Game Thread GAME# 13: HAWKS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 16, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

It's unbelievable how bad our defense is

With the Walnut coaching, sadly, it is very believable.

 

[illmatic99]

another drive to the rim off the dribble, unimpeded. Seriously

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Is it too much to ask for 2 solid offensive forwards?

Aminu and Harkless were more productive than DJJ and Covington.

we cannot win with these two as our starting forwards! RoCo is not impressing me. Start Melo and bring RoCo off the bench or cut our losses and trade him. He’s not all that. DJJ doesn’t score but his hustle impresses me - especially since he’s the only player that hustled!

 

[illmatic99]

Consistently getting underwhelmed by Covington.

 

[TBpup]

I've thought RoCo was quite the complimentary offensive and defensive player....until he got here.
Wonder what the difference is?

 

[calvin natt]

Covington useless since day one. I don’t get it. Perimeter defense is so horrific nothing else matters.

 

[DUB]

The Inside the NBA crew said it best on Thursday. Either the coach isn’t demanding and holding players accountable for not playing defense or the players are not putting in the effort. That’s it.

 

[bobf]

Don’t play Hood. Don’t play Ant. Play less Melo. Play Harry. Play Little. Jesus what do you have to lose.

 

[DUB]

These interview features running over game action is infuriating.

And the sponsor replays.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Just don’t play Anfernee

I can only take so much torture

 

[illmatic99]

HE JUMPED INTO ENES.

THAT IS NOT A FOUL.

God, if Dame go this kind bullshit whistle

 

[Darkwebs]

So far this season, RoCo has been as useful as a used condom. Hopefully he picks up his play very soon.

 

[Cugel]

Clint abdul jabar when he goes against stotts and co

 

[bobf]

Nice RoCo do not hesitate to shoot that EVER.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

He finally hits a three

 

[Hoopguru]

Jones and Cov need be more involved in the O.
At this Point Id start Trent over Jones.

 

[AldoTrapani]

We sure did pick the wrong Collins didn’t we @BonesJones ?

 

[illmatic99]

much more contact on that dame drive than the two young bullshit fouls

 

[Darkwebs]

Kanter has been a godsend

 

[DUB]

Good vision CJ! Terrible D by Atl.

 

[Titan]

Kanter having bbq chicken

 

[AldoTrapani]

Kanter is so good. This is why I didn’t care about Nurks injury

 

[illmatic99]

lmao, that is not basketball. that is not a foul

 

[calvin natt]

Jones and Cov need be more involved in the O.
At this Point Id start Trent over Jones.

No question.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Young getting crazy whistles.

 

[Natebishop3]

So Young is the new harden, only uglier.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

The starting forwards:

2 pts
5 rebs
23 min.

Combined.

That's what happens when your coach offers absolutely no effort to include them in the offense.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'm sorry but Kanter just flat out produces..you know if he starts he's gonna get you close to 2o-10

 

[TBpup]

Kanter has been a godsend

Almost a double-double in the first half. Good scoring and rebounding, but his defense, sadly fits right in with the rest of his teammates.

 

[illmatic99]

So Young is the new harden, only uglier.

theyve been giving this kid that shit since last year. wait til you see his speciality. He jumps backward into defenders and flings the ball up.
