Game Thread GAME# 38: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - MARCH 14, 2021 - SUNDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

against weak defensive teams like minnesota, we move the ball around, those open shots are gonna be available all the damn time. and this time, would get us into a rhythm or to the foul line. i can't stand terry's philosophy on this. we miss open shots... the rationale is always, keep shooting, they'll go in eventually. Rather than do something to get yourself in a better position to make shots now.

came back to bite us in the ass again

 

[Tince]

@Tince still think this is rational?

this was such a predictable outcome

I 100% stand by large bodies of work are a better predictor of future outcomes than 6 minutes of basketball. I don't call this a championship team after we beat the Lakers in one regular season game either. No need to overreact.

Splitting a road back-to-back down your #2 and #3 players is predictable. That's why I took the Wolves on the ML prior to the game.

Playoffs are going to be ugly. I think we get swept pretty easily

If we make it. Games like this are going to haunt us

 

[AldoTrapani]

Btw Nassir Little is a fluke shooter. He’s back to reality

 

[James lamphear]

in order to pass to an "open" man...there has to be an open man. Can't get open when just standing and watching the double. You can't go by the view of the camera. You have to look at it from Lillard's pov and his teammates suck at getting open

We your both right yes someone should move to open spot for release valve but Dame has a habit dribble into the double team and when your 6'2 it's pretty hard to see players taller then you to pass it. So part of this is Dame doing.

 

[bobf]

No more room for error.

 

[AldoTrapani]

If we make it. Games like this are going to haunt us

I hope we don’t. We need a completely new direction and that will steer the ship that way

 

[VenomXL]

What’s Edwards’ career high?

 

[AldoTrapani]

God I can’t wait to lottery hunt and find guys like Edward’s

 

[TBpup]

OMG....Edwards just facialed the entire Blazers line-up.

 

[AldoTrapani]

What’s Edwards’ career high?

He’s fucking sick love his game

 

[bobf]

We’re play like the worst player in the NBA down the stretch.

 

[VenomXL]

Nice flop Gary lol.

 

[Tince]

Trent might get warned/fined for that flop.

 

[VenomXL]

There it is. Career high. Surprise surprise.

 

[TBpup]

What’s Edwards’ career high?

Whatever he ends up with against the Blazers tonight.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow edward’s is the real deal

 

[AldoTrapani]

There it is. Career high. Surprise surprise.

Dude he’s the real deal

 

[AldoTrapani]

Edward’s laughing at the blazers

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow edward’s is the real deal

He’s the number one pick. I sincerely hope he’s the real deal. If you’re drafting someone at 1 who isn’t the real deal, you wasted the fucking pick.

 

[Tince]

Not optimistic we'll be getting a string of stops, but if we can, we're still in this!

 

[VenomXL]

What kind of dumbass foul was that Dame?

 

[Tince]

Dame's lack of blockout was not due to the double team, it was just him not blocking out. Then he fouls again.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m seriously confused what Rodney provides right now.

 

[Darkwebs]

I’m seriously confused what Rodney provides right now.

An easy target for the opposing team

 

[Tince]

Was KAT's undercut before RoCo's elbow to KAT's face?

 

[illmatic99]

that call is going the other way

 

[B-Roy]

Are they seriously going to overturn this?

 

[Natebishop3]

I’m seriously confused what Rodney provides right now.

Literally nothing.

I would rather play DJJ because at least he can defend.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Minnesota guy thinks Towns fouls first.
