Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #15 - BLAZERS VS BULLS - WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 19, 2025 - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION (8 Viewers)

[Chris Craig]

Yep. Such a stupid draft last time. Next time should be more of the same.

Likely

This is the Clingan I want to be seeing. More fire. More aggression. Silver lining. Deni was great and Grant was very good too.

Hansen needs much more pep in his step. He seems pretty far away still though I suppose better than weeks ago. We'd be feasting right now if we had Queen or Coward with all the injuries we've had.

 

[PDXFonz]

Caleb Love played horribly, and generally I’d say that he has responsibility in this loss; but realistically - I think Julius is to blame.

 

[kjironman1]

Nice comeback.

You gotta make your free throws...

 

[HansenYang]

Caleb Love, 1 for 12 (-20). Unplayable.

We literally have a G- league bench right now.

I missed the game but looked at the box score.

Looks like Love & Cooke had a rough night...
and did Rupert really receive a DNP-CD? Or was he injured too?

If its a DNP when we're running the MASH unit out there-> we might as well cut him right now and sign someone who can play

All I can do is just laugh, Blazers lost to a buzzer beater against the Magic and now Blazers lost to a buzzer beater against a former Magic player, it is really ironic

So we are going to lose Fridays game to a buzzer beater from former Bull Jimmy Butler?

I would not be surprised

Not upset with the loss. Happy that we fought our way back into it. Disappointed with the defence on the last possession, it was pretty naive.

One was a lottery pick. The other...

I'd still trust Presti in the second round over our own front office picking in the first. Sad to say...

The other ... got cut by Presti and no one even picked him up on a two-way contract for a reason.

That gets a little off the point, though. There's nothing comparable about Giddey and Dillon Jones. Giddey was the sixth pick as an 18-19-year-old for a reason and was producing as a teenage rookie for a reason. Dillon Jones was a late first-round pick after four years of college for a reason. Jones is older than Giddey right now and hasn't accomplished anything in the NBA yet.

People keep wanting to reinvent Dillon Jones or create a myth of Dillon Jones. I'd love it if Dillon Jones turned out to be a steal for the Blazers, but acting like he'd be some savior or that he'd be an improvement over Cissoko, Love and Rupert ... there just isn't any reason to think that right now. He averaged more than 10 minutes per game in more than 50 games wih the NBA champ. It's not like he's a complete unknown.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kris Murray played well in the 4Q.

I shall treasure this.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Caleb and Javonte should be playing for the remix.

Or at least sitting on the bench.

 

[Hoopguru]

Eh, we'll just get a shitty pick and take the wrong player again.

Hopefully the new owner, GM, & Coaching staff we can turn the page for a brand new era.

The whole fantasy points thing never makes sense to me. Every fantasy league puts point values different on stats, so I never know what “fantasy points” mean.
I know some leagues that give more value for steal/rebs/blocks than others for example. I know some that take points away for turnovers and techs.

Presti traded 5 picks for him. Yes, Presti cut him but that's not due to talent. Someone had to be a casualty to make the roster fit and stay under the cap. It's a low bar. Jones could most certainly be a step up from Cissoko, Rupert, and the rest we're forced to play right now due to injuries. He's certainly better than Love and the other guy. I'd roll the dice.

Not sure if you guys saw, I shared a picture. Ran into Martell Webster last night. First game he had been to in like 14 years he said. Guy literally looks exactly like he did when he played for us! We could use his shooting to be honest! Great dude!
