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

[beast blazer]

So back to back 40 or blowouts?

 

[BonesJones]

You take the two guards away from this team, this is what happens. Blowouts. Doesn't matter the matchups.

This reminds me of a playoff game.

 

[LuckyShot]

So they are playing Durant at center?

They can tell we aren't putting any heart or thought into this game so they can fuck around and do whatever they want and still stomp us.

 

[kjironman1]

Would think they would take advantage of th big guy in the Middle that is bigger than everyone on the court?

 

[BonesJones]

Guys just watch our player movement. It's all perimeter-based.

 

[kjironman1]

Kind of like that?

 

[Rozay]

Of course you do

Men lie, woman lie, numbers don’t

 

[Rozay]

Just got home.. what the hell is happening? Curry and Draymond ain’t even playing

 

[LuckyShot]

Oh hey, we have this big 7 foot guy that's fairly skilled and they aren't playing anyone that can guard him.

 

[illmatic99]

We have packed it in.

looks like an exhausted team that came in thinking there's no shot to win

 

[Blazer4ever]

For the rest of the game, watch Dame playing defense, if you're a masochist I mean

 

[julius]

We're just sleeping and can't even make basic passes so we isolate and shoot terrible shots.

This teams passing is vastly overrated. I'm still on the Stotts is not a good coach bandwagon.

 

[trailblazer18]

Dame just getting owned by this length.

 

[kjironman1]

They need to set up Nurkic and let him pass out of double teams. If they don’t double then let him destroy them.

 

[beast blazer]

Yes it is! What else do you expect them to do? The sets are absolute crap with no productive player movement.

Maybe they don't bother to move because they know they won't get the ball. This team can be very good offensively, but they face in and out, which is a function of how much dame and cj play 1 on 5

 

[brooklynballer]

Is it Stotts fault? All of our ball handlers look for their own shot first. They know how to move the ball when they want to

Yes, Stotts allows this to happen. Soft as fuck that coach.

 

[LuckyShot]

WTF are we doing

Not giving a shit.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame just getting owned by this length.

Yeah, we can't get him in space. Our off-ball movement is stagnant and if it happens, is perimeter oriented, so the help-side defense doesn't have to worry about it and can load up the paint against Dame and C.J.

 

[Binx]

How embarrassing is this? We’re getting beaten by guys named Quinn Cook and Jonas Jerebko. Ugh. I may not even bother watching the second half.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame just getting owned by this length.

his decision making this game has been awful

 

[LuckyShot]

This teams passing is vastly overrated. I'm still on the Stotts is not a good coach bandwagon.

Who says we are a good passing team? We're in the bottom of the league in assists every year.

 

[beast blazer]

I believe Stotts actually wants more ball movement. The question is do cj,dame and Turner want that?

 

[LuckyShot]

How embarrassing is this? We’re getting beat by guys named Quinn Cook and Jonas Jerebko. Ugh. I may not even bother watching the second half.

Yeah I've had a long couple of days and I don't really have the time or energy for this shit. Must be how the players have felt this entire road trip.

 

[Scalma]

Get down. Ignore everyone and let Dame and CJ jack up stupid shot after stupid shot. There’s the Trail Blazers I know and love.

 

[julius]

Just got home.. what the hell is happening? Curry and Draymond ain’t even playing

If you've been a fan for more than a week and a half, this should be an expected result, considering who the Warriors are missing.

This franchise always seems to be the slump buster for other teams.

 

[LuckyShot]

I believe Stotts actually wants more ball movement. The question is do cj,dame and Turner want that?

Then he needs to not be a limp dicked pansy and do something about it.

 

[illmatic99]

Started rewatching the wire this wknd. Might just switch over for the second half

 

[julius]

Who says we are a good passing team? We're in the bottom of the league in assists every year.

They can be last in assists and still be an overrated passing team.

 

[illmatic99]

Then he needs to not be a limp dicked pansy and do something about it.

They need to be benched

 

[BonesJones]

Maybe they don't bother to move because they know they won't get the ball. This team can be very good offensively, but they face in and out, which is a function of how much dame and cj play 1 on 5

That's ridiculous. Dame has shown the ability to make the right pass his whole career. He sees cutters. And if players are using other players as an excuse to play lazily and stand on the perimeter instead of moving, then that means they care more about their touches than the betterment of the team, and they need to go. It could also be a product of them not being instructed to, or them simply not listening to the coaching staff, which means the coaching staff needs to go.
