Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #51 - BLAZERS VS PACERS - FEB 4, 2025 - TUES - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

This has been great but the key to keeping this going isn't to prevent regression, it's to continue ascension, continue to get better. That goes for the players, the coaches and yeah the front office. No one should be content with where this team is at. I don't really think there is such thing as sustaining in sports. If a team thinks they're treading water they're likely regressing. We can't do that and continue to dominate.

I hope everyone in the Blazers organization is thinking that way.

 

There's a few things the Blazer are doing that make this seem like it's not entirely a fluke:

1 Defending at a high level, even solid with the Ant Ayton lineups.
2 Many offensive creators, it's not just 1 or 2 players shooting lights out
3 Great bench production - mainly from Scoot and Sharpe plus the alternating Timelord/Clingan big.

 

Shockingly close. They closed out the season 17-11 to go 41-41. They also got the 3rd pick because they had the Brooklyn pick which was the 9th best odds. The Blazers right now have.....the 9th best odds.

 

Quitting is Raymond Felton Jamal Crawford Blazer teams. Hell even our team this year against the Jazz.

Pacers ran into a hot team on a B2B and lost. Happens dozens of times to good playoff teams every season.

 

A question for @THE HCP and maybe this one is a little outside of your job description but do you think or know if your producer or someone even higher up in the organization tells the on air talent not to discuss the trade deadline during broadcasts???

 

they mentioned the trade deadline in the post game show

 

Does anyone know why the arena, especially the 300 level was so empty tonight? I don't think I've see the 300 level that empty. Were people worried about the weather ?

 

Bandwagoners

 

Wondering if a team 15 games below .500 ever made the playoffs. I think the Suns made the playoffs and got a decent seed after starting the season 0-13.

 

His foot was on the line

Hahahaha no. SGA, Luka, and Brunson all better than him. Also, Lillard, Garland, and LaMelo Ball. Fox. Ja. Curry, Maxey. So Hali not top 10.

I think we have done it without him too. Grant missed at least one game during this streak.

We’re only 3 wins behind 8th seeded Sacramento and we play them next.

 

Lol. The dudes are professionals. It would be extremely bad taste to discuss trading your own guys and speculating/spreading rumors that you aren't even involved in.

 

Wtf happened to Haliburton.

 

But.... we're winning?

 

Toumani Camara

 

Dame trade lookin good. Toumani, Ayton, RW, anc Deni. Nice work Joe.

 

I’ve mentioned he’s been doing good you dork. Multiple times. Amen is still way better

 

I don't think Amen can ever be THAT GUY.

Scoot can and likely will.

And I love Amen as a player. His shooting will stop him from being a top option on offense.

 

In 2025 so far, Scoot ranks #1 in 3-point shooting %,

and #1 in True Shooting percentage for the Trail Blazers.
