Game Thread Game #35 - BLAZERS VS JAZZ - DECEMBER 29, 2021 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[James lamphear]

Nice little run by us and as bad as we started we are still in the game.

 

[B-Roy]

I don’t understand why we are switching pick and rolls instead of going to drop coverage. Makes no fucking sense to me. Ant and Dame guarding centers…

 

[B-Roy]

I’m questioning if anfernee has a spot in this league. The Jazz have literally not taken a possession not against him since he came into the game.

 

[B-Roy]

Switch every pick and roll. Anfernee might as well go under on everything.

 

[TBpup]

Reggie Perry +7 in 3.5 minutes. Basketball god.

 

[illmatic99]

Whoa. That was a really smooth move by perry

 

[Hoopguru]

Nance needs to become a scoring threat or I would trade him.

 

[riverman]

Elleby has a lot of heart....I like his motor...if he could learn to score at a decent clip he'd be a serviceable bench player

 

[James lamphear]

Defensely terrible but we are shooting 62 percent from the 3 that keeping us in the game.

 

[OneSport3]

The 10 day guys play better defense than the regular roster guys…

 

[VenomXL]

Is holding them under 40 in the first a moral victory?

 

[riverman]

Perry seems solid so far

 

[riverman]

Norm is playing well

 

[twobullz]

Starting front court gave the Blazers 1 point in the first quarter.

 

[B-Roy]

I legit don’t understand giving up the switch on anfernee every pick and roll. Legit stupid.

 

[James lamphear]

Powell already got 18 but the rest is not involved in the offense.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is some bullshit officiating. Utah keeps grabbing their faces and these refs keep falling for it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I legit don’t understand giving up the switch on anfernee every pick and roll. Legit stupid.

The Utah announcers are impressed and amazed that we are sticking with it.

 

[James lamphear]

Utah got in the bonus at the 10:13 mark in this quarter.

 

[riverman]

Nance is not the 3 pt shot clock pressure guy...they gotta put that up

 

[riverman]

ELLEBY!!!!!!!!!1

 

[B-Roy]

Nance HAS to shoot. His unwillingness is clogging the offense because everyone else can’t score either.

 

[B-Roy]

The Utah announcers are impressed and amazed that we are sticking with it.

They are giving it up with no resistance. The slightest brush of a screen and ant switches. This has to be by design, which is just nuts because we did this under Stotts as well and it never works. The other team just attacks it to all hell.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Simons has been awful the last three games and we’ve needed him to score.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Can they keep it under 20 at the half?

 

[Tince]

Everyone want fair value if we dealt Dame but hate tell you hardly ever get true value trading a star player so what need is quality value for your star player. But I don't think Dame is on any trading block though.

Agreed... so why make the trade? From an on court or business perspective, I'm not sure how this organization is better with Dame in another uniform.

 

[OneSport3]

From Stotts to now Billups, I just don’t understand the game plan with Ant. Do they just tell him to go in there and just jack up shots at will? I’ve been a pro Ant guy, but it’s getting hard to watch.

 

[Blazinaway]

Simons has been awful the last three games and we’ve needed him to score.

he started off the year so well and now he's really regressed

 

[James lamphear]

Little had 20 last game and 0 shots attempts this game is there something wrong with this pic.

 

[VenomXL]

Dame has missed a lot of free throws this season.
