Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #44 - BLAZERS @ MAGIC - JAN 23, 2025 - THUR - 4:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Winning means SHIT if the young players who are supposed to be the future are not the reason for the win so Cronin you MUST trade either Grant and/or Ant before the deadline or as far as I am concerned you get a F for this season. I am not talking about this game as much as just winning games in general cause right now wins without seeing growth from the young players is bad cause not only hurts the Flagg dreams but also means they have hurt the growth too so a double whammy.

 

Fouling out in 14 minutes is wild lmfao

 

Two unprotected firsts or nothing!

 

Maybe this win will motivate Joe to finally trade the vets...

 

Williams gate up the court reminds me of Mo Lucas.

 

This win stings….hopefully it catalyzes an Ant trade though

 

Butt ugly grind it out win...amazing defensive effort...Walker with 6 steals...all those blocks and steals...really old school game plan.

 

I know long term the wins probably hurt our team's chances of contending but the way the guys have been getting after it lately is a really beautiful thing to watch. I think Chauncey deserves a lot of credit for turning a team that looked checked out to being completely locked in damn near all the time.

 

It’s obvious to me that Timelord makes everything go on this team. He’s unreal. Just wish we could rely on his health. He’s only 27.

 

Dude is a win now player and maybe you disagree but I don't think we're at a point where winning now should be a priority. Let that guy do this for some other team in the playoffs, if we can get the right value in return.

 

There are no Flagg dreams, this team is ready to make the leap next year. If we trade Ant, I'm okay with that, but we will need vets next year. I say this with the belief this team could make a nice push this year. Fun to see it coming together

 

fun game.

boy they're awful, desperately need a guard. i think this game was more about them being trash than our defense being good.

 

they currently have the 15th pick based on this season's record as well as DEN's top 5 protected pick.

send us at least one of those picks and one young guy and leave Ant there.

this was a good showcase.

 

There are a lot of fools on this board who think Portland is somehow going to get Cooper Flagg if they just lose enough games.

 

Yaaaay another stupid ass point less win

The franchise on the way to nowhere

 

???? I guess we watch a different sport. Check where POR is in offense and defense rankings. Like 25 for both. Out of 30. Does that sound encouraging? You think they magically leap in the top 10 in those categories by KEEPING the roster the same? You are trolling right ? Nobody is THAT Pollyanna about sports

 

3 wins in a row makes people forget about the 5 losses we had in a row last week.

let's not forget how pathetic this team is because we string a couple wins together.

 

I think if they sent us Cole Anthony, Anthony Black and let's just say they bet on themselves by sending their pick in this draft with those two then it might make sense for us to send them Ant and Delano, two perimeter players that can score when they have droughts like tonight.

I don't know if you get Black and a FRP for Ant without including something to sweeten it in the form of more help for their bad perimeter offense.

 

No real depth of knowledge of the sport would be my guess.

 

Can we architect a Tristan Da Silva for Kris Murray swap? He’s basically what we want Kris to be.
