Game Thread GAME# 23: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 9, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[julius]

Here's something unexpected:

Trent has 6 assists.

 

[Serbian]

Enes getting owned by Vuch. Just total mismatch

 

[Tince]

where were you when he had 9 points on 10 shots?

Right here not making a big deal out of a small sample size.

 

[illmatic99]

I really don't give a shit about how well Melo is shooting...I just hate that Blazer broadcasts of games have, in part, turned into testimonials for carmelo anthony

not just the broadcasts. the whole team/coaching staff/front office is in on it. for what.... i don't know. WTF do we owe melo? he didn't play here in his prime, and shunned us at nearly every opportunity earlier in his career.

hope you enjoyed his chuckfest

I'm not a huge Melo guy, but amazed that people are freaking out over him being a volume shooter with 19 points on 13 attempts, yet loving on GTJ for 15 points on 17 attempts (3 of those coming on a bank).

I look at quality of shot not whether the shot happens to go in in that last handful of attempts. I’m not ok with some of Gary’s shots but at the same time he’s learning to do things besides just shooting threes.

That's one reason i don't listen to then anymore.

Not a huge fan of his or any of our forwards. If we were playing him over Giannis and PG13 I'd be up in arms though.

I think that's totally reasonable. I didn't mean this to bash on Trent, just commenting that he gets a major pass for some unknown reason while others on the team are public enemy #1 after every mistake.

cj elleby should be playing over melo right now.

 

[Tince]

That's in line with your bench Dame & Melo takes for sure.

 

[James lamphear]

Our starting front line has 29 rebounds Covington 10 Kanter 10 Jones 9 that's pretty good.

 

[illmatic99]

i didn't say bench dame.

i said rest him. And not play him 40 mins at the end of a road trip when he's clearly hurt.

there's a difference, but i wouldn't expect you to understand basic common sense.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Melo kept them at bay here in the fourth. He’s had awful games, but he’s been good today. Also has 2 steals and a block.

Still stand by that desire? He looks alright to me, despite your pre game and in game medical diagnosis.

I like his 31 points.

damian is shooting 7 for 20 and looks like he's wincing everytime he's going inside. he should not be playing when he's hurt.

 

[Tince]

dame is ice cold. dude, would you please sit out. doesn't have the same lift on his shots and is moving in a very calculated way

34 points and counting...

 

[BlazerBeav]

Weird game, but got the win.

I make no bones about it. I don’t want Melo on the team. But I’ll shut up for the rest of today. It’s his night.

 

[Tince]

That's perfectly acceptable! He'll have more bad nights than good ones, but he was good tonight so I'll tip my cap as well.

 

[illmatic99]

34 points and counting...

ya dame is awesome. who said he isn't? you keep missing the point.

it's not that he's scoring. it's that he shouldn't risk further injury. most people understand this.

 

[bobf]

Yeah. Lol not much left to the rest of today... I got behind on the dvr again

You risk injury every game you play. What info do you have that him playing tonight is an extreme risk to injury? He's been dealing with this for multiple seasons, it's not going away.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We can’t afford to lose games like this right now, so Dame is playing.

 

[Tince]

Aminu looking at our starting forwards thinking "You got rid for me for this? I can do that!"

 

[bobf]

Damnant he can’t finsh

No brainer.

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH! Take care of business at home! Congrats to Melo passing Oscar!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Zach Collins was just slapping guys on the ass.

Yeah so far Aminu was way better than DJJ and probably better than RoCo. Most underrated Blazer ever.
