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

[ehizzy3]

Portis using the broom to get the ball out, took me back to my childhood of having to lower and raise the hoop with a stick lol

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Melo taketh away, Melo taketh away

 

[Chris Craig]

Milwaukee taking a timeout?

 

[Darkwebs]

Sweet scoop shot under the arm of the defender by Giles!

 

[riverman]

I always think we can win any game under any circumstance but it's fair to say I didn't see this roster beating the Bucks tonight....good news is Nas is getting the rust off...down the road that'll contribute to wins

 

[Tince]

Can we give Lillard and Kantor a rest?

This was my goal heading into the game.

I think we're at a point we can run Elleby, Belvins, Giles, Ant, and Nas into the ground. Would be nice to have two more scrubs avaiable since we'll actually need Nas and Ant tomorrow.

 

[Chris Craig]

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

Not happening. Our starters about to sit for the rest of the game. Milwaukee will leave starters in to embarass us

I'm sure that they'll finish the game tonight

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

Don’t have to fix every game though. Can’t go 82-0. Every team has a game like this.

 

[bobf]

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.

I don’t think completely uncontested layups will have high return PPP, but layups where the offensive player has to drive hard and he beats his man... point is he’s far under the basket. I can’t separate contested vs uncontested but I can compare all made layups vs other shots.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can we just forfeit?

Right. Do we have to play the 4th? Is there a white flag we can wave?

 

[Serbian]

We gonna loose by 50. Ridiculous

 

[riverman]

We gonna loose by 50. Ridiculous

which is exactly the same as losing by 1 in triple overtime...only the chances of injury are decreased....it's a training camp game...

 

[julius]

Don’t have to fix every game though. Can’t go 82-0. Every team has a game like this.

This isn't the first game like this this year.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

They're gonna put up 150

 

[Tince]

I don’t think completely uncontested layups will have high PPP, but layups where the offensive player has to drive hard and he beats his man... point is he’s far under the basket. I can’t separate contested vs uncontested but I can compare all made layups vs other shots.

That makes sense.

My point is that we have so many horrible point-of-attack defenders who get blown by on one or two dribbles, that refusing to help would result in a strong majority of uncontested layups.

Either way, would love to see the data even if it doesn't apply to this situation.

Yes it is. Down 36 after 3?

 

[Darkwebs]

The biggest bright spot of this game has been the revelation of Little.

Looks like he has become a legitimate shooting threat.

 

[julius]

Yes it is. Down 36 after 3?

No, shitty defense, sub-par play, lazy passes and overall no sense of urgency. That's not the first time this has happened this year.

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Hey guys. Now is as good a time as any to tell you something. I have a small penis.

As soon as DJJ comes back Little won't play anymore

 

[AldoTrapanl]

But never down 36. We usually make a run.

 

[DDolla]

Trade Dame already, he deserve a ring.

 

[AldoTrapanl]

Ugh

 

[Chris Craig]

Wizards getting their blue jerseys ready

 

[DDolla]

We traded Clyde to get a ring might as well do it for Dame

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Here comes the cigar squad

 

[AldoTrapanl]

We traded Clyde to get a ring might as well do it for Dame

Why

 

[Darkwebs]
