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

[James lamphear]

There not a person out there wants to play defense. Giles got a whole 4 minutes I really believe Stotts is real clueless.

 

[DDolla]

Honestly why can’t we rebuild ? What is the point of all this

I would trade Dame so he can win a ring then rebuild.

 

[illmatic99]

Like Terry, you knew they were gonna attack us in the P&R and exploit our lack of interior defense. This was the most predictable outcome, yet Terry didn't do shit to change our defense.

Play zone, start switching, do fucking something.

God, I can't stand this guy

 

[DUB]

Because of the last game, I've put the game on a short leash tonight. If they get down by double digits, I'm watching anything else.

It’s day three of the series deciding fourth Test Cricket match of the Border-Gavaskar trophy between Australia and India. It’s the drinks break of the second session of play, and the match is hanging in the balance, with India 6/218 and 154 runs behind.

You did say anything else.

 

[illmatic99]

This just isn’t a good team. And most of it is scheme. I’m sorry. We have talents players.

Portland. Where defense comes to die.

We get good defenders and turn them into turnstiles.

"They're just making shots"

 

[James lamphear]

Honestly why can’t we rebuild ? What is the point of all this

Because we don't have GM would screw that up too.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I would trade Dame so he can win a ring then rebuild.

Yea man you feel me? What the hell is the point of this ? This team just a .500 level team at best. Weak ass shit let’s rebuild and do it right

 

[illmatic99]

lmao straight line drives to rim.

 

[Cugel]

Only dame can fix this and demand that terry get his walking papers.

 

[bobf]

Melo can’t rebound so he fouls. Hurd they are not “going at it” Melo is getting owned.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ya ready for like the 4th straight game being down 20 lmao

 

[bobf]

Thank you refs but that was a total bail out.

 

[Tince]

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

Aminu and Harkless were more productive than DJJ and Covington.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

It's unbelievable how bad our defense is

 

[illmatic99]

How about trying to draw fouls on Capela? Try to get him out of the game?

Is that too much creativity for our dumbass coach?

 

[bobf]

Dame takes his turn at forcing up a low IQ shot. It’s contagious!!! LOBIQ21

 

[Titan]

Took us 6 mins to score 5 points

 

[Darkwebs]

It's tough to win games when you only play one side of the ball.

 

[OneSport3]

Until Olshey and Stotts are gone, there is no hope for this franchise.

 

[James lamphear]

This is bad basketball that this team play.

 

[illmatic99]

It's unbelievable how bad our defense is

pretty sure my intramural team in college could score on this. swiss cheese with no rim protection.

 

[Scalma]

Are we down 20 yet?

We’re not losing because we’re missing Nurk, Collins, whoever. We’re losing because our coach sucks at coaching. Why was Melo out there so long.. again?!?

 

[Tince]

Took us 6 mins to score 5 points

Covington, DJJ, Trent, and Hood are 2-16. Lots of clean looks. This is becoming a trend. They should be near 50% with the looks they're getting.

 

[Duckhook]

I don’t know why you all say we don’t have any D... we have plenty every game!!!

Double Digit Deficit

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The starting forwards:

2 pts
5 rebs
23 min.

Combined.

 

[TBpup]

Melo -14 (11 minutes)
Trent -17 (8 minutes)
Hood -14 (7 minutes)
CJ -10....and getting blown by at will.

The one time Giles gets the ball at the high post, instant assist. Of course, that only happened by accident off a loose ball and certainly not by design. Stotts is beyond clueless. The guy has elite passing skills but the Walnut refuses to put him in a place to use them.

 

[OneSport3]

It's unbelievable how bad our defense is

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.

 

[BlazerBeav]

These interview features running over game action is infuriating.

 

[Tince]

The starting forwards:

2 pts
5 rebs
23 min.

Combined.

3 out of 4 nights they shoot like this.
