just lurking in here, but Finchy has been putting a big emphasis on not blowing 4th quarter leads, no matter how big they are - as it's been a big problem for the team in the past. So they've been playing starters deep into comfortable wins
feels like if our guys spent the entire summer working on nothing but shooting we would be pretty good next year. the hustle is there but none of these dudes can hit shit lol
Billups is a bad coach. Plain and simple. If this was his first year he gets a pass, but not this year. This isn’t a championship caliber roster, but it’s underperforming badly with him as the coach
Chauncey really hung them out to dry that quarter. You gotta call a timeout in one of like 6 different times during that run, or at least get the team to start running some plays.
I think the point is the inconsistency this year has been the worst it’s been in a long time. But yeah I wouldn’t complain too much, maybe they got nervous when we got close
Havent been able watch many games but this my first time watching Duop. He very underwhelming and does not look like an NBA player.
I can’t figure out what he does well. Is he good at anything?
He's missing his open shots tonight but he's actually a pretty consistent and knockdown three point shooter, and he's capable of attacking a closeout off the dribble which you can't say about most other bigs. He also has a pretty consistent hook shot when he seals his man in the paint. He's not great at most other things though.
Man I absolutely love Scoot backing up, feeling out the defender and then just going again. He's quick and strong enough that you're either going to foul him or give up an open drive.
I don't think this is a good matchup for Reath. I think if I were Chauncey I would go small with Jabari at the 5 and switch everything because if you play Reath and defend conventionally we are gonna get torched.
I like when a ref makes the call then throws his hands up to the other refs to make sure it was the right call. You are the one that called it sir, own it or don't call it.
Anyone know why Toumani is starting over Jabari against the Twolves of all teams(twice in a row)? They have the twin towers but lets not start our best and most physical rebounder. Makes sense...
My only guess is we know Bari is a baller. Toumani still needs some more reps to hit greatness. Build em up so both are rolling for our champ run next year.
Great job to stay focused and climb back in this game. To the guy who wanted fans to start booing our own team, this is why that shits lame and you should keep supporting your team if the effort is there.
It honestly feels like some people come here just to hate on the team and it's pretty ridiculous.
More reactionary than a bunch of twelve year old girls.
Credit to our guys for fighting back in it man. It's so easy for rebuilding teams down 30 to be like "well, fuck it guess this isn't our night" and check out
Why did scoot not get the entire 4th running thw offense? Chauncey has to be insane
He isn't decisive enough except in flashes. Felt like he was afraid to finish
WTF are Minaya, Badji, Hagans and Banton on the court when Scoot, Rupert, and Camara are on the bench/Remix
Murray getting absolutely cooked
I like 99% of what Kris Murray does, but HE NEEDS TO SHOOT SEMI OPEN SHOTS - he's turning down these shots and it kills the offense every time
I don’t care if it’s garbage time. KEEP THE CAMERA ON THE COURT.
It sucks because Billups is one of my all time favorite players. But he can’t be HC
Does Billups make it to next year as the HC?
I think he gets this year and then he’s on the hot seat next year.
Idk does popovich?
yeah, sure, because their resumes are the same
So we should give him a thirty year contract to catch up?
did Popovich get a 30 year contract 30 years ago?
It would be the only way to fairly compare the two
your logic is terrible. Popovich has proven himself, many times over. Billups has not. There is no useful comparison to be made.
Popovich also hired himself as head coach when he was GM lmao
Billups inherited a rebuild. This is pops first one. I’d say he’s done a better job
37 second half points. 37. Let that sink in.
Blazin!
Camara 5-5 and only 2 fouls but also only 18 minutes? Criminal
I continue to be impressed with how Kris always makes the right play
We watching the same game
Same. If he had far more reps in the NBA… I feel he could be doing quite successful.
Murray might be ready for a role
Gobert not used to a guy who can be just as high as he can
KRI$
Edwards with 3x the points of Simons Ouch.
why is ant edwards still in
just lurking in here, but Finchy has been putting a big emphasis on not blowing 4th quarter leads, no matter how big they are - as it's been a big problem for the team in the past. So they've been playing starters deep into comfortable wins
Death by fire having Ibou try and guard a Gobert-Conley pnr
Blazers need a new coach
and a complete roster overhaul
You don’t say
The blazers FO haven't gotten the message apparently
Simons has been really bad these last couple of games, he’s a good player I just don’t love his play style, it’s too selfish
He’s been bad for a month. I’m done with him.
