Game Thread Game #11 - BLAZERS @ LA CLIPPERS - NOVEMBER 9, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), TNT

[Tince]

This woulda been a blowout loss last yr. Our defense is keeping us in it.

We gave up more points and higher opponent percentages tonight than we averaged last year. Not sure the defense was praise worthy.

Maybe the scheme was good, but the lengthy Clipper can shoot or pass over the top of us at will.

 

[OneSport3]

I don’t even care who they trade CJ for at this point. It would be addition by subtraction IMO. At least it would let Norm move to SG and free up minutes for Ant.

 

[OneSport3]

Terrible play by this team the last 3 minutes of this game at both ends.

Who came back into the game at that point?

 

[James lamphear]

Well think Nance should get more minutes but he still has show more on offense. But Covington is to inconsistent to play that many minutes. Please don't get me going on CJ I have never like game and he don't fit in Billups system.

 

[HailBlazers]

PS their all black court is dumb and ugly.

 

[FlashWad]

we suck and have serious problems

Can we just waive him

1 ft for Dame.

It’s not the coach… it’s the players we have.

roco was absolute trash tonight on both ends. and his defense on jackson was laughable. what is he doing this year?

 

[James lamphear]

Well Covington not lock down defender he more help defender I think better head up defender then Covington.

 

[blazerfan11]

Lillard and McCollum were a combined 4-15 from three. That's one place I see why we lost.

 

[DDolla]

Dame can score less than 20 at home and we win. On the road we need him as the killer Dame to win.

 

[VenomXL]

I’m far from a CJ hater but I think every Blazer fan knows who he is at this point. If he’s got it going he’s a huge problem for the defense and if he doesn’t he’s a huge problem for his offense. The fact that all of us felt the game would go down hill when he checked in for the remaining minutes says a lot.

 

[James lamphear]

It’s not the coach… it’s the players we have.

Well if the coach knows the problem and don't correct the problem then it's part his problem.

The Blazers still can't get a win on the road, falling tonight to the Los Angeles Clippers. Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to talk about the road struggles.

 

[James lamphear]

Who came back into the game at that point?

The starters and CJ but it wasn't just CJ that play bad it was the whole unit. Powell miss wide 3 and 2 free throws and Dame miss some shots and Covington misse layin and CJ shot terrible runner. Then all sudden it effected the defense.

 

[illmatic99]

i think dame is about to get fined in the postgame

 

[Chris Craig]

i think dame is about to get fined in the postgame

For what

 

[illmatic99]

For what

predicting a complaint session about refs

 

[HailBlazers]

1 ft for Dame.

Did Dame get hit in the stomach or was he grimacing because of his abdominal?

 

[Cugel]

I see two games for the rest of the month that are locks for a win. The rest will be brutal. Good old Neil Oshley. He has screwed this team with his ineptitude. Money/picks wasted on junk. Nards, Crabbe, Turner, Swanigan, Collins, the list goes on. He is incompetent.

I think he got hit

Well think Nance should get more minutes but he still has show more on offense. But Covington is to inconsistent to play that many minutes. Please don't get me going on CJ I have never like game and he don't fit in Billups system.

I hope Nance is putting in a lot of work on the side on his shot making, both three point and at the basket.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This team is painfully mediocre.

Just a notch above doormat

 

[PDXFonz]

Trade CJ, Nurk, and draft stuff for KAT

Dame/Ant/Norm/Roco/KAT

Minny is boo-boo anyways. They aren’t making the playoffs. Why not try to change it up and not make the playoffs with CJ and Nurk?

That would be my text message to the wolves GM

 

[blazerkor]

Trade CJ, Nurk, and draft stuff for KAT

Dame/Ant/Norm/Roco/KAT

They wouldn't do that trade but if they did I wouldn't continue to start three small guards. I'd start Nas or Nance.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Charles Barkley is right. We need to do something different. We can’t be afraid to make a big trade.

 

[DDolla]

Honestly… how can you be happy if you get a McClemore, Zeller, Nance and Snell in the off season. That’s not improving your team. That’s not even a contender.
