Game Thread GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - DECEMBER 30, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

I feel like the Blevins situation doesn’t get enough attention. This is nothing like the Antetokounmpo
family. Those guys play and actually produce. Blevins averaged 11 and 6 at Montana State. I don’t know of another situation like this in the NBA. It’s not like it matters - last dude on the bench isn’t going to win us a game, but why not have someone there who MIGHT help?

CJE playing over Ant....but we had to play Ant over Trent.
#StottsLogic

He’s stuck in some crazy Stotts purgatory. Not good enough to get legit bench minutes but too good for garbage time???

 

[DDolla]

Maybe Dame is getting old. This year Kenny Smith and Grant Hill predicted him as an MVP Candidate but nowhere near an MVP candidate.

 

[LayneStaley]

Giles is good and would make our rotation better, it’s obvious.

 

[ehizzy3]

Why are they talking about ketchup. Why am I still watching

 

[illmatic99]

well coached teams dont get blown out this frequently.

like... we're not even competitive

God damn. Some people here can overreact with the very best of them. Yep, Dame is washed. You got it.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Miami has. Milwaukee has. Dallas has. All three supposedly have coach of the year guys. Oh and the Spurs have too. Pop even got tossed in tonight’s blowout.

 

[riverman]

Butt ugly game by the good guys...get the next one!

 

[LayneStaley]

Blevins and CJ2 shouldn’t even get garbage PT

 

[DUB]

Fulltime

Us - Not good enough
Them - Too good

Dame is in a slump... quick turnaround that he wasn't expecting after an injury? Regardless of what it is his career isn't on the decline all of a sudden... that's some @AldoTrapani shit right there.

 

[PCmor7]

I guess you could see this coming, second game of a back-to-back and all.

What? The Clippers were the one playing a back-to-back? Nevermindddddd.

 

[TBpup]

Clippers on the 2nd of a back-to-back....just roasted us. Sad.

One bright spot, Giles with 7 points, 5 rebounds and a block in 8 minutes

spurs didn’t get blown out tonight . It was down to single digit game with like 4 min left in the 4th

Their best player was well rested.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why the f*** is CJE playing over Ant??? This makes no sense at all. Stotts is really stupid. That’s it.

They could have both played; not sure if Kanter or Jones wanted to be out there.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

How much you want to bet that the team will try to say this was because they were so distraught over the Collins news?

Terry Stotts is the Rudy Guiliani of the Blazers. He keeps bringing up injuries as excuses even though he has a full roster.

Lost by 14 at home to that team that lost to the lowly Blazers....

 

[blazerkor]

Oh man... I'm glad that one is over. That was an absolute motherfucking dumpster fire. The fact is, if Dame can't hit a shot and is trying to shoot through it, we're a lottery team. Luckily Dame will be fine and we'll end up going out in the first or second round.

 

[TBpup]

Their best player was well rested.

Their best player with a mouth full of stitches and playing in a mask? That guy? Yes, quite correct.

 

[BlazerRx]

Well that was all around ugly and embarrassing. Here is hoping they come out with more aggression in the next 2 games and beat golden state twice. I would take 3 and 1 on this LA trip. No need to panic unless we drop both of those games.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nurk — wtf is up with him?

Him, Dame and the rest of the team.

 

[PCmor7]

Maybe Dame is getting old. This year Kenny Smith and Grant Hill predicted him as an MVP Candidate but nowhere near an MVP candidate.

I didn't want to be the first one to mention that and potentially have to fight the entire board over it, but, yeah, his shot just hasn't been nearly as deadly through the first 4 games as we're used to seeing in the last few seasons.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Their best player with a mouth full of stitches and playing in a mask? That guy? Yes, quite correct.

Yep. That sore mouth sure effected his ability to run, jump, and shoot.

 

[OneSport3]

Miami has. Milwaukee has. Dallas has. All three supposedly have coach of the year guys. Oh and the Spurs have too. Pop even got tossed in tonight’s blowout.

Of the 8 games we’ve played this year, we’ve been blown out in 5 of those games. One of the wins was against a team with 9 players missing 3 rotation players.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Giles is ready for rotation minutes.

OTOH — Simons shouldn’t be playing 10 minutes as long as the game is within reach. Garbage time player.

CJE is a ways away too. Yikerz

 

[DDolla]

Next game Dame should shoot the first 50 shots for the Blazers to get him going. Screw Nurk or CJ. Just shoot it

 

[ehizzy3]

again, wasn’t a blowout

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are 2-2. Panic if that makes you happy. I’ll choose a even keel.
