Casual fan huh?

Just a fan who is nearly blind, but knows what he can see.

 

[aceboon]

Maybe he becomes a decent player one day but watching these Blazers games Yang Hasen is terrible and I don't understand why they took him over Coward or even trading the pick to the Pelicans since they were willing to give up an unprotected first rounder for the draft spot. Folks were jumping the gun over Summer League play and saying he was going to take DC's spot but he's miles away from what DC was as a rookie.

Slomo it, The ball is clearly going up!

 

[thekollieman]

Does anyone have an actual explanation as to why that was not recorded as a block for Clingan?

 

[aceboon]

Not sure if it matters, but that ball was never going in. The ball was going down.

It doesn't matter, it's a block

So Vegas didn’t have to payout somebody who had the over on his blocks.

Honestly that’s the most likely explanation until I find out it was actually called a foul on Clingan lol

The off the board alley oop Castle did to Wemby last night also didn’t count as an assist.

The NBA stats team needs to be hit with a warrant.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

2-4 from 3 for DC. 16-33 his last 14 games. Keep shooting kid

Apparently, not according to whoever records blocks.

 

[Waquoit]

Big DC starting to play with an attitude. Watch out.

I agree with aceboon that he was looking a bit less lively on D since the injury but the effort was still there and coach keeps him in. But yeah, this week he's looking like he's getting back to his old self.

I asked ChatGPT to analyze the picture. You would not like the answer.

The ball was on its way down, below the basket. Zero chance that ball was going in.

You're having a lot of trouble with the rule.

 

[temery]

You're having a lot of trouble with the rule.

A shot has to have had a chance of going in for it to be considered blocked. That ball was never going in the hoop.

Did they count it then as a missed FGA for Castle and an OREB for Wemby?

More importantly to Portland, over his last 8 games he's averaging 30 mpg, to go along with 13.4 p/11.2 r/2 a/1.5 b,. Most out of whack, he's shooting 70% from the field but only 43% from the line.

You're confused by goaltending and a blocked shot.

Nope. Didn’t give Castle the steal prior to it either.

 

[superjohn]

Nope. Didn’t give Castle the steal prior to it either.

Wow, they took two stats away from him on one sequence.

 

[thekollieman]

Nope. Didn’t give Castle the steal prior to it either.

That’s crazy. So did they give the steal to Harrison Barnes instead (it looks like he maybe deflected the pass attempt)? I haven’t seen it formatted as an afterthought in parenthesis like that before… and since there is nothing else inserted regarding the offensive play are they just counting Steph throwing it off the backboard as a non-event?

If he did tip it that is his steal. That is the way the NBA has counted steals as long as I can remember.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Jokic to he re-evaluated in 4 weeks. Very happy it’s not more serious than the hyper-extension they say. unfortunately he may not be eligible for MVP as there are 18 games in that time frame. That sucks with the season he is having.
