Blocked Pitot-Static System?

Compare the FR24 data stream of accident flight with previous departure of PK-CLC and same track from RWY 25R(?) CGK two sectors back.

On accident flight, the FR24 Groundspeed readout is 20-40 knots slower during climb from 4000 to 8000 feet.
On accident flight, the FR24 Groundspeed readout "freezes" just above 280 knots climbing above about 10,000 feet instead of increasing as per previous departure CGK two sectors back.

Blocked Pitot-Static System is a possibility?
