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

[B-Roy]

lonzo has more assists than our whole team

We have turned it over every time we’ve tried moving the ball today.

 

[Tince]

You keep telling yourself that.Iso ball and no coach on the sideline sure sounds like a recipe for a championship, don’t you think? That’s what your data is telling you right?

I'll repeat again, these are not my opinions, but the data says there is no correlation between passing & wins or potential assisted attempts & wins. There is a correlation between defensive rating and wins, so I think I would bang that drum way louder than passing.

Do you think this team has a champioship roster if they had an above average coach?

We have turned it over every time we’ve tried moving the ball today.

Do not say that... more passes = wins!

 

[MadeFromDust]

Writing's on the wall for ole Terry. For them to come out and respond to his defensive challenge like this is telling.

 

[TBpup]

made the playoffs every year babyyyyyy

Which over half of the league does. That is not really a big deal. Now with the play-in format, 2/3rds of the teams in the league will be in the Playoff. (Yawn)

you want us to go even more iso?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Zion is amazing

Its not even funny

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Was that not open court?

 

[illmatic99]

thats clearpath!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Do you guys see how easy Zion floats to the rim for a guy his size

 

[B-Roy]

you want us to go even more iso?

Just saying. Nothing is working today

 

[B-Roy]

We are also getting destroyed on the boards

 

[Labinot41]

Lonzo Ball has a new career high with 16 assists.

Portland has 13 assists.

 

[Cugel]

30 assists for the pels. Still a quarter to go.

 

[BlazerBeav]

There is literally nothing to like about any facet of this game. Just bad everywhere.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

thats clearpath!

Ya that’s what I meant to say

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts playing Hood over Simons?

 

[B-Roy]

Nas successfully guarded two players that possession. We need more plays like that. More guys that can make those sort of plays.

 

[DDolla]

Guys we have Dame, we will win this game

 

[PCmor7]

Never wear these jerseys again. They are as gray and lifeless as the Blazers effort

Exactly. Why the heck look like the Spurs with the lifeless jerseys?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So either save us Dame or we lose..again

 

[TBpup]

Pels looks after ball movement....wide open.
Blazers looks after standing around going Iso.....contested step-back '3'.

 

[PCmor7]

Stotts playing Hood over Simons?

Senseless.

 

[B-Roy]

We have more turnovers than assists, allowed 8 offensive rebounds. Just can’t expect to win like this.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is Simons injured?

 

[James lamphear]

We are also getting destroyed on the boards

Lately that's every game.

 

[TBpup]

Exactly. Why the heck look like the Spurs with the lifeless jerseys?

Apathetic, cloudy gray. Ugh! Between that and the sh!t brown, I'm not buying any new gear anytime soon.

 

[PCmor7]

Pels looks after ball movement....wide open.
Blazers looks after standing around going Iso.....contested step-back '3'.

We had a good opportunity for ball reversal at one point in the middle of the quarter. But Melo was the reserve man up top ... needless to say the ball just stayed their for 5 seconds while the Pels got to set their defense.

 

[B-Roy]

17 to 0 second chance points. Holy shit.

Looking back at the Anthony Davis trade. Pelicans got Ball, Ingram, Hart, Jaxson Hayes, Alexander -Walker, and still have Lakers 2021 and 2024 first round picks. Just random research because the game is sometimes painful to watch.
