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

[PCmor7]

We can’t get a single fucking stop. Not even one

Layup and 3-point drill.

I'd fire Stotts after this game. I wouldn't even care what Dame said. I've seen enough of this same old mediocrity. But I don't make those calls.

This team gets blown out too much for a playoff level team. No way it competes in the playoffs. So what's the point? Go to the playoffs, lose the draft pick we threw out the window for RoCo. Come back next year with the same squad a year older. What's there to look forward to? Same old Blazers.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

They have 14 more shot attempts

 

[Serbian]

Every 3 wide open. I hate stotts with passion

 

[chris_in_pdx]

The Blazers are a broken team. Fundamentally broken.

 

[Scalma]

We desperately need a rim protector it would drastically improve our defense

 

[Chris Craig]

CJ coming back made the Blazers worse

The Blazers are a broken team. Fundamentally broken.

not really. we just have an idiot coach who doesn't know how to teach defense or adapt his offense.

 

[Serbian]

No rim protection no resistance they score so easy stotts you cunt get fuked

 

[illmatic99]

the sets we run on offense are the same ones we've been running since 2016

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Ok cool so they just don’t miss from 3

 

[AldoTrapani]

What was the report on Lonzo Ball? Now look at him. He put in work. So has Nassir.

Lonzo always been known as a shooter. Don’t be a casual. He just struggled in the nba now he’s back to what he’s always been known for

 

[SlyPokerDog]

OMG! FREE McNUGGIES!

We're all winners!

 

[julius]

Is Simons injured?

I noticed that he wasn't playing too. I think it's that Stotts now as no reason to play him since CJ is back.

No way Nurk by himself will turn this sinking ship around. This team looks lost.

we need two Nurks and a new coach.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Melo would crush that fool!

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Said it in another post I expect us to struggle with guys coming back into the lineup going to take time to gain some chemistry

 

[B-Roy]

Here comes....Rodney? Seriously?

 

[PCmor7]

Melo can't break his selfish ways consistently. We're trying to comeback. He's getting a T pushing Sofia Jamora's boyfriend.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

They have 37 assists

 

[illmatic99]

why is rodney coming in

Layup and 3-point drill.

If the point is to win in the playoffs (and not just make the playoffs), they have to realize that Stotts is not going to cut it. 9 years, 8 playoffs, but only getting out of the 2nd round once.

 

[Scalma]

Is that...is that...RODNEY HOOD??

 

[OneSport3]

Glad this game is on TNT so the entire nation can see Stotts’ incompetence on full display. For the rest of the country, the narrative that Stotts is a quality coach still exists.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Alright let’s go we got this

 

[SlyPokerDog]

WE GOT A STOP!

ON DEFENSE!

WE ON THE CHAMPSIONSHIP PATH NOW!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

7pts!

 

[B-Roy]

There was no foul there but whatever.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

ANOTHER STOP!

DEFENSE ON FIRE!

 

[Scalma]

Ok so we need stops and you leave the only guy (outside of roco) who’s made defensive plays on the bench in favor of Rodney Hood. Amazing coaching!
