Game Thread GAME# 15: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - NOVEMBER 19, 2019 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[Scalma]

Bazemore is doo doo. Trade him for iggy

 

[illmatic99]

Baze's decision making belies his age and veteran status

 

[AldoTrapani]

At the very least Little will have a long career for the little things he does. He’s already that good. I’m excited to see his future.

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ is at least trying to facilitate tonight

sadly, this looks like two below average teams

 

[hoopsjock]

Bazemore would be a really good role player if he just realized he wasn't a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd option on offense.

Instead he plays like he's Dame.

 

[H.C.]

Why can't the Blazers just let Simons bring the ball up? Hezonja doesn't even make good passes anymore (if he ever did).
edit; well taking it to the hoop looked good against a single team.

Simons has struggled this year bringing the ball up the court.
That's something he can work on in the summer. Not during games.

 

[B-Roy]

He's still 100x better than Evan Turner.

Turner ran the offense at least. Somewhat. Baze wastes just as many possessions calling his own number. And his defense is overrated. He makes help plays but his man to man is not that good.

Yea it’s odd he sounds like a really smart dude too. I don’t know why he does more than he thinks he can do...

He certainly ran offense for the other team. Evan Turnover.

 

[BonesJones]

Melo looked quick!

 

[blazerfan11]

Simons is making some nice passes.

 

[TBpup]

Simons doing a good job of creating open shots for teammates.

 

[B-Roy]

Skal's defensive awareness is next to nil.

Well that and he doesn't have Meyers Leonard to play Point Center anymore.

 

[BonesJones]

Backdoor cut Skal.

 

[TBpup]

Why would Mario even attempt that pass?

 

[hoopsjock]

LMAO, Melo's trying to run plays off the ball. Silly Melo, we don't run plays. Just do your thing.

 

[TBpup]

That is the 3rd great pass by Ant in just the last few minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

Why does Melo set better screens than our starting center?

 

[BonesJones]

I'm so tired of Mario

 

[H.C.]

Well that and he doesn't have Meyers Leonard to play Point Center anymore.

Point Center....

 

[bobf]

Ant adept dealing with the trap.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Why does Melo set better screens than our starting center?

He doesn't set better screens than nurk.

 

[BonesJones]

Gotta love our guards shooting less than 80% from the FT line.

 

[hoopsjock]

There should be a rule with this lineup that other than Simons and Melo no one is allowed to shoot unless you get a pass and are wide open or if Skal has a post up.

 

[blazerfan11]

Blazers should post up Carmelo all night long.

 

[B-Roy]

I've got a new name for Baze.

Bazemoron.

 

[H.C.]

wtf was bazemore doing on that defensive possession?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Melo is playing D and passing. What? Sustainable?
