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

[illmatic99]

Kanter and Jones played great defense in the second half

 

[Sheldon Shape]

No one on the court except Dame can make basic passes/decisions, and I don’t even think I’m joking.

I definitely disagree. I don't blame you. You wouldn't know because the coach doesn't know how to draw up on offensive set unless it's give Damian the ball and go.

 

[Tince]

First v second half. Also, the season. Sample size, dude.

Which half did he take a majority of his shots outside the key? Appears to be neither. You can't just make stuff up to fit your narrative, look at his shot chart.

Kanter and Jones played great defense in the second half

BUT STOTTS DOESN'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS!!11

 

[riverman]

Grind out win with no help from the refs most of the night! Hell yeah!

I didn't say anything about shots outside the key. You're literally making up my argument. Lol

Gary, Jones and Kanter don’t touch the ball unless they’re finishing....for a reason.

 

[Darkwebs]

You can't spell D without Damian!

 

[Tince]

Stotts holds Atlanta to 40 points in the 2nd half without 2 of his 3 best players. Give him the game ball

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Solid win

Well said. Why would we want our bad ball handlers dribbling around?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Wow, now a Gary Trent wide open 3 is a bad shot? The numbers would not side with your conclusion.

I had no problem with that, but I did with everything else.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blouses

Gary is a bad ball handler? We disagree.

 

[Scalma]

Good win but we can’t have dame playing 40+ minutes every night. We might need a point guard more than another big and we need another big.

 

[Tince]

BUT STOTTS DOESN'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS!!11

Kanter isn't good enough to play for Donovan or Stevens, but Stotts makes him look good at times... that's amazing coaching!

 

[DDolla]

Great Win, Super Dame, Kanter playing D but team still a mess.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Out rebounded them by 7 and 6 less turnovers.

 

[riverman]

wow...last 4 minutes all our pts from Dame's free throws...that's managing the clock

 

[Darkwebs]

LOL. Kanter in the post-game interview is shocked to hear that he had 5 blocks tonight. As were we all.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Melo’s play in the final 10 minutes was instrumental. He needs to start over RoCo so we don’t fall so far behind every game.

Go Blazers

 

[TBpup]

Hawks score over 50% more points in the 1st half. Defense means a lot!

 

[illmatic99]

Good win but we can’t have dame playing 40+ minutes every night. We might need a point guard more than another big and we need another big.

hopefully CJ isn't out too long. but ya, that blevins signing, sheesh

 

[Tince]

Gary is a bad ball handler? We disagree.

Yes. Wouldn't be our first disagreement

At least we won!

 

[BlazerRx]

Haha kanter himself cant believe he got 5 blocks.

 

[DUB]

Kanter amazed that he has 5 blocks.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Gary, Jones and Kanter don’t touch the ball unless they’re finishing....for a reason.

Yaaaaayyyy! Let's pigeonhole our young stud Gary Trent before he's even had a chance. He'll go off and have an expanded role on another team. If CJ is out for a few games, we'll wanna see what Trent can do.

 

[Duckhook]

I forgot what great energy and modesty Kanter brings to this team. I loved his post game interview.

Stay healthy Enes!!! So happy you’re back in the Red and Black!

 

[Scalma]

hopefully CJ isn't out too long. but ya, that blevins signing, sheesh

it’s ok, they’ll have another two way spot open up soon and they still have a regular spot as well. No excuses.

 

[Tince]

Out rebounded them by 7 and 6 less turnovers.

I believe Atlanta was 1 or 2 in the league in rebounding as well.
