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

[PHXBlazer1]

Garys feelin it

 

[DUB]

DJJ!

 

[Titan]

Now Trent shooting threes is great

 

[Darkwebs]

Boom shakalaka! Dame to DJJ for the alley oop dunk!

 

[Tince]

Having Jones shoot contested three is not good

Poor decision on his part for sure.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I liked that. More of that.

 

[illmatic99]

oh yaaa

 

[bobf]

Well if you cheat and combine Gary, RoCo and DJJ from three you’re probably ok there.

 

[Titan]

Now that is what I want to see Dame air mail to Jones

 

[DDolla]

Yessss.... GT finally woke up

 

[Scalma]

Bullying works

 

[illmatic99]

Sorry but Young is not even close to Dame as a lead guard. Dude can't finish for shit, and makes some seriously questionable decisions. Gets bailed out by the refs a ton and is producing numbers strictly as a result of his massive usage rate.

Just cause he can pull from 35 doesn't make him a top PG.

 

[James lamphear]

We actually playing together right now and you can have positive results by doing it.

 

[Duckhook]

First time DJjr hits double figures this season. No better time than now

 

[Chris Craig]

Boom Shakataco!

 

[LuckyShot]

DJJ airplane mode is fun to watch.

 

[JoshuaHall]

DJJ needs to hit the weight room a bit to hit the flex emoji

 

[bobf]

Nas is such a good teammate look at him on the bench

Some time around 30 games from now when Stotts plays him and Giles more we will start to get better.

 

[calvin natt]

but you don’t have a better player to play in place if RoCo. Any NBA player is better than Hood. He shouldn’t be playing.

Hood plays 13 mpg. He will get better. They’ve got much bigger issues than a guy who plays 13 min a game who isn’t good right now

 

[Titan]

I can tell Dame/DJJ have been working on the alley oop

 

[OneSport3]

So this is what your defense can be like when your SG isn’t a defensive sieve.

 

[TBpup]

GT doing a great CJ impression!

...except playing 3x the defense.

It is no coincidence the Blazers D was much better in the 2nd half with CJ in the locker room. Gary is not the scorer CJ is, but if he can hit some shots, his defense is so much better and infectious, that overall, it could be better.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The give a damn level is noticeably raised.

 

[Cugel]

Do what you have to do to keep GT. Make it so NO.

So much this!!

 

[Tince]

But I thought it was all scheme?!? We've still got 2-3 bad defenders out there, which is crazy.

But he is better defender.

 

[DUB]

And another block to Kanter!

I think it’s more that Atlanta is not good. I haven’t really noticed Trents defense being a factor. More just that Simons isn’t on the floor. CJs defense has been okay this year.

 

[B-Roy]

Difference maker is Kanters defense in the second half.
