Game Thread GAME# 30: BLAZERS @ SUNS - FEBRUARY 22, 2021 - MONDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

Trent settles for a hideous shot.

 

[julius]

just trading baskets with the suns it seems.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I know I asked you this a year ago, Aldo, but how does that work when you're out to dinner with your girlfriend and you keep commenting on how hot the girl at the next table is?

Haha

 

[Hoopguru]

Starting SG match up not going well.
Booker 22
Trent 6
In the first half.

Booker is one of the better guards 2 guards in the west. He's still super young and his trajectory has been impressive much like Dames was and is.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Offensively we can hang with the Suns but unfortunately our defense is way to trash to make it interesting

 

[BigGameDamian]

What is Trent doing?

 

[Tince]

he’s not any better here than anywhere else he’s been.

Could be true. Olshey wants us to win a championship starting guys who get buried elsewhere.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Gary is having a ROUGH night.

 

[bobf]

Trent learning from Melo.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It's that chicken or egg thing. Did Melo go iso every time first and so players began slacking off once he got the ball or did they stop moving and deferring to him first so he had nobody to pass to?

Other point: I saw we were last n the league at defending corner threes. Continues tonight. Could we set a record for most opponent's corner threes made in a season?

BTW, I consider both these to be coaching issues.

 

[julius]

This game is getting close to me changing the channel.

 

[illmatic99]

neil not signing another big is just criminal.

 

[illmatic99]

This game is getting close to me changing the channel.

why? we're within striking distance

 

[twobullz]

Starting SG match up not going well.
Booker 22
Trent 6
In the first half.

What were the numbers between Dame and CP3? I guess Phoenix fans could say the same about the pg position.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yea like I said I like Trent he’s a really good player but he’s nowhere near the caliber player Cj is. Give me Cj long term easily

 

[Tince]

This game is getting close to me changing the channel.

Don't turn it to the Oregon game, unless you're a USC fan.

 

[bobf]

He's unplayable every where but here; we manage to get something productive out of Kanter.

Maybe our defense is so bad to begin with that Kanter doesn’t matter.

 

[illmatic99]

Maybe our defense is so bad to begin with that Kanter doesn’t matter.

no he fucking sucks on that end. almost every action they're running is to attack enes.

 

[julius]

why? we're within striking distance

Their defense is useless tonight. They're just trading baskets, and no one besides Dame and Jones is having a good game, and Jones isn't someone you can depend on for creating his own shot/carrying the team.

 

[Tince]

Maybe our defense is so bad to begin with that Kanter doesn’t matter.

Could be!

 

[illmatic99]

dude gary. feel free to pass the ball to open teammates.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Atleast Cj can manufacture points and run a team single handily if need be. Can Trent do that? Hell no. Trent is a really good player but he needs a great point guard to set him up and play off.. and his defense is nowhere ppl think it is

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are in this game if GTJ was giving us anything.

 

[VenomXL]

Bleh. Not feeling this one. Too sloppy.

 

[illmatic99]

We are in this game if GTJ was giving us anything.

i will maintain that we can afford to let him walk this summer. brings us nothing if his shot isn't falling. completely unimpactful defense. and is a ballstopper

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I just don't see many signs of life

 

[AldoTrapani]

Phx is basically who blazers dream of playing like

 

[AldoTrapani]

Melo gtfoh Lolol

be a fucking catch and shoot player and be happy fuck

 

[DDolla]

Time to change the channel... Dame will sit soon and this is over

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is why you can’t lose at home to awful Washington.
