Game 66: Portland vs New York 7:00pm Chargetv and KUNP

Still no number 1 options. This team is full of role players with no star. Where has Shaedon been this whole game? Nice defense on that last play you REMOVED - Moonbeam, down 2 and going under the screen lol. This is why you tank this season, because there's stars at the top of the draft. Epic malpractice. Cronin really is a moron. These are not smart people getting paid a lot of money to be really bad at their jobs. Our best defender goes out and Billups puts Ant on him???

Oh and it's bad enough we have to deal with the lakers douche bags at home games where it literally sounds like a lakers home game, but now we have enough transplants here now, we have the second worst fans in the league TAKING OVER THE ARENA-- KNICKS FANS?????

Yeah it's agitating. I wish he was less "consistent" on defense :lol:

Props to Deni, I'm happy to see someone most of us care about moving forward hit a "game winner"

Scoot is on a scoring bender

Camara fouls out

WTH was that defense by Simons on Bridges?

Heck of a block by DC on OG to prevent an easy score

Is NY trying to give POR this game? Josh Hart with just a bonehead play.

Wow, Bridges is hitting that shot to win the game while Bert/Jodi/Joe looked on was a thing of beauty. I doubt it will change their minds any because they’re clearly delusional people, but this team doesn’t even have a Bridges…..yet

Perfect template for the remainder of the season.

I understand being frustrated, but do not use "autistic" in a derogatory manner.

I think there's a decent chance if the Knicks had a challenge, Deni would have been called for an offensive foul by leading with his elbow. But that did show his strength.

but he did have 7 turnovers and a couple were very costly

Perfect ending... competitive loss.

I keep envisioning the Blazers with this same roster minus Grant and Rupert, replaced with Lillard and Giannis.

Lillard / Scoot / Simons
Camara / Sharpe / Thybulle
Avdija / Murray / Banton
Antetokoumpo / Walker / 2025 Draft Pick
Ayton / Clingan / Williams III

That could be a really fun roster.

He is not a winning player, clear and simple, he can score points, but it is never in a meaningful way to win a game, and he never will be such a player, that is why him being the #1 player on this team is a joke, and the fact that POR management cannot see that is a indictment on their ability to lead this team to anything other than mediocrity

11-games under .500, 15g left. Play in here we come, can’t wait!

Was there a foul just before that (Bridges maybe)? The Blazers have to reduce their turnovers (Sharpe, Scoot, Avdija, etc.).

I tend to use the same math, so this isn't a dis...but I wonder

Blazers are 28-39. If they had won 6 more games they'd be 34-33

so doesn't that mean the Blazers are 6 games under .500?

How much better the team would be if there was Wesley Matthews type in this draft.

Big, strong defensive minded guard who can make his open shots

Walton1one · Post #36 » by **Walton1one** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 5:20 am

If only Wiz, but the part we don’t know is will the 10th seed in the WC have a winning or neutral record or will they have a losing record that makes all the difference for POR’s chances

Suns & Mavs lost, ATL won. so no gains really anywhere.

I wanted us to tank but at this point we're already at the end of the lottery, there's no point anymore. Billups managed to by some miracle coach these dudes into beating 10 teams that are blatantly tanking to save his job and Mr Clean decides, "skies the limit" with this group and makes no trades so we can be bad enough to not make the play in and not get a franchise altering player in the draft. idfk why i mess with this team as long as that do nothing, bridge dwelling gremlin is collecting checks 6 years after her brothers tragic and painful years long battle with cancer came to an end. Sell the team you nasty ogre and give this city the team it deserves. 3 billion wasn't enough money??? I guess it's not about that though right? if she sells the team she doesn't get to dip her claws into the honey pot. Instead of giving billions of dollars to cancer research, she needs another yacht maned by male strippers. What a disgusting person, that literally did nothing to deserve this wealth and hoards it to herself at the expense of the charities her brother wanted to give his fortune to. And shame on the NBA for not forcing a sell 6 years after Allens death.

So if my math is right and correct me if I’m wrong, but POR has to go 10-5 in their last 15 games, and hope that Dallas goes 4-11, just to overcome DAL and the tiebreaker they have over POR

Shaedon is clearly on the spectrum, which isn't a bad thing... I'm on the spectrum too ffs.It's like using the n word if you're black or the f word if you're gay. I just get a little autistic rage sometimes...I'm a very passionate fan lolz
