Game Thread GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ KINGS - OCTOBER 25, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

This is going to be a long ass season if they keep letting teams shoot .50% or better from 3.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nights like this is where CJ not being good at drawing fouls becomes an issue.

 

[VenomXL]

So many open threes.

 

[illmatic99]

This 3pt defense is nonexistent

 

[LuckyShot]

We are just flat out being lazy on defense.

 

[B-Roy]

They are having REAL problems finding their man in transition. It should not be this hard.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Sigh.

I honestly don't know how much of this I can watch this season. The wins are great, but the losses are just exhausting.

 

[hoopsjock]

CJ is making an effort to pass tonight. Threw two early lobs. Ran the offense for Simons to get a 3 when he was on fire. It's what we've been asking him to do so I can't really get mad at him if for not making shots.

Dame, just lob it to the rim for Whiteside.

 

[Titan]

Well that sucked right there

Not even guarding Fox in transition is unacceptable.

Simons is so good when he just lets it go, doesn’t think. He’s basically Luke Skywalker in an x-wing, in game 1 he was using the tracker, in game 2 he’s using the force.

Nerd Alert!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Simons is in fire so CJ came in to quench it, gj...

 

[Cugel]

there is a major deficiency at 3 pt d. you cant give anyone that much time to shoot a 3 for fux sake

 

[riverman]

Hassan and Skal forget to pick up the 3 pt shooter at the top of the key...Stotts looked pissed on that last wide open 3 they made...nobody out there at all.

 

[LuckyShot]

We are helping pretty well at the basket at least.

 

[DUB]

Great steal and jam CJ!

I dunno man Simons had made a few then CJ bricked twice and skal missed one...

 

[Titan]

I kinda wish that we had a coach who sees a player is hot and rides that player. Seems like Ant could have more than 12 points this half

 

[LuckyShot]

There up go, CJ.

 

[hoopsjock]

CJ's first play he ran for Simons and passed to him for an open 3.

 

[craigehlo]

Deadmon is awful.

 

[LuckyShot]

When we decide to play defense, we all of a sudden look good and start getting easier shots on offense. Go figure.

 

[B-Roy]

Not even guarding Fox in transition is unacceptable.

No, it was a miscommunication. Both Dame and Hood thought they were supposed to get Hield, and both hesitated when they ran out to Hield and needed up leaving Fox. The communication should have came much sooner as to who picks up who.

 

[VenomXL]

Fun game. That backcourt of theirs is something.

 

[TBpup]

1st Half thoughts:

• CJ still in the bricklaying zone....maybe the dunk will get him going
• Simons is NOT in the bricklaying zone
• Dame getting to the rim at will
• Still yet to find anyone on the Blazers who can figure out how to throw the tallest/longest guy on the floor a lob pass
• Blazers still can't guard the 3'pt line
• Bench much better tonight (20 points in the 1st half)
• Whiteside shooting 82% so far early in the season
• The mystery remains as to why Tolliver was brought here....

I hear yeah... Looks CJ did decide to wake up bit. CJ has looked to still be in offseason form over all to me though lol

He was gassed.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sacramento is no pushover

 

[LuckyShot]

Sacramento is no pushover

Talented, but inexperienced.

Who's his agent
