Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #58 - BLAZERS @ JAZZ - FEBRUARY 24, 2025 - MON - 6:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

Eh, Grant played good defense as usual. Probably our second best defender after Tou.

Sloppy win - but I always love winning in SLC.

 

You just named the 3 most expensive players on the roster. Literally all over 100 million and couple of them over 120m.. those type of players WILL ALWAYS START

 

So you want our young star to play extended minutes in a massive blowout? How would you feel if he played more and got hurt?

 

hey! you know how to avoid injury?....don't play them at all!

 

There's just no excuse. Anyone with eyes can see that Simons is mediocre as fuck.

10-23 from the field and 3-13 from three. Come the fuck on. There's no reason to play him 37 minutes.

 

He had them in the game in the 4th quarter with us up 40+. You think they should’ve stayed in the game to the end? That’s kind of insult. They’re not garbage time players. That’s what Banton and McGowens are for.

 

Whether you like it or not, the goal was to win and we won. Onto the next game.

 

Correlation does not imply causation.

 

I’ll never understand why people complain about minutes after the fact. Like, Billups should’ve known he’d be 3/13 from 3 tonight and so he should’ve played him less.

 

He’s to expensive to come off the bench! Whats wrong with ya.. no nba player who makes Simon’s money comes off the bench. It’s unheard of

 

Really not sure what the hell I'm supposed to root for with this team. We're clearly not getting a good pick. Clearly not good enough to make the playoffs. Clearly not playing the young guys in Scoot Sharpe that Cronin said the franchise was building around. Clearly will be stuck with our crappy vets like Grant for many years.

Clearly seems like I should stop following this directionless franchise. Question why I subject myself to the torture.

 

This is the frustration a lot of fans are having with this team. Thank you for saying it so eloquently

 

I don't know that can call it a lot of fans. Yes, in this forum, there are a about 5-10 of you that post this multiple times a game and it feels like a lot of people, but that's just an echo chamber. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see certain players over others too, and that’s totally normal. But being consumed by that desire and trying to spread the frustration to others? That’s a different story.

 

Most casual fans just check out and do other things with their lives. The 10 of 11 wins brought some back but that's now ended.

Rose Garden has huge sections that are empty this year outside of Lakers fans filling it up when they come to town.

 

you're the only person making that argument and you're taking both sides and arguing with yourself....get a grip

 

I guess at this point we just root for wins and hope the team is within a few wins of the playin at the end of March?

Probably better to get the experience playing games that matter than worrying about our #10 pick dropping to #12.

 

This is actually a different story

You said yourself that you a slightly frustrated with who is playing
