Game Thread 2023-24 Game #39 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - JANUARY 14, 2024 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

They'd be good shots for someone else...

 

...and that's why you never get picked in pickup games.

 

It was determined he PURPOSELY mislead his viewers on stock recommendations, for fun and personal profit, and apologized for it, but somehow still has the same gig.

 

And when they switched back to the game, there were players sprawled all over the floor, I had no idea what happened, and they didn't bother to describe or go back and show what we missed. It's par for the course with Blazers Broadcasting this year. Stupid pregame guesses about who will make the last basket, how many shots someone will take, or who's going to scratch their nuts first; cutting from live play for some boring meaningless Hammerblab take and any other non-game-related blather they can come up with; and the ever popular zooming in on a player or someone on the sideline, or even the folks in the studio joking around, while we miss the game. Also, I'm really sick of Hurd. Terry was such a welcome relief for me last night.

 

He would have if he hadn't forced up an impossible shot attempt every time he drove into an impenetrable thicket under the basket, which was often, and had instead either passed or dribbled back out of danger. It's like he makes up his mind he's going hard to the rim and is incapable of facing reality and changing course before it's too late. A decent point guard needs to always have a Plan B. He's obviously not there yet.

 

I’m not looking for defense. I’m looking for fans to just say,ya, it was a brutal shooting night

 

I have zero problem with how many shots he took. I was just pointing out how brutal his % was

 

and that’s brutal

 

33 points on 31 shots is absolutely horrendous.

 

It was a brutal shooting night but far better have had far worse.

 

Was bad for sure. Not bad for a 19 year old kid though with no experience in my opinion. Just didn’t bug me much. I expected MANY of these type of nights. Inefficient, yet exciting……like my sex life!

 

it's better he shoot and miss than be scared to shoot. Horrible habit to develop.

 

Perhaps you meant "exiting" - like your intended sex partner

 

Great to see Scoot going for it...This is the season to figure out what works and what doesn't. I wish Sharpe would do the same on occasion. It's all about development. As to the miserable sods above...They all have shown that despair is their baseline.

Have fun watching this team develop and go find a little joy in your life.

 

Someone smart.

 

the entire Suns possession was cut off to have a chat with Brooke. I guess a Blazer fouled KD on a three pointer, hence the sprawled out players on the court.

This year the TV crew gets to goof off, because the team doesn't win much. That's fine and all, but why even show the game at all if the TV crew wants to cut off game minutes, and turn every contest into a comedy club?

Not returning to live action is only going to get worse. The broadcasting crew knows that's a big no no, and they're acting like spoiled brats, trying to be naughty children.

The Blazers owner is off in la la land. Jody must get a kick out of the silly broadcasters. Seeing happy people on TV is more fun for her, then watching this bouncy basketball sports team her brother gave her.

 

What point of the game was this? I can't believe I missed it.

 

I don't recall exactly, late 1st half. It's the most annoying thing ever to hear sneakers squeeking, and not be able to see the game, because Blazer broadcasting would rather screw around then show us the basketball game.

You insinuating that the changes made by the Vulcuns have not been good?
The product definitely seems worse.