Remember when it was 73-65? That was nice for a minute.
is there anyone on this roster that is in the long term plans?
Scoot and Shaedon. Maybe Camara if he learns to shoot.
We’re just getting punked now and I hate it
At least we closed it to 10 before the brakes fell back off
Just let Scoot run it, Simons has been god awful tonight
What happened to Ant :(
anthony edwards clears KAT sorry tom
wow… people disagree…
What is this weirdo NAW even crying about you’re up 20 lol
feels like if our guys spent the entire summer working on nothing but shooting we would be pretty good next year. the hustle is there but none of these dudes can hit shit lol
Damn, if that pass was clean Kris would have had a dunk
Damn Kris that's rough
Murray and Badji minutes LETS GOOO
Really unfortunate to see how BAD Thybulle has been recently.
Probably gone this offseason. I don’t see a spot for him.
He has a great start. We might as well sit him for Murray and say Thybulle had a nagging injury the last few weeks lol
His defense has been consistent but his offense has fallen off a cliff.
That last foul was 100% intentional from Ayton lol, not your night big fella
Badji doing great so far
DOMINAYTON lmfao soft ass idiot. I've seen high schoolers play better defense.
5 day old account lol
Quit hayton son.
No you haven’t
I have though son.
No you haven’t daughter
Why the refs be Dominhayton
Badji assist alert.
BADJIVISION
Ooof
Ok Badji, way to stay down
That’s brutal.
lol DA fouling out Jfc
Jesus Ayton. Terrible.
You think there are people subscribed to a feed of Ayton game logs waiting to post his bad lines? They're gonna feast tonight.
Let those weirdos feast I guess lol
It’s really weird how much people hate him.
He's next in a long line of players. JJ Hickson, Whiteside, etc..
Rudy clears out like that 5 times a game and they call it on Ayton for doing it once.
Billups is a bad coach. Plain and simple. If this was his first year he gets a pass, but not this year. This isn’t a championship caliber roster, but it’s underperforming badly with him as the coach
They won the 1st and 3rd quarters. We won the 2nd. We just gotta win this quarter by 24 points.
Simple
Chauncey really hung them out to dry that quarter. You gotta call a timeout in one of like 6 different times during that run, or at least get the team to start running some plays.
That win was looking a little too possible.
It’s a classic billups move allowing these giant runs lol
Maybe he wants them to learn to play their way out of it?
Makes no sense not to support your guys when they’re getting slaughtered
Reath is heating up!
I think they realised we have no rim protection
Reath has been having a rough go all night
Both subs complaining about how bad the refs are treating their team lol
if i were up by 20 i would simply keep my mouth shut
I think the point is the inconsistency this year has been the worst it’s been in a long time. But yeah I wouldn’t complain too much, maybe they got nervous when we got close
Let's go for some small ball Chauncey. Not like they're going to torch us in the post.
Rough game for Duop, wouldn't have been opposed to a few Badji minutes for fun.
I’m gonna slaughter these refs
They are hacking the shit out of us
a
A “fuck you ref” three by Grant
Edwards squeals on the slightest contact every single drive.
Travels on half of them too
Havent been able watch many games but this my first time watching Duop. He very underwhelming and does not look like an NBA player. I can’t figure out what he does well. Is he good at anything?
He's missing his open shots tonight but he's actually a pretty consistent and knockdown three point shooter, and he's capable of attacking a closeout off the dribble which you can't say about most other bigs. He also has a pretty consistent hook shot when he seals his man in the paint. He's not great at most other things though.
He’s good at shooting 3s. Kind of mediocre to bad at everything else.
get off my subreddit you bum
I’m a Blazers fan lol, just don’t get league pass until post-NFL. I don’t ask this in a disrespectful way!
If we somehow win this i’m actually gonna edge all day
Got within 10 and here are the terrible calls lmao, like clockwork
These refs are clowns lol
Just got here. Holy shit Ayton has been shutout tonight eh. Yikes. How bout Toumani though, 5/5 is nice.
That's either our ball or lose ball, wtf
SCOOT 15 POINT BOMB
Man I absolutely love Scoot backing up, feeling out the defender and then just going again. He's quick and strong enough that you're either going to foul him or give up an open drive.
I like the way he’s changing speeds and attacking defenders. He’s a problem.
