[Jon]

Nba game we have to announce... lets talk about Chris Paul!

How could anyone watching this game, this team, think that offense is the problem? This team misses Zach, Nurk, Aminu, and Harkless like nobody's business.

It’s easy to overlook the value of defense until you don’t have it.

 

[KingSpeed]

You can't win when your top 2 scorers don't show up

Dame has played fantastic pick n roll with Whiteside.

Your right because it obvious how much they cover Dame and CJ defense and this year they don't got that and this game is very obvious.

 

[HailBlazers]

Dame has played fantastic pick n roll with Whiteside.

Dames been garbage tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Going into this game, Whiteside was 8th in the NBA in PER. After tonight’s game, he may be higher.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dames been garbage tonight.

Basketball isn’t all shotmaking.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Whiteside is not the greatest defender, but faults and all, I still think he's been the second or third best player on this team.

We needed Zach badly.

Yeah I think after 20 games playing together, they'd have really gotten used to each other on defense.

 

[DDolla]

When was the last time the Blazers beat a top team in the West?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sigh.

 

[BigGameDamian]

LoL Trent!

 

[VenomXL]

Another Blazers career high in a loss this season. Sick.

 

[James lamphear]

If your not going play D and rebound there going be a lot more of these coming.

 

[B-Roy]

If Stotts is going to stay (and I suspect he is). For the love of fucking god hire someone to run the defense and change the defensive scheme. Seven years and they're doing the same shit on defense.

 

[blazerfan11]

Another Blazers career high in a loss this season. Sick.

What was the career high?

 

[BigGameDamian]

We only had 1 fucking bench scorer in the game.

 

[B-Roy]

What was the career high?

Whiteside scoring.

 

[Strenuus]

What was the career high?

Whiteside in points.

 

[VenomXL]

What was the career high?

Hassan this game and Dame’s 60 against the Nets.

 

[DDolla]

Can we at least beat the SUNS please!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Simons was the only guy who scored any points of the bench.

 

[Chris Craig]

Tired of this shit

 

[Chris Craig]

Can we at least beat the SUNS please!

Doubtful

 

[B-Roy]

More losses, and still no accountability. All the injuries have given Stotts another excuse.

 

[PCmor7]

LoL Trent!

That was like "I don't care."

I'm not an anti-Stotts guy. There are things I disagree with him on, but, in general, I don't think he's terrible. But this team's hustle and body language and the way it's consistently knuckled under at the first tough stretch every game is very concerning to me.

Yeah, I know injuries. I also know this team still is pretty talented and underperforming by A LOT right now.

 

[DDolla]

So to beat the Blazers is just let Whiteside score and guard Dame and CJ

 

[BBert]

I called it at 2:15 that the Blazers weren't going to score again. Sometimes it's not fun being right all the time

 

[Chris Craig]

So to beat the Blazers is just let Whiteside score and guard Dame and CJ

Yep

 

[HailBlazers]

Basketball isn’t all shotmaking.

Exactly.

 

[OneSport3]

The Nuggets were on fire from 3 yet every player went under screens????
