Game Thread GAME# 41: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 13, 2020 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

We held under 30 yes. But if the continues like it is there on verge of 104 and us 100.

 

[DDolla]

The Blazers are the worst team in the league, just sad.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers down after the 1st quarter....with Dame playing all 12 minutes.
That doesn't bode well for the 2nd quarter...

 

[illmatic99]

We are losing this arent we?

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ heating up

 

[Darkwebs]

With the way Melo is destroying Bridges, he can be the next Godzilla

@Darkwebs why ya got to be all negative on the poll? My favorite addition this year has been MELO!

 

[JDC]

Miles Bridges looking rough.

Never loved him at Michigan State (thought he had both positional and skill translation issues) and his defense looked appallingly bad in his first summer league.

Still thought he could develop into a useful, lower usage two-way combo forward in time though.

Could get there, but quickly losing faith in him.

I already did the "favorite addition" poll in Game 40. So I was trying to be fair by polling both sides.

Miles' defense has been brutal this year.

Both individually and as a team defender.

 

[Darkwebs]

Melo is feasting on the block!

 

[kjironman1]

I've noted this on every stream the past week.

It does, but people just say lottery pick in general like getting into the lottery at all is some whole difference. Maybe if you said 5th pick...

5th worst is a better chance at the #1 pick than 6th or 7th. There is that.

 

[illmatic99]

apparently hoard's mom is Nico's PR agent.

go figure

 

[Darkwebs]

Hoard getting some minutes, and not in garbage time.

 

[illmatic99]

cj is making it look so easy

 

[BonesJones]

This unit is rotating very well defensively. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[James lamphear]

CJ scoring when he wants tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet for both Melo and CJ, just scoring at will against the Hornets

 

[rotary111]

Please play Hoard more.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers breaking the game wide open, as a team. Everyone getting involved

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum knows Stotts' sets/plays.

 

[illmatic99]

That should be a flagrant on whiteside

 

[Darkwebs]

Baze commits some of the dumbest fouls

 

[Darkwebs]

Hornets running away from Dame. Dame splashes a 3!

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ scoring the (Hor)nets!

 

[illmatic99]

why dont we play at this pace more often? notably more aggressive on D in that second quarter leading to easy offense in secondary transition.

 

[Darkwebs]

This thread be like.....

We don't defend or play the Hornets very often.

Fun stretch to watch though.

 

[Darkwebs]

Doing a bit of everything, Melo has 12/4/4. Triple double watch. The only thing he hasn't done is a 3 to the dome.

 

[James lamphear]

We won majority of the stats. But we gave up 7 offense rebounds. But have 13 assist and shot over 50 percent from the field and at 3 point line. But we had 8 turnovers not very good. We end up scoring 37-20 in the 2nd so nice Quarter.
