I am ready to give little a chance over mario

 

[illmatic99]

11 games in.

Still haven't hear Calabro/Hurd this year.

NBA TV/ Sling never picks em up

 

[Cugel]

what was that pass from Mario?? A cross-court-under-the-basket-hook-bounce pass that of course resulted in a turnover.

 

[illmatic99]

First two defensive possessions for Hezonja:

1) Sags off of Bjelica for absolutely no reason and he gets an open 3.

2) Doesn't crash the boards and his man gets an easy put back.

bbiq severely lacking.

 

[hoopsjock]

Kings look lost without Fox. This should be an easy W (hopefully).

 

[beast blazer]

He mistook one of the cameramen for a teammate. It could happen to anyone

 

[blazerfan11]

I really like Bazemore in the starting unit. He won’t try to play point guard and will defer instead of taking an ill advised shot.
And his defense is always there even if his shot is off.

 

[illmatic99]

Mario has no idea where to go

 

[illmatic99]

I am ready to give little a chance over mario

Agreed, even if it's the Noah Vonleh honorary token starter minutes

 

[beast blazer]

Mario had size,athleticism, a good motor, but he has a negative 'it's factor.

 

[hoopsjock]

Hey, Bazemore doesn't have a stupid foul yet and we aren't close to putting the other team in the bonus halfway through a quarter!

It's the little things!

 

[hoopsjock]

Great pass CJ! Simons missed it but that is a perfect example of how he could use his skills to get guys wide open.

followed by excellent defensive stop in fast break.

 

[VenomXL]

These turnovers...

 

[illmatic99]

No movement or chemistry. Combine that with awful spacing and you get this.

Mario looks so confused. Dame can't force those passes.

 

[beast blazer]

We are just playing so many guys that shouldn't be sniffing an NBA court

 

[DDolla]

What’s wrong with Dame, he could score 50 straight points if he wants too then rest the full 2nd half... smh

 

[JDC]

 

[Cugel]

ugly turnovers. 7 is not acceptable in the first quarter

 

[DDolla]

We are just playing so many guys that shouldn't be sniffing an NBA court

In other words, we have a lot of scrubs in our team.

 

[illmatic99]

Great pass CJ! Simons missed it but that is a perfect example of how he could use his skills to get guys wide open.

After that previous play when he drove one on three, that honestly surprised me

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

ugly turnovers. 7 is not acceptable in the first quarter

Or any quarter

 

[hoopsjock]

Up 10 why would we not give Dame and CJ a couple of extra minutes to rest in the first half by just taking them out when Simons came in. The small lineup isn't great against their current lineup anyway.

 

[blazerfan11]

What is it that prevents Trail Blazers from just passing to the open guy when the other team is increasing the pressure on defense? It’s like they can’t anticipate anything.

 

[Blazers1977]

We are just playing so many guys that shouldn't be sniffing an NBA court

like who?

We have a new roster. It takes time to gel in the NBA.

 

[H.C.]

Was one of the worst decisions CJ has ever made driving into two tree's hoping for a whistle.
But then he does it again finds Ant wide open for a three and he just misses.
Then the defensive play of contesting DD on the layup was excellent. Forced a miss.

 

[illmatic99]

Ant had Trent wide open

 

[hoopsjock]

I know most of you are going to think I'm just hating on Stotts again but I'm seriously pissed at what he's doing to Dame right now. He doesn't HAVE to play the whole 1st quarter every single game.

 

[illmatic99]

This is the GS game all over again

 

[VenomXL]

If they can get the turnovers under control they should win this going away.
