Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #60 - BLAZERS @ NETS - FEBRUARY 28, 2025 - FRI - 4:30 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

LMAO, Clingan smacked the hell out of Sharpe.

 

I love DC.

 

Don't we have any bench player we can put in now?

 

Scoot so sharp on the defensive end. No pun intended.

 

Sidy sidy sidy

 

one thing I don’t like about Delano

 

4 in a row!
Nice to see these young guys playing hard. Build that winning culture.

 

So we beat another team who doesn't care to win. We'll probably do it again in Philly but I'm gonna bet the othe 6 out of our next 7 show us where we're really at against teams that are trying to win. I don't know what I'm hoping for.

I really want Shaedon to keep on playing well, obviously I'm coming to expect solid play from Tou. Scoot's defense and setting up teammates is really showing lately. These are all good things. We won tonight without our second and third best forwards but again it's against a team that didn't want the win.

 

Good to see the young guys get a lot of burn. Also good to see them string wins together. Young as we are we have a pretty solid bench.

 

When do we lose the pick to CHI? It seems inevitable. I guess Joe has some way of landing a superstar in the offseason by dealing Grant, Ant, and Ayton and a Frp. Who could refuse that offer for an all star?

Let’s face it, they are running it back next year.

 

You mean with Grant and Ayton starting? Oh. no.

 

The Bucks would give you Lillard and Lopez for that package if they flame out this playoff season. Might have to throw in Reath. If our young core makes some noise, Dame will want to come home..just watch. He was hugging Jody and Joe last time he was in town.

 

When we make the playoffs which is the opposite of inevitable this season. The Kings would have to drop under .500 and they're two games above .500 right now. At the same time we would have to win 14 out of our last 22 games. That's just to get the last seed in the play-ins where we'll have to win two games in a row on the road against hungry teams.

The odds are going to be much longer when we get done with this next 7 game stretch where the only team not looking to get into the playoffs is Philly. We play the Cavs, Sixers, Celts, Thunder, Pistons, Warriors and Knicks.

 

Been a while since I enjoyed watching Blazers.

 

Maybe he’s doing his best Inigo Montoya impression, and he’s not really left handed?

 

Chauncey Billups isn’t bad huh lol

 

Yeah I'd bet we run it back next year, keep Ayton Ant Grant starting and Scoot Sharpe benched.

Main question I have is if we will extend Ayton or Ant or both.

 

The trade that makes more sense is the Blazers acquiring both Dame and Giannis but giving the Bucks their picks back plus some of our youth/picks.

I don't think this off-season, but if the trajectories keep going this direction maybe 2026 off-season.

 

Kris Murray was a bad pick at the time and looks much worse today. Hope we don't pick up his option.

 

For a free guy we picked up who never complains and is probably worth 10x what he’s paid when he’s actually producing, I wouldn’t trip too much
