Game Thread Game #23 - BLAZERS VS SPURS - DECEMBER 2, 2021 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS, NBATV

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck ya. Let’s keep losing. We need that draft pick

 

[illmatic99]

that was unacceptable, on any level. didn't even compete.

 

[Chris Craig]

I have a very hard time believing that Robert Covington is one of the 400 best basketball players in the world.

On any other team beside the Blazers sure

 

[3putt]

Elleby is a clown.

I think they keep him around because he does not take salary just playing for the free travel, meals, and clothes.

 

[B-Roy]

Complete and utter apathy about this team.

 

[Tince]

On the bright side: We blitz and show on screens by far more than any team in the league. That was the main thing keeping us from being a contender in previous years, right?

Scheme. Don't you know anything?

 

[DDolla]

Glad I did not watch this garbage

 

[Tince]

Scheme. Don't you know anything?

My bad, you're right!

Oh and I forgot our other huge problem last year: Assists. Our assists are way up this year and our offensive production is so much better!... A little better?... Wait, it's worse? I'm shocked that wasn't the problem!

 

[hoopsjock]

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
The Blazers with an absolutely miserable performance leading to their home winning streak being snapped by a butt kicking at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. Come vent about the game!

 

[blazerkor]

This team needs a huge shakeup. I hope I'm reading the situation wrong and that Olshey is on his way out the door. Can't stand having him running this team anymore.

Cause it worked so well last time we picked a big man from Gonzaga

It was the coaching last year my man. You gotta go back a read a bit. Scheme implemented by the coach. Simple. A bunch of posters on here said so.

 

[Scalma]

yeah that should definitely stop them from getting a generational talent.

Ok ok, stop being so hard on me, I screwed up!

 

[Chris Craig]

He will just break his foot or knee and never play

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nurk should have had a field day against the Spurs. They had absolutely nobody that could guard him if he would play tough.

 

[wizenheimer]

Poeltl is no pushover

 

[MickZagger]

When I was watching the game there was not many fans in the stands

 

[MickZagger]

Nurk should have had a field day against the Spurs. They had absolutely nobody that could guard him if he would play tough.

Poeltl is one of the better defensive centers

 

[Tince]

Billups is doing exactly what he was hired to do: Be more aggressive in the PnR, get more asissts, and try and hold these guys accountable. Too bad those things weren't really the main issues.

 

[LayneStaley]

Blow it up, even at peak play we aren’t winning a chip with this squad. I get bashed for disliking Nurk but I do, CJ shoulda been gone years ago, why the fuck is RoCo worth 2 1s, did we lose the Trent trade? So many questions and NO ONE in this franchise sparks any sort of hope in my view. Blow it up. Sick of acting like a decent Reg season or first round win is enough, it’s not, we are going on 50 fucking years.

 

[noknobs]

To those who watched, how bad was Anfernee's sprain?

 

[blazerkor]

To those who watched, how bad was Anfernee's sprain?

He rolled the ankle off of an opponents foot. The front outside of his foot took all of his weight. The thing was that he had been limping around a little the previous couple of plays. When I saw the injury I thought it could be anywhere from him running it off to something significant. So I'm sure that's no help to you.

 

[FlashWad]

Same old story. I wonder when we will see real change.

 

[Shaboid]

That was not a fun game to attend. Straight up. I'm disappointed. I don't think the organization really cares about my opinion, but at least I can make it known here I guess.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

32 minutes, 18 shots, 16 points. This our second best player? This is the untouchable CJ?

I am done with Olshit. I am done with CJ. I am done with players who suffer convenient injuries when the team desperately needs them to step up. I am done with Billups and his BS about how players will be held accountable. I can no longer root for this team.

Where are the folks who kept saying CJ was basically an all-star talent? Previous coach was holding him back? His skills duplicate Dame's?

Not an all-star, he's no better with a new coach, and I wish he would duplicate what Dame does!
