Game Thread GAME# 10: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 11, 2021 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Duckhook]

Dare I say, but good teams find a way to win. I’m singing a different tune since the “letting the cake bake” factor seems to be true. Great win... great defense down the stretch!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Also Melo was mostly bad but god damn if he isn’t a clutch motherfucker.

 

[DDolla]

CJ is our best player this season

 

[RoseCityRebel]

lmao. can't believe terry didn't bring in our best perimeter defender on that play.

got away with one

Huh? Covington was in the game.

 

[Tince]

It's ok to say that you think Melo is an overall negative to this team and admit he was a big part in us winning tonight.

Don't let your hatred stop you from tipping your cap!

 

[Cugel]

Melo tends to really shine under pressure and I don't know how cj makes those daggers. He IS all star level.

 

[TBpup]

Yay!!! We beat a horribly undermanned team on their 2nd of a back-to-back, on a missed 3'er at the buzzer. Yay us!!

 

[B-Roy]

Dame had 8 turnovers tonight. Is that a career high?

 

[illmatic99]

this has to be a confidence destroyer for pascal. poor guy just had consecutive nights with the ball rimming out on game winning shots.

he needs to get a counter move though. All he does is spin around

 

[bobf]

You were correct.

Stott’s rotations work according to tenure, seniority, reputation, and loyalty.

 

[LuckyShot]

It was a good win because of how we came back all game. They stuck with it and it payed off.

One thing this team has done consistently under Stotts is to never give up. I do think some of that is due to Dame and his leadership, but I think Stotts deserves the credit too.

 

[DDolla]

If Melo is ON, it’s hard to stop him. Siakam missed last night and tonight game winning shot.

 

[illmatic99]

Yay!!! We beat a horribly undermanned team on their 2nd of a back-to-back, on a missed 3'er at the buzzer. Yay us!!

undermanned? who were they missing?

these games happen over the course of a season. lakers needed a game winner to beat memphis. Phoenix got trounced by 30 by Washington missing half its team

 

[KingSpeed]

Melo won it on both sides of the floor. CJ too. RoCo- thanks for that D.

 

[calvin natt]

Carmelo was great. CJ too, again. You’d think Carmelo was responsible for every loss, but he has had some great games.

 

[BlazerRx]

Terrible first quarter but we fought hard the next 3 quarters. Cant believe we pulled that out. Very big shots by Melo down the stretch....say what you will but the guy is still pretty clutch in the big moments. Great gutsy win!

 

[KingSpeed]

If Melo is ON, it’s hard to stop him. Siakam missed last night and tonight game winning shot.

Legacy!!!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Melo can be a decent player when he shoots like tonight and makes a few passes like he did tonight. I think he is physically able of playing decent defense also but makes mental mistakes, trying to do too much or rotating wrong or making bad choices.
BTW, watching Giles more closely on D tonight, he seems to have slow processing speed.

 

[James lamphear]

Yes 2- 7 always find away to loose too.

 

[twobullz]

Melo ended up a +2 tonight. Man some guys come in here and do nothing but shit on Melo and Terry. Then disappear when the Blazers win.

 

[riverman]

It's going to be a good season!

 

[Tince]

Yay!!! We beat a horribly undermanned team on their 2nd of a back-to-back, on a missed 3'er at the buzzer. Yay us!!

Yay!!!

You found a way to be unahppy with a win!

 

[B-Roy]

Also Melo was mostly bad but god damn if he isn’t a clutch motherfucker.

He can only play defense under 5 minutes left in the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

All NBA

 

[Propagandist]

Whoa there, negative nancy.

 

[KingSpeed]

Not true.

 

[Chris Craig]

undermanned? who were they missing?

Baynes

Undermanned compared to us. We easily have way more talent. Wish we didn't struggle against teams like that. Will take the win, but it certainly wasn't a good game.

 

[Tince]

Carmelo was great. CJ too, again. You’d think Carmelo was responsible for every loss, but he has had some great games.

Roco, DJJ, and Trent were far from fantastic tonight, but are nearly immune from criticism.

he needs to get a counter move though. All he does is spin around

If he needs consolation we’ll take him.
