Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #56 - BLAZERS VS HORNETS - FEBRUARY 25, 2024 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM PST - ROOT

Make it 1-5 as favorites... it's like stealing money at this point.

 

I think Joe made deals for Jerami and Ant at the trade deadline to be executed near the draft, just like he had with Detroit for Jerami at the trade deadline of 2022. I just hope as the team tanks that Jerami and Ant don't tank their value so bad that our trade partners rethink any previous agreements.

 

the only area where Piston fans get to troll Blazer fans, is they're no longer on the hook for Grant's max contract.

 

I doubt it.

 

Kris, Toumani, Jabari:

All 3 guys do some good things. Until one of them learns to consistently hit a 3, none of them should be factored into the future. None would sniff the rotations of a playoff team, and having multiple on the floor at the same time is offensive suicide.

 

Blazers played zesty for a few minutes. Cut the Hornets lead down to 5 in 4th quarter. The score was 73-68, a real barn burner. The Blazers quit relying on the deep ball, and used defensive stops and drives to get some baskets.

Coach Clifford called timeout to rally the troops... while Coach Billups handed out rapid release valium tablets.

Blazers couldn't score in the next 5 minutes. 4 turnovers, 4 bricked 3's, a missed oop to Ayton, and Grant shanked an ISO.

how'd the Hornets do after the timeout?
dunk, dunk, triple, layup, 3 footer, FT's, dunk, layup, layup.

can we add Hornets to list of teams the Blazers want their rebuild to look like?

 

Finally, someone realized calling timeouts isn't the key to fixing things!

 

Sometimes your shit is funny but rapid release Valium is called Xanax, two of the three guys who played in this game that could be considered starting level NBA players didn't show up (Jerami and Ant) and these losses are good for us in the long run.

I'm honestly hoping that the last game that we see Ant and Jerami is this next one against the Heat who should smoke us.

Then I hope that Scoot and Shae heal up so we can see what they look like together with Deandre and our role players. If we win even one more game this season it will be senseless and show that the people running shit don't know what the fuck they're doing.

 

Blazers 5th quarter radio show is trying to compare Coach Billups with Spoelstra, Phil Jackson & Steve Kerr.

... i'm having issues with the spin. Just start blurping out famous NBA names, and Blazer fans will believe you ?

 

Wife Beater Bridges manhabdled the Blazers.

 

Ant played his worst game as a Blazer against the worst team in the NBA.....embarrassing Grant and Walker were terrible, Matisse can't shoot anymore. I couldn't watch the 4th qtr again. I won't cheer for the tank

 

pregame hype up the Blazers

the context was, Chad Doing & his radio companions will say ANYTHING to make Portland resemble a top tier NBA franchise.

Banton = Magic Johnson ?
Coach Billups = Phil Jackson ?

Too many bad Blazer defeats, seems to have caused temporary insanity within the PR department.

 

we can watch the 50/50 official game highlights. It always looks better when the Blazers are making shots.

or... we can watch Nick Richards highlights, to get a better idea of the actual game flow in this contest.

 

Chad Doing is not a Blazers employee and his show has nothing to do with Blazers PR. He works for the radio station that happens to cover the team.

 

Blazers radio were having a "players coach" discussion, then compared the most talented coaches in NBA history with Coach Billups
