Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #11- BLAZERS VS GRIZZLIES - NOVEMBER 10, 2024 - SUNDAY - 6 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

What is Dopey Joe's next move? I bet he'll do nothing. We'll lose the lottery, he'll draft another crappy player, and we get to do this over again next year.

 

lol calabro... they didn't get to 100 pts bud.

 

It’s the Dark Ages indeed. Every team has them…I just hope ours doesn’t last decades like the Clippers or Lions or Detroit Tigers.

 

The skill level between these two teams is outrageously one-sided.

One team does the fundamentals to play close to maximum potential. The other doesn't. I mean everyone on Memphis is a credible shooter and can counter that with a shot fake that at the very least allows them to get a couple of dribbles into the defense if your defensive footwork is bad.

Speaking of bad defensive footwork, Ant looks like one thing he learned from Dame is how to allow any offensive player to get two feet into the paint driving on him.

And while I thought Deni looked like a worthwhile addition in the first couple of weeks, these last few games he's looked like maybe one of the worst trades in Blazer history, to give up 2 1sts and a 2nd along with Brogdon to get a player that couldn't even defend a straight drive to the hoop.

 

Why are we chanting on the Asian guy?

 

Good news we kept under a fifty point loss

 

Nope, they didn’t get there. Someone needs to get fired.

 

Ant's playing like he can't wait to get traded.

The problem is he's hurting his trade value by doing that.

Is it my imagination, BTW, or has he shot the ball poorly in the first half of almost every game?

 

That game was a stinker. Seriously shitty play from our guys against JJJ and the Memphis bench.

 

I like how Delano managed to get up 18 shots...

 

When was the last time the Blazers gave up a future draft pick that could be as high as #2 overall? I was one of the very few who was against the trade, but it's been much worse than even I expected.

 

Not your imagination

 

I don't think a guy with the body of work that Ant has as far as shooting, is actually hurting his trade value. People know this guy is a bucket and that he's in a bad situation... oh and that he can't play defense to save his life. Whatever a guy who can score in bunches but is only effective in that role is worth is going to be Ant's worth... I'm just not sure what that is around the league.

 

Yeah. The 14th pick this last draft and another in an upcoming draft.

 

The Wizards get one of our 2029 1sts.

 

Then he tried to start some Canadian on Canadian violence.

 

Maybe not. But there also are a lot of examples of guys that peaked or got reputations of not playing hard and their productivity started to decline despite a promising early career.
