Game Thread Game #16 - BLAZERS VS BULLS - NOVEMBER 17, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[blazedanugz]

Wait we took Nurk out????

 

[AldoTrapani]

starting to get ugly.. why is Chicago shooting so damn well.

We’re one of the bottom 5 teams defensively that’s why

We are losing this game but will beat the Sixers and maybe Nuggets

Called it

 

[VenomXL]

Bulls are a long and physical defense. Total nightmare for this Blazers team for years now.

 

[glredig]

We just look horrible. I get the impression that we only have a chance of success if Dame shoots a lot. It feels like he's deferring too much (maybe by design). There's just no firepower anywhere else.

Edit: I don't like CJ's game. Even when he's scoring a lot, it's just not entertaining basketball for me personally.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

The “Next Game” graphics on the court during free throws is actually kind of cool.
At least they aren’t covering up the score block anymore.

 

[julius]

So much for that good defense and offense at home.

 

[OneSport3]

CJ falling asleep on defense…again…

 

[Predator]

What the fuck CJ lol

 

[LayneStaley]

Guess Terry was a genius.

This is about as bad as it gets. We have to have our A-game against a team like this. We come out with way too many turnovers, look like we haven't played together before, take a few bad shots, get discouraged and stop competing for a couple of possessions and all of a sudden it's an insurmountable deficit.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We'll crush them in OT.

 

[Chris Craig]

The first half

 

[blazerfan11]

If Lillard gets double teamed or triple teamed near the hoop shouldn't that turn into an easy two points for somebody else?

I guess you could say the same about Lillard and Ball.

 

[MickZagger]

CJ’s typical disappearing act

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They’ll come back in this game.
Watch. This isn’t over.

 

[DDolla]

Dame needs help and we got him McClemore, Nance, Snell and Zeller

Lavine got Vucevic, Caruso, DeRozan and Ball

smh

 

[42N8Bounce]

Well, on the bright side, the Blazers are shooting 37%, and the Bulls are shooting 56%, and we’re ‘only’ down by 15.

It could be worse. We could be down by 16.

Too much wine again last night

 

[James lamphear]

While we getting beat all over tonight on both ends 11 turnovers so far terrible performance. CJ zeros across the board Dame not have very good time either. While let's see which players on this team have some pride this 2nd half.

 

[Haakzilla]

...so far, the performance of the night goes to Electrick Jumpers halftime show!

 

[Mr. Robot]

 

[wizenheimer]

I know this will come as a shock to all of you...but Chicago is shooting 58% on FG's and 47% on three's. Doesn't look good but it's comforting to know it isn't the roster

 

[DDolla]

If we are laughing at the Lakers as trash, what do you call this Blazer team?

 

[OneSport3]

If the Bulls are doing this to us tonight, what are the Warriors going to do to us the day after Thanksgiving? Not going to be pretty.

 

[wizenheimer]

It's like the Blazers have tried to go to Nurk this game to get that going, but the guards can't score. If the guards score and play well, it doesn't go to Nurk. Blazers need to learn to do both.

I'll say it for the thousandth time: the Blazers are a 130 million dollar game of bop-a-mole

 

[julius]

the Blazers shouldn't need to do an investigation into Olshey to see if he should be fired. They should look at the roster and go "yep, he gone"
