We have so much young talent that while inconsistent does some amazing stuff and I'm hoping that amazing stuff gets more consistent. I'm hoping the young talent gets more minutes and usage when (hopefully) the experienced guys getting too much of the usage and minutes (Ant, Jerami and Ayton) are traded. See Shaedon's consecutive 30 point games less than a month ago.
When I saw the lack of effort last night, I turned it off at halftime. My son went a game a couple weeks ago and said Moda was half full. Bet viewership is way down too.
when Simons and Ayton were out with injuries I in general enjoyed the games win or lose, the guys played hard and there was much more passing. If they finally trade these guys, would like to see Grant gone as well, I'll likely watch all or most of the games
Funny, I did exactly the same thing, watch a TV show with my wife instead of suffering thru more of that torture of a game
I'll probably tune out soon and stop watching most of this season. It's such a train wreck right now it's kind of compelling just to witness what will happen next. But after a few games and when we continue to see this horrific Ant Ayton Grant big3 I'll tune out for awhile. I've thought about trying to buy season tickets some year. It would be nice to own but also if done right I can flip many of the tix for $ to cover most of the cost. However with where the team is right now it might be many many years until that makes sense financial sense. I sure wouldn't want to be trying to sell tix this season.
Grant was actually enjoyable to watch those games that Ayton and Ant we're out. He deferred to Sharpe and others, hustled on D, and chipped in on offense where it made sense. I'd still like to trade him because that contract is very concerning. Also I think we might be stuck with Ayton and maybe even Ant too - so perhaps Grant is the only one we're able to move.
Yeah, I stopped watching early and then tried again after halftime and stopped again less than two minutes in.
I really don't watch if Simons is going to play. Unless there is absolutely nothing else going on. Then I may put it on in the background. Nothing personal against Simons, but I don't want to see the young guys playing the way they do when they have to play with the Ant, Grant, and Ayton.
last season, and this season, as Cronin/Billups/Blazer-Broadcasting have worked OT to promote and feature the Simons/Ayton/Grant troika I've been tuning out and not watching more than I ever have (bad grammar?). I've seen enough dumpster fires in my fan-life
I was watching Duke vs North Carolina NCAA women’s soccer semifinal and the Boise State football all during this game!
I was watching the young Oregon City girls basketball team play the senior laden McMinnville Grizzlies team at 7pm. It was close-ish for a while, but the young OC team definitely had the jitters and couldn't make shots and lost by 29. After that game, I drove my 10th and 11th grader to watch their older sister and Lewis and Clark girls play Willamette University in a great overtime game that they thought they had won in regulation, only to have a last second 3 bobble it's way in. Wound up losing in OT, but that's also a very young L&C team with no seniors and only 2 juniors, so plenty of good.
Bro that’s so cool that you are able to watch her college games with your family. Very exciting. Sounds like we need to start a thread to fire the OC coach though!!!! The loss was the coach’s fault right?
Just when this team shows some promise, they come out and stink up the joint right after. I've been over Ant for 4 years now...he's not a franchise player I can cheer for on what was my favorite team...for the first time in ages I'm actually losing interest in the Blazers. I'm blaming the coaching staff. Ant and Chauncey are Olshey's last hold outs. Need a new voice to develop rookies.
It's not the loss....it's 4 years of them bro......I can hardly handle another Billups post game interview at this point....his standard answer is "to be honest with you, I don't know what's wrong" and that's not what I want to hear from a 4th year head coach. Bringing Stotts back would be a move I'd cheer for at this point.
Yeah, we've only had to miss a couple of road games that didn't have a quality stream. We've been able to attend everything or stream everything else. It's been incredible having her so close to home.
This is completely understandable. Let's hope the trade deadline sees Ant and a few other established guys traded and if Chauncey shows he's still not leading the young guys in the right direction the rest of the season then let's hope for a new coach. It's not a hopeless situation but it's understandably very frustrating.
