Game Thread GAME# 32: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - FEBRUARY 26, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:00, ESPN & NBCSNW

[Scalma]

Somehow terry will blame Nas for that hood foul

 

[DDolla]

I knew it that Shroeder will kill us

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What the fuck are you doing Rodney???

 

[AldoTrapani]

I don't think Dame has taken a shot in this quarter

He’s a warrior. His ankle is fucked and he’s the only one that cares on the team. I wish he could play for a great team

 

[bobf]

Brilliant Hood.

 

[HailBlazers]

First game ive watched all year, refs still suck

 

[VenomXL]

Remember that six game winning streak? That was fun.

 

[Tince]

So if we have trouble dealing with a trap, why the fuck are we running so many high pick n rolls into it?

I agree the PnR aren't working. Neither are the wing ISO sets to Dame where they run a double. Or the flare set we ran with a cutter. Or the post up to Hood.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

High pick and roll isn’t working. Why we not posting Carmelo? This is the type of defense we’ll see and struggle with in playoffs and why it’s so important to have CJ. Gives us three options on players who can get their own shot

 

[DDolla]

Now it will be over when Dame sits

Because most people here hate when we post Melo.

Going to need that 1 in every 8 game amazing run by the 2nd unit.

we have no counters to the aggressive dame traps. literally has four guys shading him on every possession.

Zero respect for the rest of the roster.

What you expect with this new never before seen look

 

[James lamphear]

They got 12 offense rebounds they also got 42 to our 24 points in the paint.

 

[PCmor7]

Yeah. Exactly.

This is just sad to watch. No heart. No idea of how to play.

The Lakers have the biggest star in the league and still share the ball.

Just sad that we don't seem to have an idea of how to put a team around Dame or to coach defense or a modern offense or to get players who understand situational basketball.

 

[B-Roy]

Stotts isn’t fucking around. No Ant

 

[illmatic99]

What do you expect with this new look

how about our offensive genius coach actually encourage his team to pass?

It’s still Aminu’s fault though.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

wth happened? I have the sound off, but Schroder has been on the free throw line for about five minutes.

We posted Melo early in the game, the Lakers worked very hard to give him bad post position, and then doubled him immediately. We then didn’t do a good job of moving the ball quickly to find the open man. So I have no problem trying some Melo posts, but I’m not sure it’d give us any better results. No harm in trying again though.

 

[HailBlazers]

True sarcasm doesn't need green font. Fire Stotts Alrrrready

 

[illmatic99]

running dame into the ground against this aggressive defense is insane.

 

[B-Roy]

Get Melo out of the league

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck Protect his Legacy

 

[Tince]

They got 12 offense rebounds they also got 42 to our 24 points in the paint.

This has been noticable to me as well. Obviously having one guy on the roster over 6'7" doesn't help.

 

[DDolla]

Shroeder will kill us with 30 + points

He is almost there

 

[AldoTrapani]

running dame into the ground against this aggressive defense is insane.

Love the guy but that’s his decision

 

[AldoTrapani]

I been telling this forum for a long time Schroeder is super nice. He’s the exact backup pg we need
