Notice Blazers vs Kings- 12/11/20 OFFICIAL GAME THREAD.....

[julius]

I think in a normal season, the defense would start hitting it's stride in December, and by January/Feb, would be a passable defensive team.

This years though, they'll need to get that shit together by the end of december/middle of Jan

 

[Chris Craig]

Offensively Blazers killing it

Need to pick up the defense

 

[oldfisherman]

Melo scores 10 pts in 4 minutes!

 

[Big Dog]

the teams defense looks like it's in pre-season form. Hopefully it's a WIP.

No Nurk. Remember he turned a poor defensive team into a top 10 defensive team and i believe at one time top 6

 

[JoshuaHall]

And we stil have Nurkic, Collins and Hood. Big challenge for Stotts to keep everybody happy

Just win baby

 

[B-Roy]

Yo, Elleby can move on defense.

 

[riverman]

Giles with the +1

 

[TBpup]

New guys doing well. DJJ with 8 early points and Giles with the follow put back.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm just looking for flashes from our young guys and I'm seeing it. Seeing that and Melo playing with a ton of energy.

 

[Tince]

Melo loving this 2nd unit role making him feel like his Knick days where he was the #1 option.

 

[TBpup]

Giles showing that passing ability early....so good to see.

 

[julius]

My serious wet dream is a strong defensive team. I love defense. I've hated the shitty and lazy defense that the team has used over the (way too many) years.

 

[illmatic99]

who the hell am i supposed to hate on? i dig everyone on the squad.

 

[JoshuaHall]

melo is gonna absolutely cook bench units

 

[julius]

This teams 3 point defense is still shitty

 

[Tince]

Richard Jefferon calling Elleby a rotation player this year; showing he's in preseason form as well.

 

[Chris Craig]

Elleby bringing the energy

 

[James lamphear]

We still have trouble guarding 3 point line.

 

[MickZagger]

Elleby’s mannerisms on the court remind me a lot of Babbitt

 

[TBpup]

Of course it is early, but I'm seeing a lot of wide open '3's being given up on the defensive end....just like last year.

 

[illmatic99]

Elleby’s mannerisms on the court remind me a lot of Babbitt

that mechanical lefty stroke aint helping

 

[craigehlo]

Really like Giles so far. Elleby isn't a total dumpster fire, but I'm not sure he was worth the flier in the 2nd.

 

[Chris Craig]

Elleby’s mannerisms on the court remind me a lot of Babbitt

He is very deer in the headlights. Funny enough he played better on the defensive end his first minutes as a Blazer

 

[James lamphear]

It looks like there trapping a lot up top but the rotation is slow right now.

 

[LayneStaley]

So if Simons doesn’t make a leap this year are we gonna sign a pg next offseason? He just looks slow to me.

 

[illmatic99]

Really like Giles so far. Elleby isn't a total dumpster fire, but I'm not sure he was worth the flier in the 2nd.

giles and jones have impressed me most so far

 

[Chris Craig]

Really like Giles so far. Elleby isn't a total dumpster fire, but I'm not sure he was worth the flier in the 2nd.

I'm liking what I am seeing from Giles. Him and Jones are going to give us easy buckets

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Harry!!!

 

[James lamphear]

Nice job Giles!

 

[TBpup]

THROW IT DOWN young man!
