Game Thread GAME# 39: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 16, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00, TNT & NBCSNW

[Jayblaze]

After the game stotts excuse they made more shots

 

[riverman]

Hoodie ...man needed that shot

 

[Tince]

According to our resident expert, assists have no bearing on wins and losses. Neither does coaching. It must be true because he tells us the same hogwash day after day.

That's what the data says, but some people don't believe in data.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Really thinking that it's time to move on from Stotts. The team has no offensive OR defensive gameplan. Simply the brilliance of Dame is the only thing that's been keeping this team's head above water. And that's unfair to him and not a winning formula.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Jones with the brain dead pass to kill momentum.

 

[VenomXL]

These are some dumb fucking passes they’re throwing.

 

[bobf]

Wow that was some amazing patience by the Pelicans. I’m in awe.

 

[julius]

Are we sure this is the Pelicans of this year, and not 2 years when they're winning 60 games?

 

[Strenuus]

Huh? Nobody play with us WITH DAME.

You trade a guy who is loyal to the team you lose the fan base and any players giving us the benefit of treating players well here.

Sorry, I thought you'd actually figure that out on your own. Didnt think I'd have to explain something so simple.

 

[julius]

These are some dumb fucking passes they’re throwing.

That's been an issue all season.

 

[AldoTrapani]

His shooting streak went longer than his current struggles. How do we know the current struggles aren't the aberration?

The report on him isnt a shooter for a reason

 

[Sheldon Shape]

The apologists kept telling us we can't criticize because Stotts doesn't have his second best player. It's the same vomit of a team we had before because we have a coaching problem.

Your doing a him a favor. You obviously work with him to find a better situation for him.

 

[Strenuus]

So myopic.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Stotts at halftime: Orange thing not going through hoop. Make orange thing go through hoop. And stop them from putting orange thing through hoop.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It seems as if Jones can do special stuff, but he has never been integrated into our offense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

How does @Strenuus hate on Zion!? You see how he even passes

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame is a turnover machine latley

 

[julius]

If they want to be in the top half of the league in defense, they must be using a different dictionary than the rest of us. Because "top half" means improving, and clearly this team hasn't improved for shit the bulk of this year.

 

[B-Roy]

It seems as if Jones can do special stuff, but he has never been integrated into our offense.

The motion shit we run for 13 seconds each possession doesn’t suit his play style.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man blazers are fucking garbage I’m sorry

 

[OneSport3]

I am in shock that a team that averages 36% from 3pt on the season is shooting 50% tonight against POR. Truly unbelievable...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We need some fucking size

 

[riverman]

WE KEPT THEM UNDER 70! WE GOT THIS!!

 

[Scalma]

FIRE STOTTS AT HALFTIME

 

[Jayblaze]

Instead of trying to trade for players could we just trade stotts

 

[VenomXL]

Who knew they had a Steph clone on their bench?

 

[julius]

New Orleans: We have the worst 3 point defense in the league

Blazers: Hold my beer

 

[wizenheimer]

well, that 1st half certainly won't propel Portland to the top half of the league in defense

 

[Tince]

We need some fucking size

What's wrong with teams being able to shoot right over poeple, draw double teams, and get the offensive rebounds if they miss?
