Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #53 - BLAZERS @ TWOLVES - 2/8 - SATURDAY - 5:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

The refs kept them in the game and then they made a run at the right time. But we should have been blowing them out.

 

And Clingan. only 6 minutes of playing time, 5 rebonds and 3 blocks. (Where is spell check when you need it?)

 

At a point we're going to have to give up on playing Grant, right? I mean I think we're well past where him being forced minutes/shots fools any GM to think he had good value. Would be better to just consider him a sunk cost and stuck him in whatever role is best for our team.

 

How many Ant on five plays were there. I fucking hate the way Ant kills our flow on both ends of the game. Dude thinks he’s Dame on offense but isn’t close and then he definitely plays like a weaker version of Dame on D. Not good.

 

Kind of need to combine him and Timelord though. It was Timelord's game to play backup C until he had to sit with the knee injury.

 

He should be getting 35 minutes a night minimum.

 

The thing about Jerami is that I don’t see any fall off in his athleticism. Dude just can’t hit any fucking shots.

 

Yeesh.

 

Can't win a clankfest and tonight was a clankfest...get the next one!

 

Oh and I didn’t think it was possible at the beginning of the season but this was a perfect example of a trap game.

 

Only DB hooper sighting tonight was some advertisement. Would have rather seen him play for any of Kris, Ant, Deni, or especially Grant.

 

I wish. We'd have so much more clarity. I think Jerami needs a vacay soon to pickup on some European fashion.

 

He's forcing more crap offense though, as if he's the #1 option. His D looks a bit slower too, especially with Camara or Deni always picking up the better scorers. In prior years hed guard them the most.

 

Him and Ant are a big problem for us. Ant just said that he thought they took better shots in the second half… I seriously wonder if that dude understands the game at all sometimes or if he just plays on instinct based on things he’s practiced. Definitely doesn’t explain anything like it actually is.

 

Timelord played 8 minutes.

So that's 14 minutes for Timelord and Clingan combined, 32 minutes for a detached Ayton.

 

I wish Ant put as much thought into basketball as he did into that YouTuber who asked him about self fellating.

That’s the short version I didn’t care enough about to find the full video

 

One good thing is that Scoot was the best percentage 3-point shooter for the Blazers, 2-5 , 40% , and it's not a surprise anymore.

The bad news is, the rest of the Blazers shot 5 - 30, 16 and 2/3 percent.
