Game Thread GAME# 23: BLAZERS @ SPURS - DECEMBER 2, 2018 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

[H.C.]

Aldridge is a power forward. Nobody anywhere thinks he would fix perimeter defense.

P&R and perimeter defense is where we're getting killed since the hot start.
Aldridge wouldn't help at all in this, therefore regardless of his 'solid defense tonight' wouldn't help the Blazers defensively.

 

[LuckyShot]

Theyre shooting 63% for the game and 70% from 3? You gotta be fucking kidding me

They haven't taken many 3s though either. They are simply getting whatever they want and we never adapt and take anything away from anybody. We just hope they miss and the rebounds bounce our way.

 

[Scalma]

Lmaoooooo Aminu. Yep, if i'm Dame, this would be my last Season in Portland.

Not everyone shares a cowards mentality.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Didn't specifically say you, did I? Funnily, you know you deserve it.

Hey man, I really do respect your passion and knowledge on Blazers... I wish I could be as optimistic... but it’s time for change... either CJ traded or Stotts gone... hopefully both

 

[LuckyShot]

That was such a piss poor, half hearted, brain dead attempt at a double by Harkless.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

If the refs would ease up a little we could potentially lose this game by ten.

 

[ripcityboy]

Hurd would you stop DEFENDING REFS CALLS. !$#@@!#@!#@!! DO YOU KNOW HOW FING PATHETIC THAT IS!!!

 

[VenomXL]

See you guys for the next shitshow.

 

[riverman]

Stick a fork in it! We got grilled!

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers are fucked

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think what's most annoying for me is we always look like we work our asses off just for Dame or CJ to take a shitty shot, and on the other end they are so slow and relaxed and get wide open shots that are right in their wheelhouse.

that's what I see a lot; we seem to have to work so hard for our baskets that I start thinking we deserve to win.

And how do you know that Dame DOESN'T want out in FA? Would YOU resign a supermax to this garbage?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Only gave up 131, not bad.

 

[H.C.]

Spurs
131 points.
11-15 from three
60% from the field.
@kjironman1

Aldridge wouldn't help with this.

Portland
118 points.
12-29 from three
52% from the field

Doesn't look like Portland struggled offensively.

 

[B-Roy]

Completely and utterly broken is this team.

And the sad thing is, even if Olshey opened his eyes and wanted to make any changes he can't do so until the ownership situation is sorted out.

So he plays good pick and roll defense for the spurs but wouldn’t for the Blazers? Is that what you are saying? Because the pick an roll is used by every team in the league? Anyway not really my point at all. The Blazers went on two huge scoreless runs where the Spurs won this game. When Aldridge played for the Blazers that was when they would throw it to the big guy and let him come away with a basket. You can talk about pick n roll and perimeter defense all you want but this game is about scoring the ball. When you give up multiple 19-2 scoring runs you lose games.

 

[Darkwebs]

Trail Blazers defense: We will solve all your offensive problems!

 

[illmatic99]

what defense

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers will keep losing until stotts is fired

I mean look scalma, it's not that i wish Dame should leave, he is my favourite Player and the trail Blazers are my favourite team, but he will never win a Championship with this Team, Never ever. A Lillard/McCollum backcourt is good enough for regular Season but won't make any damage in the Playoffs. If you are Happy with that, fine that's your view. But i'm tired of this Team outside of Lillard, i'm ready for a Full Rebuild with the new ownership, new Front Office and new coaching staff, i can't watch this mediocre shit anymore

 

[Almir]

This team need at least one game changer to play with Lillard. Position 2, 3 or 4. unfortunatelly this is not enough.

Hope i am wrong and that they will get theirselves together and play some good basketball in Decembre, very tough matches are coming. Do not stop believe until math say that. We can play good, no doubt, even with this team, need some self confidence..

He won't. It's a sad truth. Another sad truth. We will keep watching and cheering and hoping. One day he will be gone and the next "era" will begin. And, it will be the same shit

He’s not winning a championship anywhere else either, unless he ends up on golden state. Your logic is dumb.

You do realize Aldridge made a number of those shots? Wow?

 

[julius]

I'm tempted to not care about the season as long as they keep playing like this.

 

[James lamphear]

Only way your going to see change if we continue to loose. The way we are playing defense you just might get yours wish.

This has to be the fucking post of the year? Aldridge was playing AGAINST the Blazers.

 

[Gronk Brady]

The worst part is there is no element of surprise... it’s the exact same team for 3 years now... it’s not fun anymore

 

[Chris Craig]

He has a far better chance to win elsewhere...LA, Milwaukee, Boston, Totonto, etc than here. He has 0% chance of winning a trophy here. He never will

 

[Scalma]

No, he has the same odds there. Nobody is beating golden state four times.