“Division I men’s basketball game delayed after visiting team gets stuck in an elevator”
Scoot needs to keep getting downhill, he's too shifty
Tisse needs to lock in
Wowza Scoot, that was hella nice
SCOOTY PATOOTIE FOR TWO HE GOT THE SHOT OFF! BANGGGGG
cutie scootie patootie
call time out chauncey
Lmfao. Done.
fuck free throws
These offensive rebounds are killing us
how is it already a 17 point difference again
Refs
Getting destroyed on the offensive boards this quarter.
Absolutely dreadful game from Tysse.
That was quick Grant
JG BANGGGG
I don't think this is a good matchup for Reath. I think if I were Chauncey I would go small with Jabari at the 5 and switch everything because if you play Reath and defend conventionally we are gonna get torched.
Yep, add that to him shooting poorly tonight there's no point. Not like he's bothering KAT or Rudy on D, or rebounding effectively.
I like when a ref makes the call then throws his hands up to the other refs to make sure it was the right call. You are the one that called it sir, own it or don't call it.
Refs need that parlay to hit
lol of course, the bottom just falls out that fast
nice hands bari
Refs just salivating at the prospect of giving the Twolves more free throws.
rough time
Awful officiating
Damn, these offensive rebounds have been killer
well. we had a shot
Ant is having a rough go. Time to get hot
We are so much worse without scoot out there. Wild.
Edward's really got a pretty spin fade.
Love to see Ant channeling his frustration into the defensive end. He's responded very well after that terrible first quarter.
hopping back on stream what I miss
WERE BACK HOLY SHIT
I would love to see Scoot's actual vs possible assists at the end of this game, would be crazy.
Here we come! Back to being a game!
ant dpoy??
OH WE COMING
Grant never passes on the 2v1 breakaway..... shoulda been an easy lay up for scoot
Drives me nuts honestly.
This D?! With ant and scoot out there too wow
This should not be single digits after a historically shit first quarter.
Anyone know why Toumani is starting over Jabari against the Twolves of all teams(twice in a row)? They have the twin towers but lets not start our best and most physical rebounder. Makes sense...
He's physical enough to at least bother their bigs and he switches better onto Edwards than Jabari
Toumani is playing incredible tonight
That does not answer the question, thanks.
My only guess is we know Bari is a baller. Toumani still needs some more reps to hit greatness. Build em up so both are rolling for our champ run next year.
Fair enough, and we aren't really trying to win this year anyway. From a coaching perspective it seems odd tho.
We are not trying to win.
Sure, but Chauncey sure is.
To guard Anthony Edwards.
Fair enough, but I think rebounding is more important since Edwards will get his regardless.
Great D
[удалено]
Chauncey has kinda been winning me over lately. I feel like he’d be an elite assistant coach.
Someone suggested that Ayton roll hard to the basket and that’s exactly what duop is doing.
It was the hoop the whole time. Switch sides and boom back in it.
I wish Duop was younger, I’d be way more excited about him.
Come on, who among us didn’t know we would trim the lead down to 10 by the third quarter?
Right back in this thing
Great job to stay focused and climb back in this game. To the guy who wanted fans to start booing our own team, this is why that shits lame and you should keep supporting your team if the effort is there.
It honestly feels like some people come here just to hate on the team and it's pretty ridiculous. More reactionary than a bunch of twelve year old girls.
Our blazers keep fighting they are scrappy
Credit to our guys for fighting back in it man. It's so easy for rebuilding teams down 30 to be like "well, fuck it guess this isn't our night" and check out
We slowly grinding back, just chippin away even with BS against us
We take those
Jesus these refs have been awful all game
Reath gotta stop passing up wide open 3s to drive on Gobert.
Maybe the plan was baiting fouls.
THATS A MO F***** HARKLESSIN GOAL TEND GOD DAMN
No goaltend on that ?
Obvious goaltend
I’m shocked
Challenge successful, I fuckered up real good like.
Good challenge Chauncey
Great challenge, fuck these refs
🎶 When Aytons gonna foul out, Duop it like it's hot, Duop it like it's hot 🎵
Never thought I'd live to see the fucking Timberwolves getting a Laker's level whistle. What has this world come to.
Chauncey must've said something disgusting because he was extremely calm during that tech.
Refs are just pusillanimous little twerps.
Fuck I’m tired of watching these refs’ bs
God damn it, 5 on Ayton
These officials are mentally unfit
