Game Thread 2023-24 Game #37 - BLAZERS @ THUNDER - JANUARY 11, 2023 - THURSDAY - 5:00 PM PST

Ant heating up, b2b triples

 

Jerami Grant air balls a wide open 3 and then full court pass for a layup. I mean what can you do.

 

Thunder up 40, Billups calls timeout.

 

Optimism:

2 seasons ago, the Thunder were 24-58. That’s how quickly we can turn things around as our young players develop and we pick twice in this year’s lottery. Shai wasn’t always an MVP candidate. It takes time to develop.

 

quit running a flat baseline offense that allows easy leak outs?

 

Took them a while, they still have a ways to go, and they're the outlier.

Would be like trying the sell the 41st pick as a great pick because that's where Jokic went in one draft.

 

Grant just needs 1 more basket for double figures. Then Chauncey can bench his "core" and bring in the Remix.

 

We only have to outscore them by 20 in the rest of this quarter and then 20 in the fourth and we're right back in this!

 

How about "rudderless"?

 

That’s a bad analogy. We’ve drafted as well as OKC has,

 

wow....like to see more from Sharpe & Scoot....

 

nevermind, there goes Grant & Simons.

 

Bench Grant & Simons and let the young’uns have a go. Don’t know that it could be worse but so long as either of those two are on the team I expect that mediocrity will be cause for celebration. Surprised if we get there.

They are players, just not “team” players.

In the immortal words of Hook: kill ‘em. Kill ‘em all.

 

You said ONE word

 

Do that ten times in a row and hold them scoreless...and we're still down by 10.

 

I'm offering that one for someone else.

 

Giddy triple double

 

100 to 50?
