Game Thread GAME# 42: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - JANUARY 12, 2018 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

As soon as our offense starts to get better, our defense goes to shit again. Not closing out on shooters, poor decision making, lack of focus, etc etc. Gave up 55% from the field today. Just brutal

Since that game @ ATL, it hasn't been looking right.

RUN CC! RUN AWAY FROM JADE!!!!!

 

[Scalma]

Don't forget the pump fake. Totally fooled Davis all night long.

It’s annoying because it’s making me resent Aminu, and that shouldn’t be happening because he’s a good player..just not a damn power forward and it seems like the only person who doesn’t see that is the one that should.

 

[jonnyboy]

We could have won if some of those late threes would've dropped. They rarely do though.

 

[Labinot41]

He’s from Germany so uhhh you know why he’s hating on lillard. It’s tunchis third account

Stupid comment, Lillard is my favourite Player, but he needs to realize when his 3point Shooting isn't falling, he needs to Stop Shooting 3s and attack the Basket, or more Pnr with Nurkic.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So can I blame 12-42 from 3, or was it the refs or Stotts?

He attacked the basket more than any other player this game. He got many open 3s. It'd be foolish to have him pass up open 3s.

Most of the threes he took were open

 

[BonesJones]

Who could’ve guessed Anthony Davis torching Aminu

And Holiday torched us too. Sliding Aminu over to SF and letting him guard Holiday would've solved two problems.

 

[BonesJones]

When Dame was on the court, we outscored NOP. But apparently the loss is on him because he couldn't pick up enough of the benches slack.

this L has been coming, Nurk had 11 pts in the 1st quarter and for some reason we stopped running plays for him in the next two quarters and we runned couple of plays for him in the fourth... he scored once, gone to the free throw line twice and made those 4 free throws

why did we stopped running plays for him is beyond me, its clearly the reason we lost this game... this one is on Terry Stotts, no doubt

Not only that but we consistently settled for jumpers even though they weren't falling. It feels like the reasons for every loss is more obvious than ever.

My guess is when I get to hell, this will be the curse I have to rewrite for eternity on a continuously-erasing stucco wall.

just a bad coaching tonight... even though we missed a lot of shots, we shouldve won this game

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Boogie that’s not Meyers.

I missed the game but first thing I thought when I saw the box score was that "this is one game Myers should have played."

 

[joeBlazers]

Where was ET tonight? excuse my ignorance on this. i might have missed it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'm liking Aminu tonight. Attacking the rim, hitting the three...good D...damn chief

He had the best plus minus by far.

Flu.

[Nikolokolus]

I wonder if Paul Allen feels as apathetic as I do when he watches this team?

 

[BonesJones]

No, because there hasn't been changes yet.

 

[Nikolokolus]

No, because there hasn't been changes yet.

Deadlines spur action.

 

[joeBlazers]

Something needs to shake this team up... Something. Trade, firing, benching, ... whatever

 

[Scalma]

It’s why I’m jumping to the conclusion that he’s going to be traded. He’s always played against Boogie, even when he wasn’t part of the rotation. Always.

Meyers hasn't played in eons, Ed's healthy and Nurk was off the floor for a grand total of 5 of Cousins' minutes.

That's why he didn't play tonight. I wish you were right though lol.

 

[DreamKillah]

I have a feeling that his loss will go down as the turning point of the season . . . I think we go down the toilet from here on out, I'm sorry to say . . .

Meyers always plays against Cousins. Even earlier this year. Meyers isn’t always in the rotation. Don’t kill my wave here.

Weird.

This was one of the easiest losses for me to deal with and I wouldn't be surprised if it was for the staff as well. The effort was there, they shared the ball...

Their best players all had great nights we had a cold night from 3...hard to get too down after a game like that.

 

[BonesJones]

Deadlines spur action.

If we were in charge deadlines would become irrelevant.

 

[Scalma]

My highlight besides Nurk taking it to Cousins was this.



Cousins was surprised he didn’t back down
