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

[SlyPokerDog]

Is there some sort of drinking game we can make based on the Blazer's defense?

 

[Duckhook]

Hurd said missed shots have led to Buck fast break points and that’s the difference in the game...

• They’ve outscored us 12-3 in fast breaks
• They’ve made 6 more 3s than us and are shooting 64% from 3 and 60% overall to our 38%...

Could that be the reason Hurd?

 

[wizenheimer]

Can we please get rid of Melo.

I hate that he's a Blazer

 

[blazerkor]

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

I feel for you. The compulsion to post this bullshit twenty to thirty times a game, in a game thread means you're having a hard time. This isn't even a game thread comment. It's a trade thread or a thread of it's own comment.

 

[PCmor7]

I'm not freaking out over this game. We're shorthanded playing a good team whose stock and trade is exactly what our weakness is.

I just want to see Nas play well and see RoCo do something positive ... anything positive ... because right now this trade is giving me Felton flashbacks.

 

[BigGameDamian]

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

Can we count on Stotts to make some adjustments so we can get the stops to make it happen?

 

[calvin natt]

No I don’t. And Damian is the best player on the team, the face of the franchise, has input on some decisions that players usually don’t, and is paid a shit ton of money. Winning starts with him. We want better defense right? Can he play better defense? Can he demand it from the team?

 

[Tince]

Missed 3 point shots are not more dangerous for return fast breaks than other shots. Missed shots at the hoop are the bad ones for that.

I don't think that teams fast break off open layups more often than open 3's. I could be wrong though.

Well Brooke just figured it out. I wonder what game Hurd is watching?

 

[beast blazer]

Nas will probably be traded next month

Yeah, for shitty mcshittypants

i literally can’t stand Melo. Or is it ME-lo. The play that pissed me off even though he drew a foul... He got a nice defensive board and then I KNEW he’d take that as an excuse to call his own number. He dribbled up the floor, pretended to look for a team mate and then forced up a shot and luckily he got fouled.

Roco did hit a three

 

[DDolla]

This is an L even when we are healthy, why not rest Dame for tomorrow’s game?

I don't think anyone is freaking out. For me, this game is like continuously pounding your head against a brick wall and expecting to break through while saying to yourself "It's okay, headaches are normal".

 

[DDolla]

This is a lost even if we were healthy, just rest dame for tomorrow

Yeah I was yelling at the screen for him to pass the fucking ball

I didn't say anyone was freaking out. I said I wasn't.

Wasn't saying you were. I'm simply saying that it's so repetitive that I doubt anyone is, lol.

 

[PCmor7]

Roco did hit a three

He made a rebound for the Bucks, too.

 

[julius]

A depleted Blazer team against the Bucks. Is this in any way unexpected?

My silver lining thus far, Melo is not getting as much time as I had feared and Nas is getting more.

At this point, this season is all about Nassir and Anfernees growth to me. CJ isn't changing, Nurk will just get hurt again, RoCo sucks ass, Melo can't shoot to save his life or play defense, and Dame will always be Dame.

And Trent and Jones games are good too.

The rest is just a waste of energy now.

I gotcha. My bad. I misunderstood your response.

 

[bobf]

I haven’t tested made shots but wouldn’t be at all surprised if PPP after made layups is as high or higher than all 3’s made and missed.

 

[julius]

huh?

There is someone who kept using that argument whenever anyone discussed a certain Blazers having a sub-par game.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Keep it rollin Nas

 

[Darkwebs]

Nas is for real!!!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

The fuck was that?

 

[riverman]

Is there some sort of drinking game we can make based on the Blazer's defense?

take a drink every time we force a shot clock violation....I always support sobriety!

 

[riverman]

Nas is for real!!!

Ths is worth the price of the game...he's found his offense tonight...career high so far..will do wonders for his confidence moving forward...Lillard is feeding him alot tonight

 

[calvin natt]

It’s shocking how bad Covington is and has been since day one. He should sit.
