Game Thread GAME# 15: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - NOVEMBER 16, 2018 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Rozay]

You didn't watch the Celtics game? He came down and his knee buckled and he fell to the floor. He missed practice the next day and is playing through it.

Then sit his ass down

God he’s not hurt. Why is it every single time he’s struggling it’s because he’s hurt? One year it was his fingers or some shit, another year it’s his ankle, another year they even said oh he had a baby so it’s keeping him up.. lol

Fuck outta here

No. You get the fuck outta here!

This is the Blazer coaching weakness. In a game where Meyers had made 100% of his swish3s and the Blazers need 3 point scoring, the coaches failed to play him the additional 8+ min that would likely have added 2+ more swish3s. We need to notice and play the most potent scoring talent, and give additional help when Dame, CJ, Chief, and/or Jake are down in swish3 scoring.

Several of us have noted that being more active and flexible in substitutions in the first 10 wins and improved productive use of the bench were improvements that we need to continue. Let's continue to improve the discretion shown by the coaching decisions. The MIN game needs to be the end of the reversion to the weakness shown in these last 2 games.

The issue and its both awesome
and bad is Dame is a tough dude. He takes pride in going out there unless he absolutely cant. Stotts isnt exactly the type of coach who’s gonna stand up to him and tell him he needs to sit out. If its up to Dame he’s gonna be out there.

Well then he’ll shoot like he did last night

The real issue was he had 0 explosion, he couldnt shake Teague or Wiggins all night and ended up forcing a lot of things. He’ll figure it out.

All this talk about the new and improved Evan Turner this year... he is still averaging only 8.7 ppg with a PER of 12... and getting paid 18 mil per year

He is better....but it's still not equal to his contract.
