Game Thread GAME# 19: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - FEBRUARY 1, 2021 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[SlyPokerDog]

8 quick 3 pt shots and we're right back in this.

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah, but game 7 vs Denver!

huh?

 

[TBpup]

YAY!!!!! We held them under 80.

 

[julius]

I'm so tired of our commentators.

I'm far more tired of the horrible effort on defense by the Blazers. And it's not like the horrible defense started due to the injuries.

WIDE open 3 pointers are not because of injuries.

 

[OneSport3]

God I feel bad for Dame

STFU!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

None of this is good, but even we've hustled and tipped balls on defense, it's bounced right to an open shooter for the Bucks. Uncanny.

Seems like it's been that way all season

 

[Serbian]

We should have traded for bobby portis. Rocco might be worse NbA 3 point shooter i have ever seen. And we gave up 2 first round picks for this bum??

 

[illmatic99]

"the blazers know they're playing the #1 offensive team"...

Lamar, if the team plays their usual shitty defense, they can make the #30 offensive team look like a top 5 team.

Their defense embarrassing

they did. the OKC game was like a week ago

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't care how bad you think we are. We shouldn't be THIS bad defensively.

This happened to Jazz last night and they have good D. Sometimes a team gets hot.

 

[beast blazer]

79 points.....

 

[Chris Craig]

Nas will probably be traded next month

 

[KingSpeed]

79 points.....

It happens in today’s NBA

 

[Chris Craig]

79 points.....

At least its not 80

So much this.

It doesn't matter in the last few years who they have, who is healthy, who is injured.....they just continue to be porous defensively.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nas will probably be traded next month

for Lebron?

 

[BonesJones]

How are we worse defensively than Minnesota? Or Chicago? When are people going to realize this is more than just a personnel thing?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I am actively rooting for the Bucks to score 200 points. Embarrassment might get a much needed kick in the ass.

Dear Blazers,

You can bring effort every game. It’s literally the only thing you can control, so BRING IT!!!!

 

[TBpup]

That right there is embarrassing.

 

[Titan]

Nice we gave up less points in 2nd Q

 

[James lamphear]

I know we can't compete with high level playoffs team we can compete against the lottery team. It's just facts folks but I am going to focus the individual positive especially the young guys. Tonight Little is active and he looks like he belongs. Dame trying get others players involved he got 6 assist. Trent and Simons both got 8 a piece. I am not going talk about Melo because he is wash up as a player.

 

[Chris Craig]

for Lebron?

For someone who will find a way to play worse in Portland

 

[BlazerBeav]

Think I'll do something else from here than watch this - but sure hope to discover that Dame sat the fourth tonight.

 

[wizenheimer]

STFU!

I'm beginning to think that's his middle name

 

[PCmor7]

Can we trade Kent?

Talking about how the difference is our shots aren't falling when we're on a pace for 120 and to give up 160.

Then he says it's Nas's best half of the season. Yeah, no duh. He's barely played.

 

[Serbian]

Stotts is the problem. Every game playing the zone we leave wide open shooters and hope and pray they miss. I have yet to see blazers have wide open shooters very seldom. Stotts is a piece of shit and i hate his guts him and olshey bastard cunt

 

[Tince]

Hopefully we can shut it down mid-3rd quarter and give ourselves a shot to win tomorrow.

 

[AldoTrapani]

STFU!

You don’t feel for him man? He deserves better than this

The majority of our 3's are open/wide open.

Obviously we don't have slow CJ to blame anymore. Stotts doesn't care about defense, he doesn't bench guys over defensive lapses. He doesn't have a scheme that stops the three which has become the most dangerous weapon in today's NBA. It's a clusterfuck.

 

[bobf]

Can we please get rid of Melo.
