Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #40 - BLAZERS VS CLIPPERS - JAN 16, 2025 - THURS - 7 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

This is pathetic and I am done

How about we send Ayton and a couple other Blazers down to the G-league and bring a couple players from there cause they would at least hustle and give a damn -- these MoFo's are paid millions of dollars to be lazy SoB's

Nice job Billups and Cronin -- Billups cannot coach and Cronin thought bringing in a lazy PoS to be the KEY piece for Dame and for some reason refuses to fire Billips -- ROFL

Cronin fans defend this garbage -- I dare you too !!!

 

It's like it's just too much effort for Ayton to step one foot closer to those little guys shooting floaters. And did he notice how both Williams and Jabari defended Zubacs one on one by putting their body on him? Is he allergic to skin to skin contact?

 

Add on Rant:

I thought Cheeks and Nate were bad coaches -- and they had there flaws but I would take either of them over Billups at the moment and that is sad. -- HELL -- Stotts can return at this point cannot be any worse -- ok maybe that might be too far but damn this is so sad.

 

I’ve only been able to catch bits and pieces but holy shit Simons is the definition of a heat check bench player.

 

Yeah it’s weird. I like what I’ve seen out of Rupert. He has much more of a future than Murray. Unless the Blazers are showcasing Murray.

 

Yep. I’ve been saying this awhile now.

 

A first for Svoot?

 

The Clippers are more athletic than we are. Some of their players had novel moves with athleticism; none of ours did.

Scooter has shown some outside shooting in the last week. If he can keep it going for the rest of the season, we'll forget about over a year of suckitude at that skill. Meanwhile, he still gets an F at inside shooting. His stupid passes have decreased, and he's almost mediocre (C-).

Harden's favorite whiner move as a Rocket was his acting after minor fouls. He would feign great pain, on the floor on all fours, his ass up in the air, for like a full minute, while the refs decided poor thing, we'll call the foul. I posted a few years ago about his "Ass in the Air" technique.

Well, he has taught his Clipper teammates. Tonight, Porter and Powell did it. And I watched less than half the game, so there were probably more.

 

Rupert splash!

 

It’s downward-facing dog, It’s a yoga move.

 

thank god this game is over with -- now time for Billups to spew BS excuses -- screw him

 

I’m surprised Justin Minaya is even on an NBA roster. At no time have I ever thought wow he did something constructive out there.

 

What do you mean he’s on an NBA roster? I think he plays for the Blazers.

 

Goddam 37.4% from the field! That's fucking terrible.

At some point in the fourth when we still hadn't got to 70 points the 100 point play graphic came up and I thought maybe the guys in the truck were clowning the guys on the roster.

 

solid snark

 

Yes. He shouldn’t be. He’s like Keljin Blevins. Should be on a C league Euroleague team.

 

You're right. I shouldn't give Harden all the credit. He probably developed the move with assistance from his cocker spaniel Sweet Missy.

 

This is what you get when you’re tanking.
