Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #39 - BLAZERS VS NETS - JAN 14, 2025 - TUE - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Is this game on tv for those who have YouTube TV and no antenna. KUNP? is that the Univision network?

 

Loving Scoot's motor tonight

 

That only lasted like 2 games before they pulled the plug.

 

a few games ago, i posted that we cant get too high with scoot's highs or too low at his low points.

i was met with a response that scoot hasn't had any high points.

well... there ya go. this one is for you.

 

Anything to boost his confidence on the floor is good for Scoot!

 

What a first half for Scoot and Camara. Hopefully Scoot can play at least a solid 2H and come back the next game and at least have an average performance. Really needs this for confidence.

Sharpe, Ant, Ayton, though, yuck.

Kris Murray would be great if this was a game that didn't involve a ball. Or shooting it. Or dribbling it.

 

We only have him because we tanked. Like “play John Butler Jr at PG” tank. So when you enjoy watching him, remember that.

 

I didn't realize that post was precognitive.

Or that this game was more about vindicating you than the game and Scoot's performance.

 

1st half observations :

- Scoot is RED hot but he needs to get better handles and slow it down / patience -- sometimes he is all go and that causes him to make silly mistakes ( turnovers etc )
- Can anyone on this team box out cause I watched and maybe it just seemed like it but the Nets got too many 2nd shots when they should not have
- Billups needs to go ASAP -- btw -- this will be the last thing on any list cause he just needs to be gone -- period

 

And of course, Scoot has had many high points but people take them for granted. The guy has had many good games and a game winner. Now tonight.

 

he's held to a different standard. rightfully so, but people are very hesitant to offer him even the slightest of praise without qualifiers.

 

i don't think his confidence is lacking, ever. even when he's throwing the ball all over or airballing shots.

but it's nice to see validation of his reported hard work.

 

Ill -- that's called being honest not a different standard -- I for one just want him to rock solid keep his TO's under 3 per game and NOT try and be Dame 2.0 -- I think sometimes the shadow of Dame and the fact the Billups coaching etc has been slowing his progress down.

 

Kris Murray is finally shooting 40%.

Unfortunately that is on free throws for the season.

 

Awesome. Way to go Blazers. I did get one link to stream it on my phone but don’t love watching it that way. So it’s back to college basketball again

 

Scouts figured, we'll draft Scooter high, because he has the talent to be a star if he digs deep. That has happened every 20 or 30 games. For one half, he has dropped the Dennis the Menace smile and become a dog. Can he continue for the rest of the season? I hope so.

 

Sharpe’s such a baller

 

The 3 guard lineup plays no defense. Making Tou do all the work

 

ayton has 0 interest in playing.

why is he playing

 

I had a zoom chat with him
