Game Thread 2024-25 - GAME #24 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - DEC 8, 2024 - SUN - 6:30 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

Lakers also coming off some bad losses so they might be very motivated to play well too.

Its hard to know how the Blazers will respond. Had 3 big wins after the first Memphis blowout. Sometimes after a blowout teams play with a lot of effort and intensity, as well as good decisions. Other times they follow it up with trying to all play individual hero ball and do everything themselves taking difficult shots.

Hoping we see Ayton benched again if he plays the same. Would like to see Ant given the same treatment if he jacks up stupid shots and has lazy passes with turnovers. Not confident we will see either.

If the Blazers play bad might see even more questions on Billups job. Its fine if the Blazers lose, they have very little talent and should have a lot of losses this season. But we want to see effort, intensity, and following a decent game plan.

 

Man, Timelord still in concussion protocol - this is a long time for that. Maybe keep him in protocol till Dec 15 and move him? just slinging chit

 

I would give anything to see a different starting 5 than that.

 

Hope for better effort than the last game which was pathetic

 

Well, the Blazers are the team you want to be playing when you’re team is struggling like the Lakers have been.

 

Nice to see Camara healthy and starting.

LBJ takes the night off like Lauri. Guess we're the opponent that other teams rest their starters against.

 

Hadn't seen Scoot play in awhile but recognize him right away with the pass that's off by 6 feet.

 

This the least active game thread Ive seen in awhile. I guess people aren't excited to watch this team.

 

Why is Jerami Grant still in the game?

 

Banton with a nice and1.

Can we just have him start at PG? So much more fun to watch than Ant or Scoot.

 

Pretty boring game really

 

We're beating the Lakers in LA.

Never seen less enthusiasm from Blazers fans for that in 10-20 years.

 

I’m just here to handout likes to @42N8Bounce while doing my best impression of Mrs. HCP with her mouth wide open at the glory hole in the lower level of the Crypto Arena.

 

I mean I’m watching it but I’m anticipating the Lakers taking over at any time.

 

Simons, Grant, and Ayton all on the bench.

 

Scoot Henderson seems to be one of those players who never learns. He may never be any better than this.
