Game Thread Game #19 - BLAZERS @ KINGS - NOVEMBER 24, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

We lost to these queens. Jesus.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

SMH. An absurd loss. Please trade CJ, I am done with this guy.

 

[TBpup]

i fucking hate him (as a player)

He can be incredibly creative with how he scores....but I can't stand HOW he plays. This team will NEVER win anything of significance with him on this team playing the way he has with Dame.

 

[riverman]

CJ bricked the endgame in butt ugly fashion....embarrassing..threw away Nurk's beast game

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Even when he's inbounding CJ hates to pass.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[TBpup]

Powell - 22 points on 16 shots.
Nurkic - 28 points on 17 shots.
Little - 16 points on 10 shots.

......CJ - 13 points on 20 shots.

 

[Cugel]

It hurts all the worse because Nurk's big game was meaningless and Friday will be a blowout.

 

[Mr. Robot]

cj mccolum gave his best effort to lose this game and he succeeded

fair play to him

 

[illmatic99]

Brings Zeller in just in case Sac misses free throw. You mean a coach can do that?

it was a dumb decision in hindsight because dame got the board and we wasted a timeout to get Zeller out for the offensive possession.

we then got a 5 second count off a terrible ATO where someone screwed up. Kings broadcast didn't show too many angles, but i think it was either Dame trying his dumbass flop to draw a foul on the inbounds (that he NEVER gets) or Nurk not recognizing the clutter and clearing out

 

[Mr. Robot]

to lose twice against sacramento, now thats something

That timeout wasn't just to get Zeller out...it was to advance the ball

 

[Tince]

Embarassing. How much is too much?

For many people, this was obvious a couple years ago. For our GM, he felt the roster was fine.

We brought in a defensive minded head coach, a defensive assistant coach, upgraded our defense on the bench, but none of it can make up for numerous poor point of attach defenders who play significant minutes.

When all else failed, CJ should have just gave the ball to Dame even though he was pinned to the sideline. At least don't just turn the fucking ball over.

 

[illmatic99]

which was not necessary. there was like 24 seconds left and we were down 4. i woulda saved my last timeout til the end.

timeouts and rotations, this is where i expected a first time head coach to struggle. scott brooks needs to get in billups' ear about this stuff. we haven't had too many close games

 

[DDolla]

This team is an embarrassment but on pace for a 40 wins home record

 

[bobf]

That game really pissed me off. We threw that game. Lazy weak ass mental midget no heart game.

 

[wizenheimer]

LOL....that should be the inscription on his career monument

stupid decisions all around

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
The Blazers still can't figure out how to play on the road and it ends up costing them a game against the Kings. Why are they not playing better away from Portland? Discuss the game with us!

 

[BigGameDamian]

What a terrible terrible loss.

that's really making me laugh

Blazers 2021-22: New Scheme, Same Bad Dream

 

[GDiama]

Damn just woke up to this result. Losing from this team missing Holmes while Barnes and Fox left the game as well. Seems we cannot catch a break.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ had the same grin on his face he did when he stepped out of bounds in game 5.

Also it’s clear accountability only applies to some players.

 

[blazerkor]

It was a quiet second half from Dame but the dude still knows how to impact the game. It was a loud and disastrous game from CJ. He was forcing shit, he was getting blown by, he had the two big turnovers (dragging his foot to get that travel and not inbounding the ball), and having the most shots on the team when he was shooting the ball the worst on the team... he was just terrible tonight. Great game from Nurk but as a team we don't play winning ball on the road. They have to pick themselves up from this huge loss and pull off an upset in one of the next two games.

 

[illmatic99]

people getting way too disheartened.

didn't we just come back from down 20 against the 2nd best team in the east like 7 days ago? nurk is finishing much better of late. dame is finding his shot.

chauncey needs to get better managing minutes. especially on a b2b, but at least he acknowledges his shortcomings. im still encouraged.

we desperately need size.

You just listed three breaks we caught - and still couldn’t find a road win.

0-2 versus Sacramento. There’s just no way a good team does that.

it's clear?

billups uses his two leading scorers a crutch. like most new coaches do.

...disheartened because we have seen this movie multiple times before. Nothing new, so it gets very frustrating.
