Game Thread GAME# 12: NETS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

[UKRAINEFAN]

LOL the Nets announcer just asked on air why the Blazers keep switching their bigs onto smaller, quicker guards?!?! Because the Blazers coach is a dimwit fine sir.

terrible defense coaching.

I mean, it's like the players don't have any freedom to react. When I see Russel, a guy who is not a great passer, isolated on Davis with under ten seconds; if I'm not guarding a great three point shooter, I am going to run over there and double him. And I am not even a basketball player.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Pathetic isnt even the word for it. It was worse than pathetic.

Apoplectic?

 

[Nate]

I'm glad you’re all starting to see the light!!!!

 

[DreamKillah]

This is a watershed moment no doubt

That isn't water, it's urine! We got pissed on by deangelo frickin' russell . . .

 

[Chris Craig]

Ah-ha! I got it! Now I know why Nurk got benched, he was the one who stopped the 17-0 run!

Yeah him and Baz

 

[Jade Falcon]

It seems like the same old shit going down late in the game it looks some of these players are throwing the games at the end. Maybe the players are tired playing for Stotts.

This feels like a mutiny in itself. Either Stotts knows he's getting canned and is playing a "fuck you" type of game. Or the players know what they have in him, and want him to get fired.

This is NOT a team that is on the same page. At all.

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah him and Baz

Damnit, good point.

 

[DUB]

I guess their jacking threes did pay off, maybe we would've won if we did the same? We don't win this season when our assists are this low. We led, or broke even in pretty much every statistical category at half time. By the of the game we were behind, or broke even. Either something really funky went on in the locker room at halftime, or they players thought this one was in the bag, and took their foot off the pedal. I wish we would learn from this, always play with intensity, and never back off; but past experience tells me that this group of players will never learn that particular lesson.

 

[julius]

I think he's the Bob Ross of the NBA. I bet he draws trees on the dry erase board, and goes "Okay guys, now go out and make some happy little threes".

Bob Ross was bad ass. Stotts is just a crappy coach.

 

[ripcityboy]

This team is being 127 million dollars. I mean, the New York Jets get more bang for their buck.

 

[Cippy91]

Terry has that look going. The fear is in his eyes

 

[santeesioux]

Stott's looks like a dude that know's he's getting fired on the post game interview.

 

[Nate]

Watching Stotts in the postgame interview is hilarious. Stotts and Meyers are enough to fire olshey in my book.

 

[Strenuus]

I can not wait to see the quote book for this game @SlyPokerDog

He better not say any canned shit.

 

[Trackjack]

Stotts is so predictable he calls his timeouts the same time every game it doesn't matter how the game going. He sub at the same time every game. He doesn't matter who hot at the time of the sub. When it his time to come out he comes out. This is the 2nd game in roll that Nurk wasn't in for offense at the end of the game.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

@jwquick: Stotts said Nurkic played less than a minute in 4th because Brooklyn went small and he liked Ed Davis’ athleticism.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The Blazers are a joke.

 

[Labinot41]

Omfg i wake up in the middle of the fucking night to see that? We play so ugly. Damn

 

[Strenuus]

@jwquick: Stotts said Nurkic played less than a minute in 4th because Brooklyn went small and he liked Ed Davis’ athleticism.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Wait... Wait. Hold on. *takes a drink of water. Sets the cup down. Wipes down a water ring on the other side of the table, clears his throat*

HAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We got this.

 

[noknobs]

@jwquick: Stotts said Nurkic played less than a minute in 4th because Brooklyn went small and he liked Ed Davis’ athleticism.

So he wasn't hurt?!

And the way Nurk was playing... Fuck you Stotts. We have three days, perfect time to fire the coach.

 

[Strenuus]

We got this.

 

[Labinot41]

I didn't understand why Nurkic played only 25 minutes on a game he was good. Stotts is so stupid

 

[Nikolokolus]

@jwquick: Stotts said Nurkic played less than a minute in 4th because Brooklyn went small and he liked Ed Davis’ athleticism.

Which is great, except for having to play 4 on 5 when the Blazers were on offense.

EDIT: and asking him to switch and cover Russell was a disaster. So lose-lose after all.

 

[Strenuus]

So he wasn't hurt?!

And the way Nurk was playing... Fuck you Stotts. We have three days, perfect time to fire the coach.

Literally took out our two most contributing players.... the dumbest game I've ever seen.

 

[julius]

The roster isn't as bad as their record is. It's not perfect, by any stretch, but it's so obviously a team not buying what the coach is selling.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

@jwquick: Don’t expect comments from Jusuf Nurkic tonight. He left as reporters entered locker room.


Sounds like Nurkic is pissed and rightfully so.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

After playing less than a minute in the 4th quarter, Jusuf Nurkic left the Blazers' locker room before reporters arrived.

 

[ehizzy3]

why is iheartradio playing national radio and not the postgame/fifth quarter

 

[Strenuus]

They left with Nurk.
