Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #60 - BLAZERS @ WOLVES - MARCH 4, 2024 - MONDAY - 5:00 PM PST - ROOT

Blazers 3-7 when Simons scores 30+

 

Memphis won so they 'lost' ground by a game to Portland in the lottery race. Kind of made up for that comeback loss Saturday

don't really get why Ant played 43 minutes

 

I'd guess he's not around simply because there are only so many roster spots;

 

Only if they decide to keep Brogdon. But every team needs 3 pgs and Banton at 6'8 seems like he has the potential to be a good utility player to have on your bench in case of injuries.

 

I hear that and if he is on the roster, that's fine with me. In my eyes, you don't worry about finding 3rd string utility players until you've got your stars, starters, and key rotation players lined up.

 

Walker: 0-3
Murray: 1-5
Banton: 1-6
Minaya: 1-3

Guys whose minutes and shots could be have been used by Monsiuer Rupert shot 3-17 on threes. 17.6 percent.

That stinks like Vieux Boulogne, certified as the world's stinkiest cheese.




Rupert was 3-3, 100%, and is shooting 50% for the season on threes. As pleasant as vanilla, the world's most pleasant smell.

 

can he play point forward at times? Too bad his 3 pointer is weak, if he could improve that than yeah keep him

 

Cronin’s “Ant-vertising” him for the summer.

 

I am liking what I'm seeing from Rupes. He has certainly improved in some aspects since SL. I like what I see from Banton as well. Different types of skills sets, but two 6'8" guys that can do some good things and with length. As people have mentioned, get Banton in the gym for 1000 3's a day....same with Camara. There are some hand placement things that with a small adjustment, I believe could help them.

 

Blazers announcer didn't talk about the tech at all. Stupid Blazers Broadcasting.

 

I found out later he said something to MN bench.

 

that's kinda the area where Dalano drifted. I think he was debating a foul call with those terrible refs in Minnesota. It's possible some chirping with Twolves players ensued. Should have been a double tech, but the refs suck, and helped Minnesota beat the Blazers with Free Throws
