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

Barkley says we have to break it up? We DID break it up. We have an entirely different roster from last year.

 

[KingSpeed]

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 that what makes the NBA easy.

It is what it is dude. I'd rather Patterson prove he can make all his threes than I do Kawhi scoring at the basket over and over.

 

[Chris Craig]

Chuck saying Blazers need to break the team up. Already did Chuck

He is just still butthurt that we drafted Bowie over him. Thought he should have been picked before Jordan

 

[wizenheimer]

Stupid shot by Lillard at the end of the half.

that's on Stotts IMO. He has a fetish for the 2-for-1 to close quarters and he was out there in the coach's box letting Lillard know he had to get a shot up quick.

I'd wonder just how effective 2-for-1 is. I'd rather see one good shot than 2 bad ones

 

[Cugel]

surely the blazers are one of the most loathed teams on TNT. I hate these telecasts.

So easy, any bum could lead Portland to a win over the Clippers. You would prefer playing Kawai straight up? Didnt' the Clippers just score 150 the other night?

Or, it might have something to do with the fact that he WANTED to come here in FA, but we stuck him with a giant tab at dinner and walked out.

Or so I hear.

There are other places to double Leonard off of.

They are. It sucks. Will probably never change

 

[HailBlazers]

Can't wait for CJ to put the defensive clamps on PG13 in their battle at the SG spot.

Did you like CJ picking his pocket in the post?

 

[TBpup]

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

It's Part 2 of the Steph Curry Defense where you game plan to leave him open all game off a screen.

If they shot 22.5% on the 2 for 1 they'd roughly be breaking even. I'd assuming we're above that number.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lakers Nuggets close down the wire too. How do I watch it all????

 

[James lamphear]

What I see gave 4 point on last basket by Harrell on end of quarters this getting bad habit for this team. Some really bad mental laspe living Patterson wide open in the corner. To much iso ball by us and luckily we have been shooting the ball well. The ball stop really bad with CJ and even Dame at times.

 

[TBpup]

I did like it....otherwise George would have even more than 15 points on s7 shots.

Good point. We could double off Paul George lol. Dude. We're good.

 

[Tince]

Stop rage typing and read my posts.

I've read all your posts this thread. Is asking if we should play Kawhi straight up raging? Sorry if I upset you, not my intention.

 

[blazerfan11]

Nice to see Simons finding his way again.

 

[H.C.]

Good point. We could double off Paul George lol. Dude. We're good.

You said Paul George will go cold.
Now you're mocking me?
There are at least two other places to send the help/double off of that don't include the guy on the opposite block nor the guy camping at the most efficient spot to take a 3 pointer from.
If you could actually shoot you'd understand this. Instead you don't therefore I'll type what you type to so many people so often.
If you don't like my posts, put me on ignore Eric.

 

[KingSpeed]

Westbrook shooting 7 of 30 lol

 

[Tince]

Good point. We could double off Paul George lol. Dude. We're good.

Should we single him? No.
Should we leave Lou Williams? No.
Should we leave PG? No.
Should we leave the big under the hoop? No.
Is leaving PP the best of the options? Yes.

I don't really agree that Portland broke up the team. Sure, they had roster turnover, but exchanging the 5th player in the rotation is just rearranging the deck chairs. Breaking up the team might be more along the lines of breaking up the core, and Portland only has 3 players in the core...and one is injured

Never implied we should play him straight up.
I said doubling off of the guy sitting at the corner cannot be the game plan.

Why must I repeat myself if you're reading all my posts?

 

[Almir]

Go Blazers! Worth to watch the match at 4 am in Bosnia.. have some good feeling for Blazers tonight. Just keep it close till the very end and then Lillard over George to score a winning buzzer. Thats what i like

 

[Darkwebs]

Marv needs to retire yesterday

 

[DDolla]

Man the Clippers can just sleep a full half then Just flip a switch and beat you

 

[blazerfan11]

Our offense looks like a well oiled machine to begin the second half. Not.

So the last quarter we did that, he dropped 20 on us. You're ok with that?

If you are implying something, then stating something, you are not repeating yourself.

DeRozen going to the line to win it
