Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #16 - NBA CUP - BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOV 22, 2024 - FRI - 5:00 PM - KATU, CHARGE, BV

What the heck was Clingan doing back in the game so quick with 2 fouls?

Why can't fundamentally-sound (lol) Kris Murray make FTs?

 

For ABSOLUTELY no reason whatsoever, complaining about Clingan seems the way to go tonight

 

I have to admit, I'm tempted to blame the coaching staff for our complete lack of fundamentals.

 

Who shoots 35% from the free throw line?

 

I'm just making a joke; the foul situation is ludicrous tonight. I actually wasn't blaming DC per se. He's a rookie, and his faults will be because of inexperience.

Chauncey Billups, on the other hand...

 

Was at game 1, but thank you

 

This one ain’t looking good. POR doesn’t need to tank; it’s a built in feature

 

Why can't the Blazers just hand the ball to Sharpe well outside the 3-point line? There is no need to make a contested pass.

 

Oh good we've given up on defense too.

 

The whole team is kinda sulking again cause things aren't going their way.

 

Quick takes from game so far :

DC is getting hosed but he is a rookie so I guess that is to be expected but at least one of those fouls maybe 2 were kind of BS
IF the team was not wanting a high lotto pick i would be begging for Billups to be fired cause I am SO SO tired of him. -- with a better coach this team would prolly win 4 to 8 more games then with Billups
I believe some of the players have already given up in this game and that is on the player but I also put that on Billups too

 

We're gonna solve that "several teams worse than us" problem yet!

 

Nice

 

Well with Simons back u know our defense effort was gonna be bad

 

Deni one man team right now.

 

He forgot to tank.

 

deni is so much better as a lead ball handler. i love his creation

 

cant say for certain, but there's like a general malaise around ant. i don't see any joy when he's out there.

 

CTC baby. Losing leads to nihilism.
