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

[PHXBlazer1]

Hope they have a players only meeting after this horseshit

 

[TBpup]

Nice Blazer run....to get within 24.

 

[calvin natt]

It's not neccessarily guards keeping guys in front of them. Guards aren't good defenders, CJ especially, but drop coverage on their PnR is destroying us.

If they can’t keep people in front of them it’s literally 5 on 4. It’s not going to happen 100% of the time. But getting past that first layer is so easy and puts everyone else in a bad position.

 

[Chris Craig]

Oh man Blazers back within 24, better take a timeout

 

[perkinsfor3]

And this is why many of us were waiting for the front office to bring in a PG this offseason. Teams are just going to continue trapping the shit out of Dame

 

[LuckyShot]

What the fuck is this shit?

 

[BigGameDamian]

I have never seen a team look completely defeated and broken in the first game of the season.

Apparently you didn't see the GS Nets game last night.

 

[Duckhook]

Do the Blazers crack 80 tonight?

 

[B-Roy]

Every shot the Jazz take, even the missed ones, are wide open. That’s hard to do even if you tried.

 

[Natebishop3]

So how many blowouts before Stotts is gone?

 

[julius]

I'm tired of the predictable offense, and predictable (lack of) defense.

Stotts might be a nice guy, but he needs to go packing.

 

[BlayZa]

at this point id be fairly confident Stotts could convert LeBron or Luka into a 12pt 5rb 3ast player without much effort whatsoever.

 

[Darkwebs]

Apparently you didn't see the GS Nets game last night.

I guess we can finally say Stotts has reached Steve Kerr's coaching level.

 

[Chris Craig]

Might as well start rooting for the Jazz

 

[julius]

So how many blowouts before Stotts is gone?

All of them.

 

[Natebishop3]

How are we so bad at rebounding?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

It feels like every team we play is the Yankees, and we're just throwing batting practice...

 

[Sheldon Shape]

"He made Derrick Jones into a good three point shooter." Lulz

 

[PHXBlazer1]

3 chances

 

[BonesJones]

Terry, you CANT play Enes and Melo together. How do you not see this? I'm so baffled.

 

[BlayZa]

2 sequential offensive rebounds by Utah, zero boxing out, zero awareness. ladies n gentlemen, your 20-21 Blazers.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We can’t even run a simple give n go..or defend one apparently

 

[illmatic99]

kanter doing nothing on defense

 

[AldoTrapani]

2 sequential offensive rebounds by Utah, zero boxing out, zero awareness. ladies n gentlemen, your 20-21 Blazers.

I been trying to tell ya

 

[Jade Falcon]

kanter doing nothing on defense

Let's not start blaming this on Kanter please.

 

[julius]

On the plus side, so far Gary Trent Jr hasn't done himself any favors for a huge contract.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Dame has been garbage for a few weeks now

 

[BlayZa]

Ingles is like a Manu, just does a bit of everything pretty well. annoyingly well actually.

 

[julius]

Fast break 3's....smfh.

 

[beast blazer]

Garbage
