Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #79 - BLAZERS VS SPURS - APR 6, 2025 - SUN - 3:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

These are professional players. Do we really expect them just to pack it in?

 

Why stop at losing the 8th lotto slot? Let’s win some more games and draft behind whoever loses in the Eastern Conference play in.

 

Time to fire EVERYONE in the front office and coaching staff accept Mike Schmitz -- No joke

 

I expect us to sit our good players because this was a critical loss.

 

Actually, we can back from 8 up to lose to Spurs late in the season in 2022. And that’s how we got Sharpe.

 

nobody is saying that

 

Yes I get that no one is explicitly saying that but I know a lot could care less if we win or not.

Yes I understand the concept of getting us a better chance in the lottery but I just want to see us win and in essence hoping we lose, will never make sense to me.

But to each their own.

 

Nate why do you care your lord and savior -- Cronin is on the job so why does it even matter ??

He does not need a good draft pick to help this rebuild since he cannot do no wrong and has fans like you who think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

Murray picked a bad time to have a career night.

Even when we want him to just do what he's always doing, he can't come through for the good of the tank.

 

brainless act. there was nothing to gain and so much to lose

 

Dumb win. Dumb franchise

 

Last 3 minutes I had a feeling Shaedon was purposely boinking drives as though he knew a loss meant better teammate. He missed at least three layups late

 

It was great seeing everybody! Fun time!

 

Not at all how the players think

 

And this win pretty much guarantees they can’t be 8 seed in lotto. Throw away play in hopes just to screw up the lottery. Awesome. Mediocre at its finest..

 

win the battle...lose the fucking war. That's the incessant argument around here

with a loss today, there was a possibility that the Blazers could end up 8th seed in the lottery. Portland trying to win out, as you advocate, could actually bump the Blazers to 12th seed

8th seed has a 26.2% shot at a top-4 pick
12th seed has 7.2% shot

a better than a 1-in-4 chance vs a 1-in-14 chance

 

you're probably right. it's just i noticed uncharacteristic close misses in succession from him when the game was still undecided

 

I get what your saying friend but people on here are some of the most negative people I have ever known. And the NBA draft is watered down this year imo any way. So not getting a top 4 pick versus having to settle if you will for a top 12 one is imo not that big of a difference.

I expect to be in the minority with that thinking and thats fine.

 

So they were without Ayton, Williams, Duop, Deni, Grant, Simons, and Scoot.
Who exactly did you want to sit this game? Sharpe? He was 5-17, he did his part.

The constant whining is a little over the top at this point.
