Game Thread GAME# 39: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 4, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It really pisses me off that Dame / Stotts still haven't figured out to stop setting screens 30 feet away from the basket, and then that when another man comes how to handle it. How many times can a team play your play the same way and you don't have an answer for it...

 

[BonesJones]

Whenever the other team turns up the pressure we struggle. We rarely have an answer.

Exactly.

 

[Rhal]

Well they've been creating them.

They have gotten at least 4 of our tapouts on rebounds as well.

 

[TBpup]

If Portland loses tonight, a lost in either of those last 2 OT games would have them in the #8 spot.

 

[ripcityboy]

We need to go on a run badly.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm going to give this a couple more minutes. If we don't have significant improvement, I'm taking an early night.

 

[Rhal]

They are playing super physical, Dame and CJ have a chance for some FT's if they drive to the basket.

 

[beast blazer]

These guys are a bunch of morons. No discipline, just throwing up crap

 

[hoopsjock]

You know what would help with that? Moving the ball like we did in the first half!

I'm not sure you can call it an early night when there is 6m left in a game

 

[Shaboid]

Dame: attack attack attack!

 

[DUB]

This game isn’t over, but it will be if we keep hanging our heads.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If Portland loses tonight, a lost in either of those last 2 OT games would have them in the #8 spot.

If we lost all the games we won we'd be winless.

 

[Rhal]

Go0d God that was amazing block by Harkless/

 

[ripcityboy]

Damnit!

 

[DUB]

Great block Mo!

 

[Blazer4ever]

OK, Stotts is done with the substitutions

Good. I don't want to see us in the playoffs if we're going to play like this. And I'm tired of getting middle-of-the-road picks from bumfuck college.

 

[Rhal]

Sure looked like CJ got fouled there

 

[BonesJones]

Gotta love starting our offense 35 feet away from the rim.

 

[LuckyShot]

Knew that first half offense was a fucking mirage.

 

[kjironman1]

Here ya go. Guard everybody except AMINU

 

[BlazerBeav]

Diastrous loss, and now Hurricane Harden comes in tomorrow. Two days off to prepare and we get this mess.

 

[ripcityboy]

And that's about wraps it up, folks.

 

[beast blazer]

Why did I bother watching this shit. Game over. Pathetic in so many facets.

 

[BonesJones]

You know what would help with that? Moving the ball like we did in the first half!

Great idea! Im trying to yell that through the TV to Terry Stotts right now.

 

[illmatic99]

We look like we've given up. That possession with Aminu dribbling for 6 seconds and Nurk holding for 8.

WTF was that. MOVE

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts killed this game. Tired of it. Makes games miserable to watch

 

[TBpup]

If we lost all the games we won we'd be winless.

Not sure I'm going to count on many games like a road in against the Warriors. Tried giving the game against the Kings away. It's just how they play bigger picture. #Purgatory
