Game Thread GAME# 19: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - NOVEMBER 23, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[Cippy91]

Too much guard play, not enough ball movement

 

[Blazer4ever]

Until Dame is held accountable to not playing defense and leaving his team playing 4 on 5, we're not winning anything. You want to make excuses for him, keep losing

Cj playing tough defense tonight.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Thompson is killing CJ. He's gonna have a 50 point game at this pace.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Cj playing tough defense tonight.

CJ is undesized compared to Klay. If Dame had any pride as a defender, he would take this assignment

 

[BonesJones]

Cj playing tough defense tonight.

Yup. People not paying attention will say "Klay scored though! Trash defense." But C.J. battled hard and did everything right on that possession (except being 3 inches shorter).

 

[BonesJones]

CJ is undesized compared to Klay. If Dame had any pride as a defender, he would take this assignment

What? Dame is even more undersized...

 

[Jade Falcon]

It doesn't help that Thompson has 5 inches just standing flat-footed against our two guards.

So you want Lillard tocover SGs

 

[BonesJones]

Klay takes Damian on defense, you would expect Dame embraces the challenge on the other end but we're right now hiding him on one of their bench players

Dame's not a defensive stopper and he's a 6'3 PG and Klay is a 6'7 wing. Why would they matchup Dame on Klay? And you think that's Dame's decision? Know what you're talking about...

 

[BonesJones]

If Steph was in this game Dame would be guarding him...

How tall do you think Klay is?

 

[kjironman1]

I’m getting off the game thread. This just pisses me off.

 

[BonesJones]

Previous Possession: Isolation, no passes.
This Possession: Isolation, no passes.
Next Possession: Isolation, no passes.

 

[BonesJones]

Oh look:

Aggressive Defense
Steal
Fastbreak
Good pass
Layup

 

[Blazer4ever]

Finally, some defense

 

[BonesJones]

C.J. is playing great defense right now.

 

[BonesJones]

As of now, Our Curry > Their Curry

 

[BonesJones]

This is why Klay is overrated. As the best player on a team, he's not good.

 

[BonesJones]

Yes Nik!

 

[kjironman1]

I feel way better about the second unit when they have Curry and Harkless.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This is why Klay is overrated. As the best player on a team, he's not good.

You mean best player on the court at the moment? I'd take KD for best player on the team

 

[Blazer4ever]

So you want Lillard tocover SGs

I think against GS specifically, our best matchup is CJ on Steph, Dame on Klay

 

[Jade Falcon]

How tall do you think Klay is?

My mistake.....4 inches, not 5.

 

[trailblazer18]

Seems like two teams just going through the motions in the first. Glad we got the lead. If we can just muster up some energy on this last game of the road trip I think we can get this game.

 

[kjironman1]

I think against GS specifically, our best matchup is CJ on Steph, Dame on Klay

Fair enough. I think they would switch enough to get that many times anyway.

 

[BonesJones]

I think against GS specifically, our best matchup is CJ on Steph, Dame on Klay

Why? Dame is more undersized than C.J., and you just said Klay has the advantage because C.J. is undersized. Dame is quicker so he's a better matchup against Steph... What you're saying makes 0 sense.

 

[BonesJones]

Ideally though, they'd just take whoever's closest in transition and switch any screens between the two.

 

[BonesJones]

My mistake.....4 inches, not 5.

C.J. is listed as 3 inches shorter lol.

 

[BonesJones]

Guys, Curry will get going, and when he does he'll be a huge piece for us.
