Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #15 - BLAZERS @ THUNDER - NOVEMBER 20, 2024 - 5:00 PM PST - KATU - CHARGE - BV

I've been saying that OKC paid big bucks to sign a player like Clingan, but Clingan TOWERS over Hartenstein.

 

Yeah, I saw that. Good for Jerami.

 

OKC is literally 1-9 when Clingan directly contests their shot. Not just their center, not just in the key. The big guy is doing real work out there, and it’s not really being talked about. Don’t make me become Swish3 for Clingan.

 

SGA is incredible - I've never seen somebody that height who's so slithery. BUT: Camara is giving him more fits than any defender I've seen give him... ever.

 

Nobody can make you do what you don't want to do

 

I think it surprised everyone, when Caruso, who had been laying on the floor for several seconds, suddenly popped up right in front of Sharpe.

 

Camara has really improved this year. He looks like he belongs on the court.

 

DC continues to improve. Still needs to protect ball better when he gets his hands on it. He is getting hacked. He needs to do some more acting to get calls. DC a monster defender already.

 

He has always been a sneaky dirty player.

 

Despite having a horrible offense, we're remarkably still in this.

I long for the day when we incorporated more ball movement. When we play a good defensive team like this, the ball sticks in one place or with one guy too much.

But credit to the Blazers for being right there at half despite the turnover fest.

 

A wise man once said Clingan needs a low post move and shot to keep defenses honest. Oh wait, that was me

 

Sharpe should let it fly all night

 

He’ll get there.

 

1-10 when DC contests. They’re also passing away from his coverage.

 

Secure a rebound please

 

3 more rebounds by Clingan pls

 

Don’t take shit from Caruso. Fuck him.

 

TOONAMI!

 

This is interesting. Does this provide credence to the opinion of many that Portland has been shafted by the refs over the years?

 

I hope they work on DC being a high post distributor. I believe he is a good enough passer and can you imagine bad matchups against other teams have to deal with with our height.
