Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - MARCH 13, 2021 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Hoopguru]

They are going to ket us shoot ad many threes we want.

 

[Tince]

Blazers ball... overturn that!

 

[bobf]

Dame don’t go one on five. Doesn’t work.

 

[B-Roy]

I think the sole reason we are 29 and not 30 on defense is cause of RoCo.

 

[bobf]

Dame time!!

 

[bobf]

Damn it’s a two

 

[B-Roy]

That’s a 2

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I thought it was covid, a concussion and a sprained knee

No. He was definitely healthy and losing minutes to those guys for the time before the playoffs.

 

[bobf]

No that one point is also important.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

What a pass by Melo

 

[DDolla]

Not losing when Melo hits that 18 point mark

 

[Cugel]

Melo with the best pass of the night. His game tonite.

 

[Tince]

I will not slander a guy doing this while making the vet minimum:

Ya but we want him off the team. Remember?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Good win. Let’s do it again tomorrow.

 

[Scalma]

Man Nas needs to bench Hood permanently

Finished with 26 points and 5 assists

 

[Tince]

Is there a team in the league who has more road wins while missing their 2nd and 3rd beset players?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Man Nas needs to bench Hood permanently

We use Hood as a ball handler. Their roles aren’t overlapping.

 

[illmatic99]

shouldn't take this kinda offensive effort to beat this team. our defense is just pitiful.

 

[Scalma]

We use Hood as a ball handler. Their roles aren’t overlapping.

That’s the problem

 

[Chris Craig]

Too close for comfort

 

[James lamphear]

Good point we got 46 from our bench lead by Melo with 26 and we got 25 assist. The bad we got tore up on the boards we gave up 19 offense boards. Dame and Kanter both double double. It was a great win because every game this time is great.

 

[blazerkor]

Well the fact that it wasn't a blowout means that tomorrow won't be a trap game.

 

[Scalma]

I think I’m good with Roco as the backup center over Kanter when Nurk gets back. Kanter is brutal defensively holy fuuuuu

 

[blazerkor]

Too close for comfort

That's a good thing because a W is W and the fact that our team isn't comfortable should mean they're focused tomorrow.

The boards were crazy. Only having 1 guy over 6'7", who also happens to be a massively defensive liability puts us in a tough spot against a team who's playing 6 guys 6'8" or taller.

The Blazers sneak past the Timberwolves behind a huge game from Melo. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will break it all down:

I love Kanter going against other teams second unit when the matchup is right, but like you, it's crazy we have to count on him as our only big.

 

[Scalma]

Another game we don’t win without Melo btw. He’s earning his spot.
