Game Thread GAME# 21: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - DECEMBER 3, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, TNT

[KingSpeed]

the tricky part to beating Rockets is to rebound Westbrook's wild bricks that can go in any direction

 

[illmatic99]

Wide open corner threes

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus, Chris Jericho is fat as fuck.

 

[illmatic99]

Wide open corner threes

 

[H.C.]

Whiteside please just take the jump hook. No need to overthink it.

 

[BonesJones]

Too much standing around.

 

[Darkwebs]

I see the 3 day rest did Lillard's body good

 

[H.C.]

So is it our gameplan this game to give up the most efficient 3 pointer and hope they can't make the shot?

 

[BonesJones]

Damn this Paul George guy sucks at missing.

 

[DDolla]

It’s alright... we are competing. Win or Lose our team is getting better.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good half for us all things considered. Now switch to Spurs game guys.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Stupid shot by Lillard at the end of the half.

 

[Chris Craig]

Only down 3 at half

 

[blazerfan11]

If mantras Harrell is playing center why aren’t the Blazers running some sets or just one guy go to the hoop?

I think so actually. We're doubling and tripling Kawhi.

 

[Scalma]

Harrell wouldn’t do any of that shit against Noah

 

[wizenheimer]

halftime: Blazers 8 assists on 23 baskets. A 34.7% assisted FG rate isn't optimal offense, even for Portland

 

[riverman]

Good game....best thing tonight...Simons found his shot

 

[Chris Craig]

Paul getting his garage fucked up by Giannis in the state farm commercial lol

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs Rockets tied 3 secs left in OT

 

[blazerfan11]

As I expected attacking the hoop Carmelo Anthony is worth having on the team, mid range jumper shooting Carmelo Anthony doesn’t help so much.

 

[Propagandist]

The Blazers are back, are good, I'm glad...

 

[Chris Craig]

Spurs Rockets tied 3 secs left in OT

Double OT

 

[KingSpeed]

Haha Harden misses easy shot. Double OT!

 

[KingSpeed]

The Blazers are back, are good, I'm glad...

Yep

Cannot be the gameplan. It just cannotbe.

I suspect a lot of Clipper opponents have had this problem based off all the switching they do, but I could be wrong. We certainly help their cause.

It wasn't the game plan the last time we played him straight up and he dropped 20 on us in the 4th. After the game, half the people here were saying "How are we not doubling him every time down?!?". That's what makes the NBA so difficult.

 

[KingSpeed]

It is. And Kawhi is 2/9 so it's kind of working. We'll see if Patterson can keep hitting. Also PG will go cold. I like our chances.

Doubling off the guy who's camping in the corner for 3 is not what people wanted.
That is not what makes the NBA difficult.
In fact thats what makes the NBA easy.
