 39 year old player to play every game. Robert Parish played 79

 

[blazerkor]

So do we know the difference of lottery odds if we win compared to if we lose yet?

We don't, first of all the Suns are in a close game with the Kings who actually need the game. If we lose or the Suns win or both then we have the 9th lotto slot. If we win and the Suns lose we are tied for ninth and split the average for a chance at each pick 1-4.

9th lotto slot by ourselves:
4.5% for the 1st pick, 4.8% second pick, 5.2% third pick and 5.7% fourth pick.

Tied for 9th lotto slot:
3.75% first pick, 4.05% second pick, 4.4% third pick and 4.85% fourth pick.

Weird

Their pick goes to Brooklyn with zero protections on it. They should have been trying to win this whole time because they don't get shit for losing.

 

[blazerkor]

Get the rotation players out of there.

 

[blazerkor]

SMH

 

[B-Roy]

We’re gonna lose the coin flip and pick 10th

 

[blazerkor]

Just rooting for the Suns at this point.

Self inflicted wound after self inflicted wound by our franchise.

 

[wizenheimer]

Their pick goes to Brooklyn with zero protections on it. They should have been trying to win this whole time because they don't get shit for losing.

pretty sure it goes to Houston

 

[Natebishop3]

If we lose we are 9th alone

If we win we are tied 9th with Phoenix with a coin flip to determine who picks first.

And we will lose the flip. We always do. Every time.

 

[wizenheimer]

We’re gonna lose the coin flip and pick 10th

11th because Miami will jump into the top-4

 

[Natebishop3]

Get the rotation players out of there.

Billups is a fucking moron. I’m sorry.

 

[Natebishop3]

Who the hell decided to make fan appreciation night the last game of the season? Zero awareness.

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland's chances for a top-4 pick will drop from 20.2% to 17%

 

[Pinwheel1]

At this point, I hope we run up the. score. The Lakers didn't need to play any starters, but this lineup is embarrassing.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fucking Billups.

 

[wizenheimer]

Camara, Clingan, & Banton have combined for 67 minutes and 40 of Portland's 75 points

 

[Natebishop3]

Camara, Clingan, & Banton have combined for 67 minutes and 40 of Portland's 75 points

Fuck. Billups.

 

[inconceivable]

So the Suns are losing and we are winning so we are sharing our balls with the Rockets. Fcuk

 

[wizenheimer]

Camara, Clingan, & Banton have combined for 67 minutes and 40 of Portland's 75 points

it's now 72 minutes and 44 of 81 points

now, 75 minutes and 46 of 84 points

also, 36 of the 69 shots

but yeah, it would have been a challenge for the Blazers to lose to this laker team

 

[HailBlazers]

Bronny has no future.

 

[Chris Craig]

Their pick goes to Brooklyn with zero protections on it. They should have been trying to win this whole time because they don't get shit for losing.

They get to screw us

 

[blazerkor]

Fuck. Billups.

It's Joe's fucking job to tell a coach who they have to sit in these situations. Joe is right fucking there. Fucking ridiculous but a coach shouldn't coach to lose... that shit falls on the GM.

 

[blazerkor]

They get to screw us

I guess everyone is trying to screw us then... which makes no sense. Hell even our two guys that just got contract extensions are fucking us over.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah Camara, Clingan, & Banton....3 offensive juggernauts. None of the 3 shot that well in the first half, and we were still up big.

 

[Chris Craig]

Do the fans appreciate this?

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah Camara, Clingan, & Banton....3 offensive juggernauts. None of the 3 shot that well in the first half, and we were still up big.

They shut down these jokers from the Lakers bench.
