Game Thread 2022-24 GAME #64 - BLAZERS VS CELTICS - MARCH 11, 2024 - MONDAY - 7:30 PM PST - ROOT

points off turnovers:
BOS 19
POR 4

everytime a Blazer tried to guard someone, the Celtics would power up shots, or pass it to an open shooter.

This game wasn't fair. Boston is better then the bench players from Memphis and Toronto

 

Boston had 10 blocks

Blazer swat department, Matisse 3, Murray 1, Toumani 1. The rest of the Blazers missed the block party invitation

 

Hauser hit more 3's off the Celtics bench (6), then Portland's starting lineup (5).

 

Ayton was fine. Simons looked gassed. Blazer guards shot 35% FG w/7 turnovers. But it's easier to blame DA's cardio

 

Simons had some slick shoes after the game.

Oh, and Anfernee wants to build team chemistry

...and then they handcuffed you?

 

Photographic proof ...

 

I think she's an Emmy award winner on an Emmy award winning broadcast team. I mean she actually is part of a good broadcast no?

 

Ant talking about good teams being together a while.
Well yeah that happens when you have players that are good enough to stay in the league.

 

Moses Brown. not Jaylen.

 

I wanna compete with StatMuse...

the Blazers are 3-9 when Ayton has a 20 & 10 game; a .250 winning percentage. Their season mark is .281. Overall, when Ayton plays the Blazers are 11-31; a .262 winning percentage

does that mean that Ayton has no impact on winning even when he's scoring and rebounding well? Maybe. If not, what does it mean? Doesn't matter because I'm like StatMuse

 

I listened to the fake Blazers radio show with (never disappointed, so you shouldn't be either) Chad Doing. They spent the better part of an hour lavishing over Deandre Ayton options.

The Blazers can resign Ayton in 2 years, trade him next summer, etc. etc. Then (not grumpy anymore) Dwight Jaynes conjured up a shiny gem of positive takes. "Ayton has performed better in Portland then anyone expected" -- DA's ppg & eFG is down from his PHX avg. FTA is a career low. Ayton has missed considerable time healing up injuries. "Better then anyone expected??"

 

Ayton is what Ayton is. The reason his numbers are lower than usual is that he's playing with far far inferior talent than he has in Phoenix. Even in Ayton's rookie season Booker was kicking ass in a way that absolutely no one on this team is capable of, which definitely frees up a big like Ayton.

Jerami and Ant also are what they are. All three of these guys getting the kind of minutes they're getting (especially Jerami) is pretty fucking crazy at this point in what is obviously a season that is wasted and can only be somewhat salvaged by acquiring a difference maker in the draft.

 

The Blazers have nothing to do with that guys show. He works for the radio station that happens to carry the radio broadcast.

 

notice i said "fake" Blazers radio

 

It’s not a Blazers radio show is all I’m saying. The way you post on here this reads like you are saying the Blazers are putting out a fake radio show, whatever that means.

 

the non-official Blazery question is..
Is Ayton's first season in Portland better then anyone expected ??

 

define better

then....define Whyachi. Is it a question? Are you asking Why achi?

 

It's not why they lost the game if anything Ayton was a bright spot tonight.
