Game Thread GAME# 24: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 11, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, TNT

Why is Blevins on the team?

Because he is older than 19?

Ahhhhhh ......

Steve Javie against the Bullets I believe....

If it's Steve Javie as the ref, then it's not against the Bullets. Because he wasn't the ref in the games that the Blazers played @ the Bullets in 93-4 or 94-5, or 92-3, or 95-6.

Miller is fucking terrible. His "uh huh" and "um hmm" annoy the hell out of me. I'm warming up to Hurd. He's sharp.

Hurd won’t be in this market long that’s how good he is. Enjoy him while u can

 

[AldoTrapani]

The dude is a scrapper. Sounds cliche', but does all the little things. Shit isn't going to show up on on the box. I actually don't expect ANY offense from him whatsoever. Everything on that end is gravy.

Mehh you basically just described Aminu

 

[julius]

Mornings are much nicer to wake up after the Blazers win.

 

[kjironman1]

Mehh you basically just described Aminu

I absolutely cannot believe exactly how bad your takes are? Is there anyway you just stumble on to them? How?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk at his peak is significantly better. But Kanter is just there for you every night doing Kanter things. Never really injured, never really playing any worse or better than who he is.

Nurk is a German Panzer while Kanter is the Sherman tank. You pick the Panzer any day if it's actually available and not broken down, but you just know there will be plenty of Sherman on any given night.

Nurk is way too inconsistent playing wise and definitely health wise. You can start Nurk if you want just to satisfy he’s fragile ego but Kanter is better and should play more than him.

Nurk dreams of the offensive post moves Kanter is good at. Give me Kanter over Nurk any day..

Terrible shooting for Dame after he started hot. Thanks to genius stotts. Still 30 and 7 for Dame

Stotts did fine actually. Called timeouts when they were needed, tore the refs a new asshole when they were screwing the Blazers over, subbed players in with pretty good timing.

Dame missed wide open shots. He got cold after a hot 1st quarter. If your blaming Stotts schemes not getting Dame open, or coming with screens, Dame was getting help on screens all night. Again he missed wide open shots and forced a few up that he made shouldn't have. He did hit a bit bucket though late, not to mention the game winning free throws.

It can be argued that Dames going cold might have well cost us the game if Melo hadn't gone supernova, but hey Blazers won. I'm not complaining.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Melo shooting by quarters this season:

1st: 2.7 points on 36%
2nd: 3.7 points on 36.7%
3rd: 2.3 points on 38.3%
4th: 4.5 points on 44.7%

 

[wizenheimer]

And I don't want to hear about we gave up 2 picks for him. Neither of those would be helping us win games in the next 2 years. You think Dame gives a fuck about those 2 picks. He wants warriors around him, not 19 year olds learning the game. We don't have time for that shit, and neither does. he.

that's kind of true

at the same time, Immanuel Quickley, Payton Pritchard, Desmond Bane, and Saddiq Bey were all drafted after the pick Portland gave Houston last draft, and they sure look like players who could help Dame right now and for the next 3 years while on cheap rookie deals

the acquisition cost of RoCo doesn't change just because he made a timely steal last night

 

[Hoopguru]

Eventually Rodney Hood should be starting at 3 and bring Jones off the bench. Much better shooter than Jones and defense is close. Hood is 6'8' too.

his takes are bad, but that one, based upon the description in another post, was pretty close. Aminu, for Portland, was a lot like RoCo has been so far, especially on defense. Aminu might have been a more dependable perimeter shooter; and he was a better rebounder

 

[Hoopguru]

Forgot about him, thing about Hood he can come up huge in games like he did against Denver a few years back.
Jones at 6'5 is small as a 3 plus he's rail thin. Last night he was swatted away very easily around the hoop.

Yeah, but he hasn't been close to that denver series this year except for like 1 or 2 games. I'm not even sure I want him in the rotation at this point

The man is coming off huge injury. He's getting there, wait and see. Jones has been more of a disappointment to me thus far.

if you use Matthews as a template, Hood is going to have a ragged season. And the Matthews template is pretty common for that injury. Most players are never the same as before

Yeah, he may never be a 100% but he's moved pretty good so far, seems to have good lift and drive ability.
Gay, Wall, KD, Boogie aren't doing to bad now.

 

[Duckhook]

I didn't have the time to go back through the previous 36 pages, but one thing I noticed from last night's game is how helpless Lillard made Simmons look on defense. For as vaunted a defender as Simmons has been crowned, Lillard continually drove past Simmons easily and continually. Simmons was good at denying the ball to Lillard and made him work to get it, but once Lillard had it he was cooked. If I'm repeating info previously in this thread I apologize, but don't color me impressed of Simmon's D.

Disagree.

Aminu had his shot. Didn't cut it. Was time to move on.

Your right on about Dame schooling Simmons the 1st quarter he made him look like a fool. Yes simmons made some good defense plays but he not the defender he thinks he is.

 

[Serbian]

Bro, you GOTTA' explain this post, I'm begging you. Dame shoots like shit tonight and you are blaming Terry Stotts? You just can't make this kinda' shit up FAMS.

Yes. Because after 1st quater he sat Dame down all the way until below 4 min of 2nd quaters. Stotts needs to bench dame last 2 minutes of 1st quater and have him back inside 8 minutes in second quarter. Dame went cold cause he got cold sitting on bench for long time . Remember there was 3 time outs during 2nd quater so essentially Dame sat out 20 minutes

Yeah but Dame was hot in the first quarter so if Terry took him out when he had it going he would have been crucified for it.
Dame was holding his wrist while on the bench in the 4th...... which makes me a little worried. Bottom line though he played like shit when he came back in. He forced some bad shots trying to take over. It wasn't his night. ( We could have used his duplication-CJ)

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Looking at +/-, this was totally a Bench win... which is really weird.

and by bench you mean Melo and that is even weirder, at this point of his spectacular career.
