Game Thread GAME# 12: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 13, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

CJ and Dame can never both be on. It's against the laws of physics

Portland can win games when CJ's missing shots. They have a hard time winning when Dame is missing shots

Toronto tried to smother Dame with length tonight...the beat-Portland playoff template. It still works after 4 years. Olshey & Stotts have found no answers, but like I said, they've only had 4 years. Maybe by 2022 they'll have an answer

 

[Strenuus]

you must be looking very deep to have such great hindsight

Hindsight? It was right in front of our faces. We all saw it.

Just admit youre wrong and we will move on. I already know what i said is true. Its okay.

 

[kjironman1]

Over react much?

 

[B-Roy]

You got to admit not putting Little back in was a head scratcher.

Yes, this is the whole point.

 

[riverman]

I'm flagging this post ...get a life...it's a game of guys in shorts with a rubber ball...freak out all you want

 

[Darkwebs]

Is that related to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? Maybe we need to trade for Schrödinger’s cat? Might fix our defense.

Nah, that guy is annoying.

I went back to the play by play and counted the plays.

Nassir little came out at 2:46 in the third. It was 74-75 at that point. Siakam at that point was 6/18 for 14 points.

SINCE NAS CAME OUT: SIAKAM WENT 9/10 (Did not miss a shot until close to a min left in the 4th when the game was already over). HE ENDED THE GAME 15/28 for 36 POINTS.

MY BLOOD IS ACTUALLY BOILING RIGHT NOW. I literally cannot breathe. I cannot believe we just extended this fraud of a coach and his buddy CJ. This may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Thanks....that is what I was wondering. Nice coaching there Terry.

we’re 4 games under .500

calm down

Yep....on pace for 27 wins with road games against the Spurs and the Rockets coming up. That should go well. May only be 4 games under .500 now anyone who things this is good coaching on offense or defense with good chemistry, ball movement and hustle is watching a different game than I am.

That was Spazonja making him prove he could hit a 3. 3” shot that is.

 

[Scalma]

I'd like to see what Siakam shot against vs Little compared to everyone else.

little won that battle.

To be fair. They were starting to find that answer, then he broke his leg.

We should have a punctuation and spelling test to join this forum

I just posted it.

 

[rotary111]

Little should be the starter from now on. That kid has a future!

Damnit riverman i already deleted it. Whyyyyyy

 

[julius]

You might be the only one watching that show that knows what you’re talking about

There was a commercial for it during the..I want to say...basketball game? That doesn't sound right.

 

[HailBlazers]

Huh? What's your point what's your point with that? I don't comprehend your level of snark, so please translate.

We got killed inside interior defense or lack thereof.

 

[AldoTrapani]

We made the Western Conference Finals a few months ago

and didn’t win a single game

 

[wizenheimer]

Nurkic was there and healthy when the Pelicans did the same thing. A C isn't going to be the answer, IMO

 

[riverman]

Damnit riverman i already deleted it. Whyyyyyy

you were quick...it was gone while I spent all that time trying to flag it! (I meant fast, not Jason Quick)

 

[The Professional Fan]

No, but the team is

Right. And they’ve played what, 12 games? No growing pains allowed? In conjunction with injuries? I don’t know man, I think we need to give this whole thing a longer leash for sure. I feel very emotional about the losses but god damn have we not learned this team and culture will very likely right the ship? I think they’ve earned it

 

[B-Roy]

The same Nurkic was not there. Everyone saw that Nurk was a completely different player in 18-19 than he was in 17-18. Some people were questioning whether it was worth extending him after that 17-18 campaign.

In my view, it was really Nurkic becoming a playmaker that opened up the Blazers offense in 18-19.

No shit?

What players have shown they are gonna get better with chemistry? Cause I only see maybe 2. Simons and Little.

The rest are awful.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Another soft cookie like riverman , both of you should get together and BBQ celebrate and pray to your saint Scotts and say “ oh everything is great go blazers “

Bottom line is scotts is still the coach since 2012 because of fans like you

Stotts

 

[Blazers1977]

CJ looked good tonight.

Hood looked good tonight.

Herzonja looked good tonight.

Whiteside was playing with more energy.

we’re 4 games under 500 without 2 borderline all-stars (Nurk and Zach).

Not the end of the world. No need to boo. No need to fire Stotts. Take a chill pill.

 

[kjironman1]

Fucking Stotts praising Little. Thought he brought a lot of energy and played well.

I’m waiting for someone to ask him why on earth he didn’t play him in the 4th quarter?

This is as mad as I've seen you at Stotts.

He's pushing it this season for sure.

because he’s a rookie with like 2 games of total NBA experience and Stotts didn’t think he could play in the crunch time of the 4th quarter agains the defending NBA champs

you guys make controversies over standard coaching moves
