Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #28 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - DECEMBER 20, 2025 - SATURDAY - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Shae has almost made me a convert. Another very good game.

Guy makes some smart passes too. His defense is getting better. He just has to be agreessive on both ends and he's a superstar.

I almost do not even care they won cause it seems like this team is regressing and if they cannot get back to playing smart and hard then it does not matter cause good teams will carve them up for dinner.

It’s a long season going to be lots of ups and downs. With no true pg to get you in good sets or to settle you down is killing us at times this year. Be nice to have Jrue and Scoot back. In some ways this has been good for us

That dunk was incredible. His athleticism is jawdropping

 

[42N8Bounce]

OMG That was nasty!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Shaedon’s dunk was incredible, but I was more surprised by Clingan’s baseline drive from the three point line for the dunk after a spin move. Where did that come from?

 

[DUB]

Happy Gravy Day everyone!

Couldn’t watch this one live because I was watching Australia destroy the old enemy England in The Ashes.

Wow! What a spectacular, stupendous, stuporific dunk by Shaedon!

Yeah the fact that he's capable of that makes me a bit frustrated. I know he rebounds and protects the rim at an elite level but it seems like he could throw it down at least seven or eight times a game (honestly I wanted to say six or seven times a game but these fucking kids have conditioned me to stay away from those numbers).

Seriously though what in the actual fuck is up with our bigs??? Nurk wouldn't dunk it, Deandre wouldn't dunk it and now for whatever reason Clingan won't dunk it as often as he can either. It makes me miss Mason Plumlee who wasn't half as talented as any of the three guys I just mentioned.

In NBA terms?

 

[blazerkor]

Only caught the second half and just now realized Grant didn't play - did they have any idea if this was just a one game off situation?

According to our current injury reports on CBS sports and ESPN everyone except Blake Wesley and Dame are now day to day with the earliest games for Jerami and Tisse listed being next game and Scoot and Jrue the game on the 26th. That doesn't mean they'll all be back then it's just the earliest they might be back but it does likely mean they're all cleared for contact on those dates.

Perhaps it's time to retire the "Should we be worried about Shaedon" thread.

and his 3pt shooting the past few weeks has been great, got his percentage up to 32.6% from the mid 20's

....and Kris going baseline with the up and under and doing the back flip off the glass?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Another solid game from DC.
Shae's dunk was every bit as spectacular as any of the dunks that made Julius, Vince, and Michael famous.

Westbrook couldn't believe it

Or perhaps.....the thread should have never been made....

No NBA rivalry is heated enough...

Are you kidding? He read it and got serious. YOU'RE WELCOME

 

[ant]

Ha, Kings beat the Rockets by 1 in OT after losing to us in two close games.

 

[RR7]

Now do one for Scoot!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now do one for Scoot!

SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SCOOT'S HAMSTRING?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ha, Kings beat the Rockets by 1 in OT after losing to us in two close games.

Funny how both New Orleans and Sacramento have thrived by giving their rookies and younger players more PT. Meanwhile, what's with Malik Monk in Sacramento? Last year he was being compared with Shae.

 

[THE HCP]

21/14/4/2 for the Kings starting PG in only 29 minutes.

Is that good?

none of those players, except for Grant have even been upgraded to 'questionable'

the last I heard, the only things Scoot, Jrue, and Thybulle have been doing is "non-contact' drills; which sure doesn't sound like close to return to me. Maybe I'm wrong though. With a little more than a week left to the year, I'd be really surprised if any of them moved from 'non-contact-->workout-->light practice-->full practice-->out-->questionable-->probable-->available' before January

I'm fairly convinced the Blazers have been gaslighting on the severity of injuries. Now maybe that's the same as overly-cautious. But Scoot's initial 4-8 weeks has turned into 4-13 weeks, and counting
