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

[Sheldon Shape]

We have so much more talent than them. Tonight is the perfect example of coaches getting more and less from their rosters.

 

[Tince]

Say what you want but kanter is better than nurkic overall.

Strongly disagree. I'm guessing every NBA GM would disagree as well.

 

[bobf]

Say what you want but kanter is better than nurkic overall.

Only if you close your eyes when the opponents have the ball.

 

[twobullz]

Siakam is their starting C. Giles starting in place of Nurkic makes too much sense for Stotts to actually do it. But some will say "Give him props!" if he does the obvious. Sigh.[/QUOT

What position does Alex Len play. I thought he was their Starting Center

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Trent is getting so screwed by this coach this season.

 

[bobf]

I'm not on the Giles is a future all-star bandwagon, but I would like to see him on the floor against Boucher.

Start Kanter, have Giles come in when Boucher comes in.

Probably not but if he is we will never find out.

 

[BonesJones]

 

[James lamphear]

Bench 23 and up by 2 in rebounds and 11 assist. They have cool off a little bit. Need come out in the 3rd very focused.

 

[DDolla]

Damn... Blazers and College Football both blow outs.

 

[Serbian]

Kanter was + 6. His offensive rebounds and pts maje uo for his defense. Nurk has been trash on defense also but cant get off rebounds

 

[Chris Craig]

Say what you want but kanter is better than nurkic overall.

To start this season yes

I understand being out of shape and all, but damn

 

[BonesJones]

I'm not on the Giles is a future all-star bandwagon, but I would like to see him on the floor against Boucher.

Start Kanter, have Giles come in when Boucher comes in.

Siakam is an even worse match up for Kanter, no?

 

[BonesJones]

Nurkic was really good defensively the past couple games. He's inconsistent right now. Kanter is consistently horrible on defense.

 

[illmatic99]

2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 blk, 1 steal. Tell the whole story.

he's actually not been as bad as usual today. had some blunders on defense, but this coulda been minimized if he played 8 mins or so per half. 16 is too much, we all know this. but the vitriol here for the guy is insane.

dame was trash in the first quarter leading to our deficit early.

 

[Tince]

Siakam is an even worse match up for Kanter, no?

Very true... Thought Len starting this half again, my bad!

 

[bobf]

Why don’t I feel confident about this game still

 

[Tince]

BBQ Chicken for Kanter on the block against this lineup.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers 1st lead

 

[calvin natt]

Trigger warning: The flailing arms and drawing fouls is annoying. When Harden does it and when Lillard does it.

 

[Titan]

6 straight points to start the third, then give up a 3

 

[illmatic99]

roco absolutely HAS to hit that three

 

[Titan]

6 straight points to start the third, then give up a 3

And another 3

 

[bobf]

Bad offense leading to bad defense.

 

[B-Roy]

What the fuck is Dame doing?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fucking Dame

 

[calvin natt]

Lillard flails arms again no foul complains jogs back and Siakham gets layup/fouled.

 

[AldoTrapani]

What the fuck is Dame doing?

Nobody mentions his fucking turnovers

 

[Tince]

roco absolutely HAS to hit that three

Another night he's not shooting at near a high enough percentage given the looks he's getting. The 3's he's getting are 40+% looks.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lillard flails arms again no foul complains jogs back and Siakham gets layup/fouled.

His body language is terrible this year

 

[illmatic99]

dame playing like this in the first is why we were down 17 in the first place
