Game Thread GAME# 35: BLAZERS @ SPURS - DECEMBER 30, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[DUB]

Ed Davis has turned into an awful defender. We need to trade him asap.

I wonder if it's because he's having to guard 4's instead of 5's?

 

[BonesJones]

We rotate from the wrong side covering the roll man when we blitz.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Terrible call on Aminu

 

[TBpup]

The Blazers had played such good defense for 10+ quarters in a row but Stotts couldn't help himself. For the first time in that stretch, he went to 2 small guards with CJ and Napier at the same time. Immediately the Spurs took off, got momentum and now they are up 13.

He's jumping at every pump fake and committing stupid fouls.

 

[EGame]

Poppovich takes such good timeouts imo.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well one good half on the road. More than I expected.

 

[Five Second Violation]

CJ needs to shoot every possession.

He needs to do what Isaiah Thomas did tonight for us to have a chance.

 

[riverman]

We get within 11 and Pop calls a timeout..

 

[Darkwebs]

Meyers must be rubbing off on him.

The problem was we were blitzing too slow to take away easy outlet passes and then covering the roll man with help defense from the ball side instead of the weak side.

That's the problem right now. We need to work on it some more.

 

[BonesJones]

Turner with shitty defense

 

[riverman]

On a positive note..Lamarcus 6/5 and 3 turnovers...

 

[EGame]

good game.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Shit.

 

[riverman]

ouch...that hurt..Simmons is killin it

 

[e_blazer]

Seems like Blazer Broadcasting is always showing the wrong replay this year. I wanted to see the hack on Turner and they're showing Green splashing a three.

 

[BonesJones]

Turner and Crabbe just don't cut it when compared to Simmons and Green.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm out

 

[Strenuus]

If you want a good tagline for this team for both the optimist and the pessimist fans, it has to be:

"Just wait."

 

[EGame]

I'm out

Bye Felicia!

I noticed that'd when things really started falling apart too.

 

[Strenuus]

At some point it's just comical.

 

[BBert]

Happy all in all with the first half....see if they can compete for a whole game tonight!

Nope

 

[EGame]

epic comeback incoming

 

[EGame]

the comeback is dead.

 

[Nikolokolus]

At some point it's just comical.

 

[riverman]

whelp.....that went down the drain quickly

 

[KingSpeed]

Pelicans tied with us in standings.

 

[EGame]

Pelicans tied with us in standings.

cant you at least pretend we can still win?
