Game Thread Game #13 - Blazers @ Rockets - NOVEMBER 12, 2021 - FRIDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[Idog1976]

Simons just looks automatic.

 

[Idog1976]

Dame set up Little perfectly on that monster dunk. Then followed that up with a great set-up to Nance for the last shot of the Q

Little has looked great this game...Simons not so much

You're fueling Simons and putting a chip on his shoulder! I missed the earlier part of the game so he looked great aside from that turnover which was the other play I saw LOL.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

CJ might have been playing well, but he's not shooting well.

He’s drawing doubles and it’s making things easier on everybody else.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Simons just looks automatic.

Even when he misses the shot looks good. I want him shooting for sure.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I had hoped that with Billups, we'd get a different offense. Seems that whatever changes were envisioned have been shelved.

The Blazers have to be one of the least entertaining teams to watch.

A lot of guys standing around waiting for someone to do something and maybe, possibly, pass them the ball.

I wouldn't be surprised if, as a team, the Blazers put fewer "miles" on their players per game than any other team as we don't run, we don't move, we don't do squat.

Boring.

Predictable.

Eminently defensible.

Definition of seasonal mediocrity - good enough to beat many teams; not good enough to contend.

I truly hope Olshey gets departed and we get someone in who will do more with the roster than keep the same core that is utterly adequate but which, for all intents and purposes, seems to have no ability to raise their game above adequate.

I agree there is not much movement at all. I think Billups spent most of training camp on defense and it appears that teams don't really practice anymore during the season, so not sure how he will improve the offense.

he's had 3 really stupid turnovers and he hasn't shot well. Been bad on defense too

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey finally went to Nurk and Nance

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Chauncey finally went to Nurk and Nance

And Little.

 

[B-Roy]

And Little.

Spacing not great but defensively been really good.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I guess Chauncey has decided to play Little with the starters.
Is Norm hurt?

 

[illmatic99]

We just gonna iso dame or CJ every possession?

What is this offense? Run something. This aint working

 

[illmatic99]

I guess Chauncey has decided to play Little with the starters.
Is Norm hurt?

Had a quad injury. Was questionable before game started

 

[OneSport3]

CJ is who he is. He just can’t help himself.

 

[illmatic99]

Chauncey finally went to Nurk and Nance

Looked miserable because dame and CJ decided to go one on five every possession. Cant believe how poorly we're using nance

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Had a quad injury. Was questionable before game started

That’s why I was asking. I wonder if he’s out again?

 

[James lamphear]

Since the 8:43 mark in this quarter CJ or Dame has shot except on shot by Nance and out that time they had mad one shot between them I getting dislike either player selfish play has to stop between these 2.

 

[Hoopguru]

Even when he misses the shot looks good. I want him shooting for sure.

He’s a shooting guard.

 

[BBert]

I know CJ made the basket with all that shake and bake stuff he does, but I was watching the other 4 players and they were just stationary watching CJ dribble. That's bad offense

I noticed 2 times in the first half where CJ ignored the wide open 3 point shooter to instead dance around with the ball and loft up a bad shot.

 

[Mr. Robot]

We just gonna iso dame or CJ every possession?

What is this offense? Run something. This aint working

so far chauncey billups has been all talk, no action (except for defense sometimes)

either he gave up on his ideas or players simply dont want do it, so he caved to them

after all he cant afford to piss off the players, he could easily lose his job

 

[BBert]

Since the 8:43 mark in this quarter CJ or Dame has shot except on shot by Nance and out that time they had mad one shot between them I getting dislike either player selfish play has to stop between these 2.

I want CJ to pass more and for Dame to pass up shots less.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

@SlyPokerDog got his McNuggets

FOR FREE!

 

[illmatic99]

Iso iso iso iso

 

[SlyPokerDog]

OMG! FREE McNUGGIES!

 

[illmatic99]

Looks so effective when we move around. Why we revert to so much iso is hard to understand

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Blazers get their first road win.
Glad to see it.
It’s always a good win when you win on the road.

 

[James lamphear]

I want CJ to pass more and for Dame to pass up shots less.

Dame been shooting just as bad.

 

[BBert]

Anfernee’s advanced stats have taken an absolute nosedive the past week or so.

Yeah he's in a major shooting slump.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

BLAZERS ARE NOW ROAD WARRIORS!

 

[HailBlazers]

Looks so effective when we move around. Why we revert to so much iso is hard to understand

Takes more effort

 

[BBert]

Dame been shooting just as bad.

Dame passes. Sometimes he shouldn't. You don't get out of a shooting slump being afraid to shoot.
