Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #9 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - NOVEMBER 7, 2024 - 5:00 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

[1 Eye Jack]

I watched a afternoon tv show of the gentleman that played Col. Klink on Hogans Heroes. He and the gentleman that played Sgt. Schultz were real life Jewish and agreed to do the show as long as the Nazi's were always the butts of the jokes and never had any success. Both were great men. Probably got deeper than you wanted.
Edit; The show was many years ago. Both sadly have been passed for many years.

Not sure if it’s true but heard they were going to make a movie

I can’t remember a team rebuilding but not starting any of the players they are building around!! Seems like Billups is old school and dedicated to the older guys who are legit starters but aren’t our future. Not playing them is setting them back another year or two.

Hey, Schultz was no Nazi. Dude was conscripted into the army. Schultz had a heart of gold.

I was joking, I love that show

It's a failure of Cronin, not Billups. Never made sense to setup this roster with these 5 vets in July as Cronin did.

I don't think we can blame this on Billups. Cronin needs to move guys. I have said before I would move Ayton and Simons for nothing.

Agreed.

I'm actually wondering if it makes sense to send out a 2nd round pick or take back a worse contract just to dump one of Grant Ayton Ant.

Their value has consistently gone down over the last 3 years and I'm concerned it's more likely to sink even lower than ever go up.

SAS shot lights out. I do wish Zach was a blazer .so mobile

He looked very mobile and active on the court. He also looked small compared to Wemby and Clingan.

I actually agree to an extent. I think Chauncey can have a better balance. I know he's gotta play the vets but the balance isn't good at all right now.

OR: you play the vets as much as possible to pump up their value and trade them all.
OR: Billups is old school but Cronin wants him to play the young guys, and the only way for non-confrontational Cronin to force Chauncey's hand is to trade the vets.

Slightly more hopeful about an Ant-to-Orlando trade now that Banchero has gone down and they can't score to save their lives.
