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

I don't know who else we could get as a coach

 

[santeesioux]

If they're still playing like this by New Year's I'd give Vanterpool the keys for the rest of the season.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk may lead a mutiny against Stotts. I will join that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Last 11 minutes, If I'm looking at this right.

Yep

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk may lead a mutiny against Stotts. I will join that.

I hope so

He can have them now

 

[Jade Falcon]

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.

It's worse than that, I'm afraid. Calabro openly questioned why Stotts took a timeout with 1 second left.

Fucking pathetic. Bye Stotts.

If he's not fired within this next week, we need to meet at the Rose Garden with torches and pitch forks.

 

[Strenuus]

Yep

Thank god your birthday wasn't tonight, amirite?

 

[Chris Craig]

that was pathetic

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

 

[The Professional Fan]

What was the point in signing him? We needed shooting so bad and what do we do? Get a guy who can't shoot and give him 17 mil a year

I love his awareness and midrange but it doesn’t align with Stotts so I really don’t know. I just don’t want him spotting up for 3 ever fucking again

 

[Scalma]

Nurkic was our leading scorer tonight, had only 1 foul, and zero turnovers... and Stotts leaves him on bench for last 6+ mins of game... inexcusable

What's hilarious is putting Davis in instead, who got torched.

 

[BrunoSOC]

This loss kills me

He left Davis, who can't shoot past 3 feet, in on A SMALL BALL LINEUP, over Nurk, who could have done anything against that lineup, even if they went to Mozgov.

 

[Nikolokolus]

This loss kills me

You must be new to this?

 

[DUB]

[Strenuus]

GET A NEW COACH THAT WILL ALSO PLAY BAZZ LIKE HE SHOULD. Fucker kept us in the game TWICE and stotts benched him.

Jesus, Stotts is fucking stupid.

/jadefalcon (but these are still true thoughts)

 

[The Professional Fan]

This is a watershed moment no doubt

 

[santeesioux]

Just no tiki torches.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Fire Stotts, make Napier the 6th man, play the rookies, draft well.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[noknobs]

Hard to believe Stotts is getting paid millions of dollars this year.

I have no idea what they do in practice. And I have no idea what he writes on that dry erase board during timeouts.

No idea who else we can get to coach but it doesn't matter - addition by subtraction. Get rid of him.

No you didn’t

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".

 

[PHXBlazer1]

And stop going on 5 minute stretches without scoring..no fucking excuses for that. AGAIN

 

[AFully22]

It makes me so god damn angry just knowing that Stotts is going to respond with some snide know it all remark when he’s asked why Nurk played 1 minute the entire 4th q when he was out best player most of the night.

We’re getting close

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Shit teams going on 17-0 runs on our home court?? GTFO Stotts

 

[DreamKillah]

Blecch! I pity the fool who bought my tickets tonite . . . I regret watching it on TV . . .

 

[Strenuus]

And stop going on 5 minute stretches without scoring..no fucking excuses for that. AGAIN

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

 

[TBpup]

I've been saying this for a couple of years now. It's about philosophy. They don't play defense, they don't run, they don't get easy baskets and they run no plays for anyone but Dame/CJ. Tough for other players to develop or get a rhythm....all they get is bail out passes when Dame/CJ are double-teamed. It is designed for everyone else to set screens and then get out of the way except for an occasional roll by Nurkic....when he is in the game.
