Game Thread GAME# 17: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - JANUARY 28, 2021 - THURSDAY, 4:30, TNT

[Hoopguru]

They push the ball we depend on 30’ foot shots.

 

[DDolla]

Game is Over!

 

[PCmor7]

It’s them not valuing possessions. Always an issue, every year. That’s coaching.

Hmmm, yes and no. A coach can only take out guys to make a point if the guys he's putting in are competent.

Nas might be competent if he had a hand transplant from Stotts. I mean, we're up at least five in this game at half if he make layups. And there's no defense for our defense -- it's horrendous.

EDIT: spelling

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Trent, Melo and Anf all shooting like shit.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Stotts is still incorporating the new guys. Guys just aren't making shots...

 

[Tince]

Well that was a great microcosm of this garbage season. Not sure why I keep hoping for anything different.

Exactly. You should not get your hopes up with CJ, Nurk, Covington, and Collins out.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Just love spamming this shit huh? This bad play from the Blazers is getting old but you nonsense is getting older.

Man you like this shit? Why keep fighting the inevitable? Blow this shit up. This team and franchise sucks

Dame Lillard deserves better. Get him out of this shit so he doesn’t rot away

 

[BlazerBeav]

They push the ball we depend on 30’ foot shots.

No? We depend on people making wide open threes. At the end of the quarter DJJ air-balled one and both Trent and Melo bricked them - all off good action from Dame.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Exactly. You should not get your hopes up with CJ, Nurk, Covington, and Collins out.

They still won’t do shit

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers taketh the lead, Blazers giveth the lead. Seems to be the order of the universe

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nas deserves a coach who will actually allow him to not be a statue in the corner.

 

[julius]

I'm calling it. They're not coming back from this one. Outside of Damian, who is going to get them points?

 

[Tince]

Stotts is still incorporating the new guys. Guys just aren't making shots...

Go back and watch Giles & Little around the rim; 1-4 plus 2 turnovers.

 

[AldoTrapani]

@Natebishop3 and I been telling ya all season this team won’t do shit.

blow it up

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Houston is twice as fast as us going the court and Kanter can't protect a damn thing out there.

Giles isn't stopping much either, although you would think he would have the tools to do better.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I'm calling it. They're not coming back from this one. Outside of Damian, who is going to get them points?

It’s good let them lose we need big changes

 

[julius]

Nas deserves a coach who will actually allow him to not be a statue in the corner.

As does Simons...and Covington, and Jones Jr, and Hood....

 

[BonesJones]

Houston has taken more jumpers, so that' why they're losing?

Our paint conversion rate has been horrid tonight.

I'm talking about the fouls, and they have 30 points in the paint to our 22... plus, thebfouls are even.

 

[Tince]

not anymore.

Correct. We were when the post was made.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nas deserves a coach who will actually allow him to not be a statue in the corner.

He literally got passed the ball alone under the hoop..........and DROPPED THE DAMN BALL OUT OF BOUNDS. Little is useless.

 

[PCmor7]

Trent, Melo and Anf all shooting like shit.

Trent's so bad you could have listed him twice.

 

[James lamphear]

5 point off the bench that's has be better. But right now they just push the ball up the court and we not getting back.

 

[julius]

I'm talking about FT shooting, and they have 30 points in the paint to our 22...

Portland doesn't take advantage of their talent, or what the other team lacks.

 

[Tince]

I'm talking about FT shooting, and they have 30 points in the paint to our 22...

My bad... they are running and finishing in the paint better than us for sure.

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is good guys. The more we lose the more wholesale changes can be made. This team ain’t gonna do shit healthy or not

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Go back and watch Giles & Little around the rim; 1-4 plus 2 turnovers.

So going 1 for 4 and turning the ball over twice means we lose our huge lead? Huh?

 

[wizenheimer]

I wonder if HCP knows who Wood is now

and, my oh my, Oladipo/Wall are the best guard duo around at pushing the ball up the floor and to the hoop

Blazers have 7 assists and Dame has 5 of them. Portland was a poor passing team with Nurkic and CJ. They are the worst passing team right now

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm calling it. They're not coming back from this one. Outside of Damian, who is going to get them points?

They are only down 3 points

 

[Darkwebs]

Lol. Barkley said “My Blazers” during the halftime show

 

[AldoTrapani]

They are only down 3 points

Who gives a shit they were up 20 and gave it away so easily this team sucks let’s blow it up and rebuild for a better future
