Game Thread GAME# 2: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 26, 2020 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

Melo should be in China if he still wants to play.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Ok Melo doesn’t have it tonight..bring in Giles

 

[Duckhook]

We’re about to go down by 10 pts to Houston

With 6 players not playing for them

 

[TBpup]

This is a loss. We all can see it

Rockets will probably wear down with so few players with any talent. Still, this is ridiculous.

 

[bobf]

How can we be the deepest team in the league with the worst 2nd unit in the league?

We’re 8 deep.

 

[calvin natt]

Mind boggling

 

[Boise Blazer]

Stotts and his rigged rotations based upon time left in the quarter.... Smh

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Stotts is about to get fired. This is the 5th blow out in a row

 

[beast blazer]

Harden is not even playing and they are destroying us

 

[B-Roy]

This is unwatchable.

 

[julius]

So, what'll be the excuse tonight?

 

[DDolla]

Facts: Team Sucks.... Bring in Harden

 

[illmatic99]

wtf man.

 

[James lamphear]

We're still running our defense from last year 95% of the time.

So it didn't take 10 games before Stotts gave up on the new defense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn something has to be going on behind the scenes. I wonder what happened.

 

[TBpup]

We’re about to go down by 10 pts to Houston

And there you go. Down 10 in the 2nd quarter to a team that is almost half full of undrafted players.

 

[Natebishop3]

Our bench is trash.

 

[BonesJones]

Harden is not even playing and they are destroying us

It's absolutely fucking pathetic. This fraud of a fucking coach has been here way too fucking long. This offense is a fucking joke.

I watch Gonzaga and they move the hell out of the ball. They rotate properly and correctly. I watch the Blazers and it's just disgusting fucking basketball and a shame to the game.

I'm so over Terry.

 

[B-Roy]

So, what'll be the excuse tonight?

Fix what is fixable first. Every game the team started going downhill the moment Melo comes in the game, and we spend the rest of the game playing catch-up.

Take Melo out back and end his misery.

 

[calvin natt]

I think Blazers can win the game, but this is not good. A “win” won’t mask how bad they are right now. Gonna need some serious patience with this group.

 

[illmatic99]

in what way would giles be worse here? WTF are melo/kanter adding?

 

[Labinot41]

I hate Terry Stotts so much

 

[beast blazer]

Damn something has to be going on behind the scenes. I wonder what happened.

It's on the court. We have selfish players and a big collection of crappy defenders

 

[Cugel]

Once they go down by 20 I will sign off.

 

[Tince]

Look at the second unit and tell me there's less talent there than the Clippers, Suns or Jazz.

Coaching is clearly failing at getting the best out of them.

Kanter - Benched by Boston last year
Hood - DNPs by Cleveland before coming to Portland, now coming off a major injury
Melo - Unsigned by 29 teams in the league.
Ant - Worst rated gaurd in the league last year.
Trent - Stud

Which one of those things is not true?

 

[Hoopguru]

Cov & DJJ must be frustrated!

 

[Labinot41]

This organization treats Stotts like he brought a couple of championships to Portland lmao

 

[Darkwebs]

This is a loss. We all can see it

Don’t worry. Stotts will make the proper adjustments.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Stotts bout to be fired

 

[Titan]

I leave for a couple of mins and we still haven’t scored
