Game Thread GAME# 13: BLAZERS @ SPURS - NOVEMBER 16, 2019 - SATURDAY, 5:30 PM, NBCSNW

CJ is elite right now.

 

[illmatic99]

This zone is so porous

 

[hoopsjock]

You get a lot more assists when no one can miss lol.

It's not even about the result though. The flow of the offense is great right now. Everyone is involved and no one stands around when they aren't doing all iso.

 

[calvin natt]

I don’t care what anyone says a Skal 3 off one pass with 21 on the shot clock is a bad shot

 

[illmatic99]

Ant has to fight through that pick and go over it

 

[BonesJones]

Here comes the Spurs run?

 

[Labinot41]

It's coming

 

[Road Ratt]

CJ is red hot and rollin'

 

[oldmangrouch]

What is this sorcery?

You mean you're allowed to play inside out through the bigs?

You mean you can get open shots when you make the extra pass?

Heretic! Blasphemer! Burn the Witch!

Not totally sure I agree honestly. The result matters a lot. Guys start seeing other guys hit shots, they pass more, you encourage movement, guys play differently. You start getting the defense to play differently I think it was predicated on guys making some shots. It'll be interesting if they continue to play like this or not.

 

[BonesJones]

Our defense is way too soft right now.

 

[illmatic99]

Handchecking is allowed now?

 

[BonesJones]

Yup. Choking the lead like always.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

For instance, I give you that last possession where they did nothing but dribble on the perimeter...

 

[KingSpeed]

Doesn't matter how hot our start is, we need to play defense! Please help, Melo!

 

[DDolla]

Bye bye big lead lol. Told you, same old movie.

 

[illmatic99]

good timeout.

 

[hoopsjock]

See when CJ is passing early in the games it makes the defense a step slower to react when he does pull up in the mid range and he gets more space.

 

[B-Roy]

Skal is getting worked.

So obvious....but Stotts seems to forget it on a regular basis.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our defense is way too soft right now.

Melo coming soon.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Melo coming soon.

Yeah, he's definitely known as a defender.

 

[James lamphear]

Really why can't Stotts call a timely timeout in a game. He always wait around this time call timeout never sooner when he should.

 

[BonesJones]

That was fun though...

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ 15 points 5 assists 1 turnover

 

[BonesJones]

Melo coming soon.

How will that help our defense?

 

[Chris Craig]

16-4 Spurs run to start the 2nd

Fun

If CJ gets a pick and roll from Tolliver and gets double teamed leaving Tolliver (assuming he finds his stroke but it's just an example) wide open for 3 over the course of the season the right play is almost always to kick it out to the open man. Even if CJ makes a tough shot that isn't the right decision in a flow offense.

 

[BonesJones]

Get Skal out fuck... put Whiteside back in before the lead is completely gone...

 

[B-Roy]

Baze sucks.
