Game Thread GAME# 14: SPURS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 18, 2021 - MONDAY, 12:00, NBCSNW

[calvin natt]

Jacob Poeltl is why they are winning

 

[AldoTrapani]

I can’t stand .500 teams and this is what this team is

 

[Labinot41]

Kanter has been dominated by Poeltl in this game

 

[Darkwebs]

5 straight games the Blazers have been down 16+ points

 

[illmatic99]

no defense, no rebounding. that's game.

 

[KingSpeed]

This sucks

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Rudy Gay everytime

 

[Titan]

getting stomped now, so fun

 

[twobullz]

SA is either passing the ball and finding the open player or else finding the mismatch. The blazers are all standing around as Dame tries to do it on his own. Results Blazers down by 18. Team ball almost always beasts hero ball.

 

[Tince]

Spurs Bench - 54
Best Bench in the NBA - 22

Granted, we're starting 2 of our bench players and playing DNP guys.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don’t understand why it’s so hard to not leave guys wide open on the three point line.

So find another team....you need a bandwagon, the Lakers are down the hall, second door on the left.....myself...I'm a Blazer fan. Win or lose

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Trent is playing like he’s annoyed that Hood started instead of him.

 

[KingSpeed]

I can’t stand .500 teams and this is what this team is

If we lose, we are 8-6, not .500

 

[TBpup]

Giles, once agian not making any real positive impact.

Not that Giles would set the world on fire, but they are doing nothing to take advantage of what he does well.
Kind of like what they aren't doing with DJJ for most of the year.

Taking away the paint requires help. Most of our guys are slow at rotations.

I hope thats not the case. If so, he's getting too many minutes; can't have guys like that on your roster.

 

[TBpup]

5 straight games the Blazers have been down 16+ points

Given who we have played in those 5 games, that is brutally unacceptable.

 

[TBpup]

Poetl out Kantering Enes.

I would rather give up the paint.

 

[ehizzy3]

We need to make a roster and/or coaching change. It’s pretty clear we will be competing for the play-in game and 4 or 5 game first round series if we make it

 

[PHXBlazer1]

It would be nice if we didn't let Poetl grab every fucking rebound

 

[Tince]

Not that Giles would set the world on fire, but they are doing nothing to take advantage of what he does well.
Kind of like what they aren't doing with DJJ for most of the year.

They're certainly not trying to run their offense through Giles or DJJ... which I would say is a good thing.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

FUCKING POETL

 

[Tince]

This roster, without CJ or Nurk shouldn't make the playoffs.

 

[Tince]

I would rather give up the paint.

Giving up layups is 2 points per possession.

Giving up wide open threes is usually about 1.4 points per possession.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So they don't fucking miss now?

 

[B-Roy]

CarmeLOL

 

[illmatic99]

We aren't even trying on defense.
