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

[PHXBlazer1]

Good thing there’s no fans..they deserve to be booed off the court

 

[VenomXL]

Dame scoreless in the first half. Seriously? This has to be the worst home opener in a decade. Remember that long streak they had winning home openers?

 

[Strenuus]

I'm about to paint a wall so I can watch it dry just to have something enjoyable to watch.

 

[julius]

"plenty of time for the team to totally change everything about their game plan"

said minutes after

"well, they haven't had enough time to change their game plan this season"

 

[Duckhook]

Good thing there are no fans in the stands... they’d be booed off the court right now. Poor effort and no semblance of game plan. I think Stotts’ seat might be warming up early...

 

[DDolla]

Just trade Dame so he can get a ring. He deserve it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is Charles Barkley nervous yet?

 

[calvin natt]

It’s gonna take some time. Too much talent to be this bad it doesn’t make sense. Might be a month so brace yourselves. Also, can blame whoever you want but if your best player has 0 points and can’t get the team on the same page as its leader, coaching is irrelevant

 

[beast blazer]

If i hear them blame this on lack of practices....

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah the Jazz are double and tripling him every time and not letting him get anything and he refuses to create. Wouldn't be surprised at this point if he doesn't score the whole game.

 

[tlongII]

Ugly.

 

[MickZagger]

How many damn wide open 3’s are we going to give up.

Makes no fucking sense at all

 

[illmatic99]

this is the fourth consecutive game of looking like this.

 

[bobf]

Pipe in the boos.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ 4-11
Melo 0-5

We desperately need a fresh set of eyes in a decision making role. It's painfully obvious we've kept the core way too long, making moves on the margins to try and salvage an unwinnable situation.

 

[DDolla]

looks like this is over...on to the next game

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nothing new here.

Stotts is still garbage but we'll have some here suggesting it's not his fault.

 

[HolyBackboard]

I know no one likes to think pre-season matters but this is the 4th straight game that hasn't been competitive ... there is zero urgency right now by the Blazers.

I've never been the biggest Stotts fan but his stubbornness on defense to continue utilizing the drop coverage is questionable at best. On offense, there is zero movement; it's one pass and iso to the hoop.

 

[Chris Craig]

How many damn wide open 3’s are we going to give up.

Every one of them

 

[MickZagger]

Michael Holton says we’re down by 21 because we aren’t screening as good as Utah is

 

[Mr. Robot]

terry stotts bball baby

 

[BonesJones]

Why the fuck did we take so long to stop dropping the big ?

 

[Hoopguru]

Not that impressed with a Jones. In my opinion he should come off the bench.

 

[illmatic99]

but why tho? New Orleans looked damn good today and they got a completely new system, a new coach, and with a buncha new players. We added Roco and Jones.

 

[brooklynballer]

First they say, "it's just preseason."

Then, "it's just the start of the season."

We are a mess. No actual game plan.

The ball needs to run through Nurk and under Stotts it won't.

You can change the entire roster on this team and nothing will change until that fuckwad behind the bench is fired. I can’t believe that Neil Olshey thinks this is helping his reputation by keeping this ‘coach’ (and I use that term loosely) around.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Continuing to waste Dame's prime....until it's too late.

Its already almost there

 

[Natebishop3]

If you’re Neil how can you continue to watch this?

 

[illmatic99]

Not that impressed with a Jones. In my opinion he should come off the bench.

for some reason, we turned him into a spot up shooter, and all his cutting/dunking is out the window

 

[Jade Falcon]

I really hope Jodi Allen is watching this shit.
