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

[DUB]

This is the first game of the season that annoyed me.

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts has one of those stupid chalk talk things at the end of the month.

If hes somehow still the coach (hopefully he's not), people should rail on him for this game.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Kudos to Nurkic for realizing he was probably going to say something he'd get dinged for, and just took himself out of it. Fuck, I'd be hot if I were him.

 

[Jade Falcon]

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

Wow. I'm sure that makes Nurk feel SO great. I'm sure knowing his coach has zero confidence in his athletic ability against a sub-par team is a huge boost to his moral.

Fire this clown. Now. Do something good for once in your miserable life, Olshey.

If that was the case he should have had Vonleh playing center not Davis. Stotts I am question you on weather if you know your personal.

 

[Nikolokolus]

On a totally unrelated note, this just dropped today, so now everyone can watch something and be happy.

Think of this as your nightcap.

 

[Trackjack]

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

I don't blame him I would be piss too.

 

[theprunetang]

Fucking garbage. I've been a big Stotts backer, but this is some bullshit.

 

[BigGameDamian]

yup this team wont be much this year. same ol story different year

 

[GrandJury]

This is the first game of the season that annoyed me.

It’s going to be more too

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sounds like the Talkin'Ball guys are ready to let Stotts go also!

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts got outcoached by a guy who probably sold me a used car 10 years ago.

 

[santeesioux]

On the plus side, if they keep playing like this we'll finally get a decent sf in Michael Porter or Luka Doncic next season!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nice he pissed off Nurk now...heads gotta roll!

 

[Jade Falcon]

I know ya'all hate Trump, but....

Can we at least agree on that when it comes to Stotts?

 

[GrandJury]

A lottery pick would be nice this year

 

[Nikolokolus]

Maybe just change the name of the show to 'Talkin Balls?'

 

[Jade Falcon]

A lottery pick would be nice this year

Why? So that Olshey can pass on the next Michael Jordan in favor of the next Lonzo Ball? (that's a figure of speech)

No thanks.

 

[AFully22]

We held a Nets team that averaged 112 ppg to 100 but we couldn’t score, so Stotts reaction is to take out our best scorer of the night for defensive reasons. I’m still shocked by the stupidity. Just awful.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Watching CJ get interviewed you could tell he was pissed they took Nurk out, but didn't wanna call out the coach. "I just play"

 

[BlayZa]

didnt see the game but ive noticed noah hasnt been doing fuck all on the stat sheet. i understand nurk plays better with him out there, but are we really sacrificing PF to have a C? or is this the same bs stotts did before where he gets the start, then gets pulled?

Same old Stotts.

It's difficult to do "fuck all" when you only play 16 minutes. 5 boards and 1-2 shooting isn't great, but he wasn't the issue tonight ... at all.

Vonleh is fine. It's stotts not understanding basic basketball.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Yeah...Noah was NOT the problem tonight. Not even close. If anything, he should be praised for playing with confidence since he's returned. I do like what he brings to the court, and if that means that all he does is make Nurk's life easier, then so be it.

 

[Gronk Brady]

I just can’t get over this... Nurkic has 21 points in 25 min and Stotts doesn’t play him in the 4th because he wants to match up with them instead of making them matchup with us... this is the freaking Nets not the Warriors... why would you let them dictate the game... Stotts needs to be fired tomorrow... Easyest part of season and we are 6-6 losing home games to bottom feeders like Nets

 

[julius]

I think he (Stotts) might be losing the team, or at least the important players.

 

[Trackjack]

That's the problem we are loosing at home. When we should be winning at home against these teams..

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I think he (Stotts) might be losing the team, or at least the important players.

Yep

 

[WillG]

Finally! Other people are seeing it.
This uninspired, predictable & terrible schemes has been going on for a long time now.
It would have been a lot more evident, if not for the sheer skill of Dame and CJ.

It's terrible to watch. Just not good basketball. Also excruciatingly frustrating; a MF'ing uphill battle every game, even against cellar dwellers.
