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

I'm not so sure.... This sounds exactly like what another NBA head coach in that building is thinking.

 

Winning what?

 

Yeah it's crazy hearing how great both these drafts are.

I guess that's what happens when you have an epically awful draft a year earlier as in 2024.

 

He’s coaching for his next pay day.

 

10 of 11 games

I mean imagine if we started the season 10-1

 

That was a fun game! The crowd was really into it. This team is fun to watch.

Now lets win the next one!

 

I'm hoping we can slip into the 7th spot to avoid OKC.

 

Grant, Ayton, and Ant all have WCF experience. Ayton has Finals experience!

 

We are the 2019-2020 Suns

 

How many of you got one of my hats? Cmon FAMS, I get a %!

 

I chatted with Hillinger the other day in the media room. Told him all about S2 and how there is a John Hollinger account on here and he cracked up. Said he hope he’s at least posting quality takes!

 

Better than his own real takes

 

@Mediocre Man never posted who is to blame Sacramento and I had all kinds of ideas! Trying to decide between Gavin Newsom and the Delta smelt. Or the fucking parking meter that ate my Amex at last year's yarn show so in the middle of the show I was frantically calling American Express to cancel my card.

 

I thought I saw Deni wincing a few times and he seems more guarded in his play. Two nights in a row he's had his minutes curtailed, he may be playing through an issue of some sort

You were given 1 point for my error

 

I hope Banton plays in front of Murray the rest of the season. Murray is not an NBA quality player.

 

Both Simons and Sharpe played well in another win & Shaedon got the 31 minutes he's averaged for the season.

It often seems like some are here for a good melt down

Sure Sharpe got minutes - at the expense of Deni who was benched and only played 18.

Meanwhile Grant leads the Blazers with 37 minutes shooting 36% FG and 29% on 3's. I guess we should congratulate Grant as a PF last night with 4 rebounds, as its higher than his season average.

 

Man what happened to Keegan.

 

Yeah Keegan's 3pt shooting is down to 32%, and starting he only scores 12ppg in a high scoring offense. Little to no improvements from his solid rookie season.

Still he smokes his twin - as Kris is shooting 25.8% on 3s. He shot 26.8% last year. This was a low upside old unathletic rookie that was supposed to be a role player on day one and is the same age as Deni/Ant/Banton/Camara/Ayton. If he was younger like Rupert I could understand continuing to develop him. He's a waste of a roster spot. Hopefully we don't guarantee his 4th year rookie contract in the summer.
