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

[Chris Craig]

The fuck was that?

The fuck was any of this?

 

[Natebishop3]

Blazers and 20 point deficits. Name a more iconic duo.

 

[BonesJones]

It's okay guys. Kingspeed says every team comes back from 20 point deficits, so we're completely fine.

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Nas is nice. So glad we have Olshey. He’s so good at drafting and finding gems. This will pay off big come playoff time.

 

[Chris Craig]

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

I'm so disappointed in him. He should fit this team seamlessly, but he has just been terrible. Is its stotts schemes?

Blazers and 20 point leads?

 

[BonesJones]

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

I hope the narrative that every wing plays better here because of Stotts is dead now.

 

[AldoTrapanl]

We can still win this folks

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Kanters not having his best game...

 

[riverman]

I hope the narrative that every wing plays better here because of Stotts is dead now.

why would you hope that?

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Damn Blazers wasting Little’s prime

 

[AldoTrapanl]

why would you hope that?

Great point.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

It's ok guys..Melo's about to come in and save us

 

[Tince]

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.

That would be awesome data to see, regardless of the outcome. I know the assumption is that you get more fast breaks off misses than makes, but it could be wrong.

Sounds like the test we need is:

Uncontested layup/dunks points per possession - points per possession off a make

vs

Points per possession off open 3's + offensive rebound scoring rate off open 3 - points per possesion off uncontested 3's.

Second Specturm probably has that data.

Blazers and 20 point deficits. Name a more iconic duo.

Blazers and wide open opponent three pointers.

 

[BonesJones]

Holy shit this is embarrassing. They might score 200 tonight.

 

[julius]

Nas is nice. So glad we have Olshey. He’s so good at drafting and finding gems. This will pay off big come playoff time.

Next year, right?

 

[BonesJones]

why would you hope that?

Because it's a false narrative.

 

[riverman]

We're shooting 38% and they are shooting over 60%....that's the game

 

[Tince]

Roco defending the oppositions best player is not playing to his strengths. He's not a great point of attack defender; much better help defender.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This is a carbon copy of our game here a year or two ago

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Warriors came back from 22 down 3 mins left in 3rd to win by 10. We need that kind of run now.

 

[Duckhook]

Bucks shooting better from 3 than from the FT line... unreal

 

[Tince]

I hope the narrative that every wing plays better here because of Stotts is dead now.

Anyone who says every <insert position> plays <better/worse> under <insert coach> is wrong.

 

[riverman]

Because it's a false narrative.

no...it's not but I understand your bias when it comes to coach

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Can we just forfeit?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Can we give Lillard and Kantor a rest?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

11 quick 3pt shots and we're totally back in this.

 

[TBpup]

Down 36 with over 3 minutes to go in the 3rd. My goodness. Nurk/CJ are not fixing that.

 

[MickZagger]

Just got home and turned the game on. Saw were down by 30. Thought to myself well shit I’m guessing they’re probably killing us from outside with 3’s

Checked the box score on the ESPN app.

YUP! They’re shooting 65% from 3

Mind boggling how this team hasn’t been able to make that adjustment and it’s been our weakness for years.
