Game Thread Game #29 - BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - DECEMBER 15, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT)

Bane was given away in the Kanter deal.

 

if Portland puts Dame on the market they are NOT going to get a "massive haul". Won't even be close

 

It might be really hard to get another win in 2021 unless some dramatic change in play materializes.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see them lose 10 straight more. Maybe Orlando on jan17 is a win?

 

They said we found out at the start of the game Smith JR wasn't playing Why? What about Snell?

 

not by Portland

 

Yikes... shooting 16 of 44 inside the arc is really bad. 36.3% on two point shots! They were disruptive but we missed a lot of shots that we just have to hit. Obviously Dame blew two reverses he usually makes but it was way more than that. When Dame and Norm were sitting the team let didn't put up effort on either end.

Trade Ant and play DSJ as backup PG because people see value in Ant's potential. Trade RoCo and Nurk, every analyst out there says they have value because throughout their careers they've shown they can play and are on expiring contracts. Obviously trade CJ... some GM in the NBA has to value him. Just turn those guys into two players that can make an impact on both ends. Start Dame, Norm, Nas, Larry and whoever the best 5 you can get is supposedly Sabonis or Turner are available and get a sixth man to go with them.

 

DSJ right knee pain and Snell personal reasons.

 

Did we make a trade yet? This shit is embarrassing. I mean I guess we could get lucky and get a top 3 pick, who knows.

 

Attendance numbers?

Moda was just as dead as the Suns game

 

Guaranteed the attendance # was a lot higher than the actual amount of butts in seats.

 

If Simmons/Thybulle/Maxey for Dame is on the table do you think our rebuilding franchise shouldn’t take it?

 

After tonight we moved up to the 7th pick.

 

As I said before: Clyde deserves a ring and now Dame deserves a ring as well. Go trade him to a great team so he can get that ring.

 

So Simons shoots the ball well, can't play defense and is allergic to passing--time to sign him to the Crabbe extension.

 

I say give Cronin a chance and a clean slate. Fire sale! We could get a lot of young pieces for our aging backcourt and expirings. A bunch of young studs, salary cap, and first rounders sounds pretty good right about now.

 

Shoulda traded for Herro last year when he was available.

 

Cronin has about a month and a half to fix this roster or Chauncey is going to be on a real hot seat

 

This isn’t really a coaching thing. Our team when Lillard is playing awful just isn’t good. We got by in the past with hero ball. Well the hero is broken and Robin has got a bad lung.

Too bad Olshey hamstrung the franchise by not trading CJ years ago when it was obvious to everyone that the small back court would never work. Instead he doubled down on it by trading and resigning a 6’3 SG to play starting SF.

Olshey was trash. Good thing we never ended up signing Chandler Parsons or Roy Hibbert both of whom he badly wanted to sign that ended up fizzling out of the league shortly after.

 

That sounds about right.One step closer after tonight’s ridiculous loss.
