Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #52 - BLAZERS VS KINGS - FEB 6, 2024 - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Alright let’s get this shit started.
POR is favored which is like hens teeth.

 

If everyone they traded for is available this will be an impressive win to keep the hottest streak in the league available.

I'm still not sure if everyone who plays today will be sitting after the all star break or not but fuck it... GO BLAZERS!!!

It's our job as fans to support these players and in our particular case hate the fact that we have no owner... we have a group of people managing a trust who don't own shit. They manage this team like they don't have skin in the game. Anyway, I'll be watching and I really hope Shaedon does some crazy shit and Scoot keeps going on his upward trajectory.

 

or just image an image:

 

It's getting crowded from 8 thru 13. 6 teams within 4 games of each other.



Were the last 10 games a blimp in the matrix, or are we looking at a new norm?

I'm looking forward to the game tonight!

 

Be nice to see Shae and Scoot get 30+ minutes tonight. Whatevs

 

So confused what the Blazers are trying to do.

1. Heard the team didn't want to make a trade with winning 9 of 10.
2. Heard we're going to flip to sitting guys out either now or at the allstar break and try to lose games for our pick.

Those two statements don't make sense together. Will see if we start to get any answers tonight.

 

I could see the Kings and Dallas doing worse, its hard to integrate new starters mid season with about 0 practice time. Maybe even the Suns struggle more as well. Our last two games against them felt like the regular season version of what Dame did to break OKC.

Then one of the other teams could always have a star get injured or such and have a huge downslide.

I certainly don't think were catching all these teams. But its possible we get close enough to at least make the last few weeks of the regular season interesting with a possible push for the 10th seed.

That is if we try to win from here on out. No idea what goals the Blazers are going to prioritize the rest of the season.

 

It will be interesting to see the playing times for the various players tonight. We will find out if some guys were being showcased or if Billups is just not that smart. For me it will be interesting to see if Billups begins to restrict what Grant will be allowed to do or will be allowed to keep hurting the team with his isos and turnovers?

 

Grant hasn't been the guy playing the most outside of the offense. It will be interesting to me to see if Ant's role changes. Dude shouldn't be initiating our half court offense, with this starting lineup that should be Deni. Ant shouldn't have ISOs anymore either but I think there are very long odds on Chauncey reigning in either of Ant or Jerami... I hope I'm wrong.

 

I for one am very excited to be attending! It's been a long time since I've felt that way (including the previous games this week).

 

JINX post of the year!

 

If we are no longer in tank mode then I am full tilt on Rip City! Let's get another win tonight!

 

I'm actually looking forward to the game...feels great to have that again in my life. Defense wins championships! Go Blazers!

 

I hate that my fandome for the team has become complicated. Fuck it! Let's beat these Kings' asses. They can stick the beam straight up their urethras (too many people enjoy ass play to keep talking about shoving things up people's asses as a bad thing) I can tell you first hand that there is not a damn thing that's even a little fun about having something even delicately put up your urethra, let along shoved up it. I digress and that digression went to a really weird place but... Go Blazers!!!
