Game Thread EARLY/MORNING GAME! GAME# 22: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - FEBRUARY 6, 2021 - SATURDAY, 10:00, NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

Dame is not moving right

no shit, we saw that since the first quarter. it's why he's doing everything from the perimeter. Should be off the ball right now as a shooting threat, not running offense.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Your personal attacks are there, but you're still not backing up your claim with facts. Stay on topic please.

They aren't personal attacks. They are observations by the way you post here.

I told you where the facts are. If you don't want to look, I can't make you.

 

[bobf]

All you guys are doing is making Stotts very defensive about the way he coaches defense.

Stotts is incapable of getting defensive.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wave the white flag and put in Elleby

 

[B-Roy]

The sloppiness this quarter is insane. So careless. Right up there with the OKC debacle.

It’s pretty obvious to me Dame is hurt. He’s not moving well but still needs to be the initator

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man dame can be so damn iso oriented it makes sense when he doesn’t play the offense is so completely flowing. I get Stotts now

 

[twobullz]

To many bad turnovers and missed FT's in this game. Plus the Knicks just seem to be out hustling the blazers.

BUT THIBS RIDES HIS PLAYERS INTO THE GROUND!

 

[illmatic99]

jesus, dame, can you please not go flying around right now?

 

[bobf]

Ok Hurd do you want to write a book on why Dame missed the layup?

 

[julius]

Hello mediocrity my old friend,
I should stop watching you again,

Because your defense is not happening
Left its ruins while I was watching
And the defense that was implied by the coach
Still remains
We just need, more practice...

 

[TBpup]

6-14 from the FT line.

Shonz, let 'em have it!

 

[James lamphear]

Simons was the only one scoring, but Terry decided to bench him cuz of an unforced turnover.

will he hold Dame as accountable for his TOs?

Simons as minutes restrictions of 20 minutes.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Melo kept showing the ref he just had his elbows out when he rebounded. The replay shows he clearly initiated contact with this shoulder and put it into the defender.

Come on it was a piss poor call if he was calling it on the shoulder. I think the ref thought he connected with his elbow, which he did not.

 

[illmatic99]

how the hell do they get to the rim so easily against a zone?

 

[riverman]

BUT THIBS RIDES HIS PLAYERS INTO THE GROUND!

yeah he does....he broke D Rose and Joakim Noah...he's a guy who doesn't like to play rookies.....Elleby wouldn't see a game under Thibs this season

I told you where the facts are. If you don't want to look, I can't make you.

Please provide a link to the facts. Telling me there are on the internet is not providing them. I googled "terry stotts injuries excuse" and these were the first two links to come up.

100% opposite of what you're saying. Facts.

 

[illmatic99]

Simons as minutes restrictions of 20 minutes.

ah i hope that's the reason for his absence right now

 

[illmatic99]

he's a guy who doesn't like to play rookies.....Elleby wouldn't see a game under Thibs this season

huh? Quickley is killing us right now? you do see that, yes?

 

[TBpup]

Come on it was a piss poor call if he was calling it on the shoulder. I think the ref thought he connected with his elbow, which he did not.

Melo threw his shoulder into him well after the rebound. I would have let it go, but it wasn't the wrong call.

 

[BlazerBeav]

What the hell was that?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Some of you are getting really defensive and you need to Melo.

(See what I did there?)

 

[TBpup]

That sequence epitomizes the game.

 

[ehizzy3]

Why are we so sloppy with the ball

 

[bobf]

Helooooo? You know what? You don’t HAVE to fast break when it’s not there. Value the ball.

 

[James lamphear]

how the hell do they get to the rim so easily against a zone?

Zone defense in not very good rebounding type defense.

 

[julius]

There's no reason to have Damian in the game now.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame can’t sprint

 

[Sheldon Shape]

yeah he does....he broke D Rose and Joakim Noah...he's a guy who doesn't like to play rookies.....Elleby wouldn't see a game under Thibs this season

Did Nate McMillan break Oden? Could it be that those guys had freak injuries?

The guy gets results and has done wonders with a horrific roster as you see today. I'd take him every day of the week over Stotts, who is riding Lillard into the ground now.

 

[Tince]

Simons as minutes restrictions of 20 minutes.

I thought this was common knowledge, but thanks for reminding people.
