Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #73 - BLAZERS @ HAWKS - MARCH 27, 2025 - WEDNESDAY - 4:30 PM PST - ROOT

Ashton hit a moneyball,
Blazers up 3 after 1

 

At this point in the season, Scoot should be earning shots and playing time.

0-3 with 4 turnovers should earn a place on the bench.

 

Disagree. Not beyond repair. Just needs more time to learn. I don't think he'll ever be the star some hoped but I think he will become a decent player.

 

Jabari driving into stormy weather. Hawks reclaim lead, Billups calls timeout

 

What is the deal with Blazers forcing contested shots early in the clock? It's like if they get close to the hoop they absolutely have to throw up a bad shot.

At times they're passing the ball around well. Then it goes away. Hagans and Walker. Why?

 

Wasn't playing well. Wanted to get out of the game.

 

Banton heating up

 

Through the year I've seen some improvement in Scoot but also a lot of mistakes.
My best hopes for the young guys are in Camara and Rayan. Neither will be stars but I think Camara is already a good role player and Rayan has the potential to be a good role player.

The rest (including Walker) may stick around but I don't really see as important to keep around. Perhaps we'll get some talent that could pan out from this year's draft but overall, our rebuild feels more like dumpster diving for talent than a rebuild.

 

Rupert is fantastic at kick-outs. Many of his teammates could learn from him.

He's a fantastic teammate in general.

 

Banton is clearly the number 1 option with these latest roster constructions.

 

Moses euro-step Les Schwab play of the night

 

some rando Hawk named Windler keeps sticking 3 pointers

 

Scoot, couple of 3-pt plays, then misses a layup on a steal and tries to put Moses Brown into the fourth row.

 

dear god, scoot & layups

as if watching nurk missing them for years wasnt enough...

 

why Scoot didn't dunk that? He looked freaking athletic at Ignite, what happened to his athleticism?

 

Windler's one tool coming out of college is he could shoot 3s.

 

where is this Scoot?

 

I agree with the Atlanta crew that Portland keeps making bad decisions but somehow the game is tied up?

 

Duop midrange fadaway. Tie game! Coach Snyder calls timeout, he's happy his team isn't losing.

 

Dejounte making it look easy, 15pts
