Game Thread GAME# 1: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 23, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Natebishop3]

Some of the worst basketball I have ever seen

In four straight games.

 

[julius]

"we have to get off to a strong start"

promptly gets down by 19 points in the home opener

 

[B-Roy]

The decisions this team makes are all hamstrung by sentimental value. To the killer contracts in 2016, to keeping Stotts this long, to resigning Melo. I want new ownership that has no ties to this current group.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Mercy Stotts, mercy!

 

[Strenuus]

Charles Barkley apparently DOES like to lose money.

 

[Ed O]

Carmelo Anthony has had one of the worst stretches of basketball I can remember so far in this game. Ugh.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hey, at least it's equal opportunity suckage from our team. Nobody need feel like they're not the ones to blame - everybody's bad!

 

[julius]

"this is the last season you want to implement a new defense"

Oh hey, I know, maybe implement one the very first year he was coaching here??

 

[beast blazer]

Stotts doesn't have the balls to risk upsetting his players

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Carmelo Anthony has had one of the worst stretches of basketball I can remember so far in this game. Ugh.

He's missing off the front of the rim badly and it's launching fast breaks every time. And then he's comically bad on D.

 

[TBpup]

Just absolutely no ball movement. Melo goes out, CJ comes in....rinse, repeat.

 

[Natebishop3]

We have the least imaginative offense I have ever seen. I have seen better offense from high school teams.

 

[Mediocre Man]

The good news is being 2 hours ahead of most of you, I can get to bed at a decent hour

 

[Strenuus]

YAY! A dunk! 2 points closer....

 

[BlayZa]

it really doesnt matter who is brought into the team, the philosophy and game plan never changes.
quality players come in, get moulded into being worse versions of themselves in a worse system with worse results.
dame pulls out some shit n saves the year.
stotts plans for next year with another grace period.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You know what'll settle this team down? When we bring in our savvy, pass-first backup PG!

 

[bobf]

Our bench should be Trent, Kanter, Giles with as little of Melo as possible and probably Hood too.

 

[Natebishop3]

Play the starters from here on out. Let them figure this shit out.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So far we can’t shoot, pass or defend. Makes the game a lot harder

 

[Strenuus]

We could go 0-10 to start if this is how we look. Good shit.

This defense is worse than the state of our country. HA. That's sad.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I am firmly on the “every loss brings us closer to firing Stotts” bandwagon.

9 years. 9 years and he still hasn't figured out a new playbook. It's absolutely pathetic.

 

[BlayZa]

someone in the chat of the stream im watching just asked - "is this a WNBA game?"

 

[Hoopguru]

We just need to move the ball.

 

[Darkwebs]

Is that Nurkic or Michael Jordan with the hang time lay up?

 

[Strenuus]

Doesnt help that Dame has 0 points.

 

[bobf]

RoCo do not pass on open 3’s

 

[julius]

I was always annoyed by the announcers being super excited about a play when the team is down by doubl digits and playing like ass.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Heard just said that Utah is the last team you want to work on a new defense against; pretty sure he said the exact same thing about Denver last week....

 

[Natebishop3]

God I’m so fucking sick of the selfish ball.

 

[julius]

Doesnt help that Dame has 0 points.

he's pouting!
