Game Thread 2026-25 GAME #20 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER - SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 30, 2025 - 3:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION (1 Viewer)

Good effort. Not going to downplay that. The only thing that bothers me is if we played with 80% of this intention the other night against the Spurs the other night we'd have won that game easily.

Sharpe was a big bag of nothin' tonight. Camara had a good shooting night. Murray played an excellent game and Deni was a beast.

I give Shaedon a pass until the minutes restriction ends.

I wasn't able to watch the game.

Was it stated when the last time a Blazer had 30 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists (or better)?

The high rebound number make it hard to match. if the internet is right, Brandon Roy's career high was 14. Clyde Drexler was 18 , and Lillard 18 (5 points in that game) too.

Something is seriously not right with him. I don't think he should be playing right now as is...

This is what the Google AI Overview says:

Deni Avdija holds the record for the highest rebounds and 10+ assists in a single game for the Portland Trail Blazers, with a 31-point, 19-rebound, 10-assist performance on November 30, 2025. This also marks the first time any player in franchise history has achieved a game with over 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.

• Player: Deni Avdija
• Game Date: November 30, 2025
• Stats: 31 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists
• Significance: This was the first game in Portland Trail Blazers history to include over 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.

However, I was able to find this for Bill Walton, which the Google AI should mention since he also had 10 assists and 19 rebounds (the most rebounds as a Blazer with 10+ assists).





Clyde Drexler played 961 games for the Trail Blazers, and the most rebounds that I found in a game where he had at least 10 assists was 15 rebounds.

There is fight in the dog today!

YOU RANG FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

Yang 0-3 in 4 minutes; per36 that would be 0-27

22/12/4 in 26 minutes tonight for DeAndre Ayton. I can tell you who would make this team better between these two. But then again what do I know right?

fuck ayton...he had his chances in Portland and ended up providing emptier calories than JJ Hickson

besides that....he was the one who asked for a buyout

Fat lady is singing

YOU RANG FAMS!?

 

[THE HCP]

51 fouls and 69 FT's made the game a tough watch IMO. Deni is getting a lot of calls now. He puts a lot of pressure on the officials

OKC played 8 guys in the 6'4 to 6'7 range and they can all handle the ball. And they didn't have Caruso. It's hard to believe they aren't over the tax line yet

With 3 lottery picks in the upcoming deep draft. And what about their number 1 pick last year? Was it Topic?

So do you think we’d be better WITH him this season than without?

 

[crandc]

I'll just be glad after New Year's when we don't have to play them again.

Goes both ways. Portland still only team to beat OKC and damn near did it again short handed.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I thought you were in full tank mode so we can get the Lakshuvius Lashalonis

Still as hilarious as it ever was. By the way, how did Gonzaga do against Michigan this past week - I forgot to check. Gonzaga won, I'm sure.

no...I don't believe Portland would be better with him. They sure as hell weren't better last year with him; they were 17-23 with him and 19-23 without him. The year before, they were 14-41 with Ayton, which actually matches their winning percentage that season....when they were tanking.

as I said, it's my view he's an empty stat role player. I don't like his type of C. He's not a rim protector or a paint defender which is a bad combo for a drop-coverage C. His FT rate is pathetic for a guy his size with his level of usage. He's not a passer and doesn't make teammates better. He just hangs around the mid-range singing gimme-gimme-gimmie-the-ball. He's an acceptable rebounder, but that's true for a lot of 7-footers

honestly, I much prefer Clingan and his warts over Ayton and his warts.

All those records….. when he was playing and we lost, we’re any OTHER starters out? Quite sure that would impact the outcome of the game if he was playing with one other regular starter right? It like when people used to use wins and losses and stats with Delano Baton when he was playing in a glorified summer league game.
It’s ok to admit that every GM and coach in the league would rather have DA starting for us over what we roll out. It’s alright. You won’t be considered any less of a “fan”.

lol...you're so full of shit. You don't know that at all; just pulling it out of your colon. After 2 years of enduring Ayton's uselessness, Cronin and the Blazers were willing and happy to pay Ayton 25M to play for another team; after taking him to the airport, then stopping in the airport bar and buying rounds of doubles to celebrate finally dumping his lazy ass. That after they spent a year desperately shopping him around the league and none of those GM's you're yakking about were interested...at all. And the Lakers were only willing to pay Ayton 8M, a little over half of the MLE.

next year, if he plays for his 8M P.O. he'll finally be paid about what he's worth. Still a little high though

 

[THE HCP]

We’d be better with HIS paint presence than what we are limping out there each night. That’s all I said.

You’re compadre on here even said he’d take Yang’s numbers over his straight up. So there’s that.

Aren't you the guy who's always saying we're talent-poor and how we're doing RIGHT NOW is irrelevant? Are you suddenly "win now"? Or are you just flogging a horse that has now desiccated?

Nah, just got killed by a few on here for acting “insane” by thinking we would some how be better with DA instead of our current situation. Blasted. So I simply shared a tweet about a game he had the other night and the size guy came unglued. Just following up is all. I for some reason think we would be a tougher squad with him manning the middle is all. As far as win now, no way are we ready for that. Just doing a little comparison.

lol...c'mon man....so now, you're trying to argue that a 95 game sample size is too small....yeah right

Ayton making a squad tougher? What?

"For some reason" is right. Tougher is not an adjective I associate with Ayton. He may be a great dude and he has the body of a young David Robinson, but God help him he just doesn't care that much about basketball, and you can't make him.
