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

[BlazerBeav]

51-21 run. Sweet Jesus we are a joke.

 

[julius]

up by 20, down by 10.

Sounds about right.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Dames D just isnt there!

His D got him twins!

 

[Tince]

ANOTHER point blank miss in the key.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'm not blaming it on anyone. We were the underdogs coming in for a reason.

Oh, I could have sworn you were talking about the missed shots and turnovers by Giles and Little... Perhaps it was all a dream.

 

[B-Roy]

We weren't even this bad in the Hark/Aminu/Plumlee days.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Turn it off!

That's the problem with an addiction - it's not good for you but you can't help it.

I was saying how poorly they've played. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming.

 

[julius]

I wonder how many more times Portland will be embarrassed by their defense before they change something. Anything.

Please.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Please wake the fuck up Neil and put that flag on Terry's desk!

 

[Tince]

I feel you!

 

[Darkwebs]

Trent engulfed in flames

 

[Tince]

What is wrong with Houston?

First they start out unprepared to a team missing a bunch of players, now they've blown a 10 point lead? They're a hot mess, like us!

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Of course they have, they're coached by Terry Stotts.

The whole team has been playing poorly all season. Scapegoating Little and Giles who barely play is fundamentally misunderstanding the team's struggles.

 

[illmatic99]

See how DJ is closing out on these threes? Thats what more of these dudes need to do

Atleast their rebuilding and have a plan. What are we doing? Just plug a bunch of scrubs with the best player we ever had and hope for the best

 

[James lamphear]

Right now Trent keeping them in the game still no defense there giving to space on there shooters or they just get blown by..

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Jones keeping us close by creating two turnovers and blocking a shot.

Yep, that's the reason. Remind me again of all those players who struggled greatly under Stotts and went on the light the league on fire elsewhere. He's coached 100 players here, so you should have no problem listing 20+

 

[BlazerBeav]

Thing is, Houston's defense is bad too - we just have to make the open looks (which of late we have not been doing).

It was the radio or TNT broadcast that said they are top 2 in defense since the Harden trade.

 

[Tince]

That House 3 was UGLY!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Figures. We play good defense and they hit a three at the shot clock buzzer.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow House!!

 

[B-Roy]

Figures. We play good defense and they hit a three at the shot clock buzzer.

What do you mean? It was wide open. Carmelo had to guard 2 people and chose to guard neither of them.

 

[AldoTrapani]

We’re gonna see who the real fans are when the rebuild starts soon

 

[julius]

I'm so tired of excuses for shitty play that is evident when they're fully healthy.

 

[Chris Craig]

This game is over

 

[illmatic99]

Why do we suddenly have Kanter showing instead of dropping

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If Kantor is going to step out, he cannot let the guy glide right around him. force him back inside.
