Game Thread GAME# 35: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - JANUARY 1, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 4:30 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[TBpup]

That defense right there looks like they have checked out. Put in the rookies and at least let them get some time to grow.

Anyone who thinks this team doesn't need all the talent they can get via the Lottery, we will just have to agree to disagree.

Holy shit! A couple we’re going at it during the kiss cam. Full on making out, lots of tongue, didn’t even come up for air, kept going for the whole kiss cam, even when it wasn’t on them.

Isn't that the way it should be?

 

[kjironman1]

Bad matchup

 

[oldmangrouch]

This is a horror show. The worst part of it is, the organization still appears to be thinking game-to-game instead of trying to improve for the future.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jody, please fire our coach... Please... I'm begging you...

It wont help. They need to scrap about 2/3rds of the roster too.

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

Fire Stotts, trade CJ and get ready for next season.

 

[kjironman1]

Red Jerseys on the road. Bad very Bad!

 

[wizenheimer]

Knicks are second to last too

ok, but 28-16 assist advantage for Knicks so far

 

[Tince]

Go Ducks!!!

 

[Five Second Violation]

Stotts and Olshey both should make New Year's Resolutions to get new jobs.

 

[bobf]

Now that it’s garbage time Little is allowed to take stupid shots cuz it doesn’t matter. So we foster bad habits. Play all the young guys when it counts.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ya boy Lillard about to get his first triple double

 

[TBpup]

Oh my, now Hurd talking about how tough the Knicks division is....like they would be a 20 win team in another divison.

I hope the team had some fun last night. Did Melo take them out on the town?

 

[PCmor7]

Last time I saw a Blazer team that played like dogs like this it was the Felton season.

This team's done. I think the only question now is whether they fire Stotts after this game or wait until the end of the road trip. I'll be shocked if he's coaching the Blazers by the end of January.

They party with all their families

Our announcers are setting us up for our next loss in Washington.

 

[TBpup]

Can we offer Vanterpool the head job and have him come back?

 

[VenomXL]

Happy New Year I guess. So glad I’m not watching.

I'll be shocked if he isn't coaching them next year.

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

$147 mil payroll, highest in NBA by a distance, and Neil thinks fans are stupid and wants us to believe it’s ok to get blown out by 30 to Knicks because Collins and Hood are out... absolutely no accountability again.

Prepare to be shocked!

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah Stotts is safe. Ya'll know he is not gonna get fired

 

[TBpup]

An actual lob....and it takes Simons/Moses to do it.

Take that NY!

 

[calvin natt]

It’s definitely spiraling. Don’t see them firing Stotts but who knows. Turn it over to Tibetts for the year and see what he can do.

We foster bad habits when our best players are in the game. It's no different when all the kids are on the floor together.

 

[Darkwebs]

This is the perfect game for Blazers fans who got drunk last night.
Because this is such a sobering loss.

 

[PCmor7]

It’s definitely spiraling. Don’t see them firing Stotts but who knows. Turn it over to Tibetts for the year and see what he can do.

Heck, I'd be inclined to turn it over to Brooke Olzendam. I haven't seen much of anything from this staff as a whole.

 

[wizenheimer]

it was a game like this that got Nate fired

generally, I've been ambivalent about Stotts but, IMO, it's time to fire his ass

and if Dame doesn't like it, or the thought of CJ being traded, then I'm thru worrying about the Blazers wasting Dame's prime. Portland needs an overhaul, and the way they are playing isn't all about injuries. Bad habits and trends that haven't been shut down by the GM or the coach, and that's their fucking jobs

 

[Labinot41]

Just wait until we play the good teams. This gonna be brutal
