Game Thread GAME# 43: NETS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 23, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[julius]

There is no excuse if the team loses tonight. The Nets have 1 player playing right now who averages more than 14 ppg.

what in the literal and actual fuck.

 

[Tince]

Stotts playing CJ, Hood, Melo and Kanter at the same time is grounds for firing on the spot.

With Roco's 5 fouls, we literally only have 7 players, 5 of which suck on defense.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Blake Griffin just beat us downcourt.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lol blazers are garbage. @Natebishop3 and I tried to tell ya

Feel bad for Dame

 

[B-Roy]

My eyes are bleeding. Replacing even one negative defender with a positive one will be such a positive for the team.

Will this be the last straw for Terry?

probably not.

 

[Scalma]

Kanter is 15-14-6 right now and yet he just kills our defense. The lack of any resistance at the rim is just killing us. McGee looks a lot more appealing during a night like this.

mcgee could average 0 points and I’d still want him over kanter.

 

[TBpup]

People can say what they want about Harden, but he has more assists than Dame/CJ combined....with several of the best players on the team not available.

 

[LayneStaley]

I wonder how many signatures it would take to actual get Stotts fired. I mean what’s the number that would sway ownership?

 

[James lamphear]

Dame and CJ 7-21 together from the 3 another bad shooting night bad both players.

 

[B-Roy]

Also, if Neils target is Aldridge he should just resign now.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That has happened at least twice tonight. Inexcusable.

 

[Natebishop3]

This is what you get when your coach doesn’t hold anyone accountable on defense for 9 years. It’s a culture of lazy defense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Good news is trade deadline is Thursday. Hopefully this team is very different after then..

Because this current team is fucking garbage

Cj fell off

 

[VenomXL]

Team looks like shit again. Launch long balls and get beat for easy buckets on the other end. Over and over again.

Let these guys know. Always believed in u

 

[brooklynballer]

You realize the majority of the available roster is made up of minus defenders. If he only played our decent defenders, we'd have 3 players on the floor, and one of them has 5 fouls.

You make it sound like every other roster is full of All-NBA defenders. The reality is that each team has a few guys that play defense well. If Stotts actually emphasized defense and held his players accountable for lack of effort on that end of the court it would certainly be a start. I don’t even think he considers the defense to be a problem.

 

[bobf]

Blazers keep doubling down on washed up players. Overrating ability to put up a low percentage shot. Underrating defense, rebounding, hustle, and efficiency.

 

[Serbian]

I wonder how many signatures it would take to actual get Stotts fired. I mean what’s the number that would sway ownership?

None. He is unloveable unmovable object. He will be blazer coach until Lillard retires. We will never go anywhere with stotts as a coach

 

[Jayblaze]

The right move will be to fire terry stotts right after the game.

 

[VenomXL]

Ok RoCo lol.

 

[Natebishop3]

I wonder how many signatures it would take to actual get Stotts fired. I mean what’s the number that would sway ownership?

Signatures won’t work. People have to stop watching and buying shit.

Or Dame needs to want him gone.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

People can say what they want about Harden, but he has more assists than Dame/CJ combined....with several of the best players on the team not available.

And I don't think he is really even trying tonight; he can do much better.

 

[AldoTrapani]

And I don’t give a fuck of blazers still win. They are a FUCKING GARBAGE

Big difference between All-NBA defenders and 63% of your roster being a liability who can't defend 2 dribbles. And zero rim potection.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame has sucked last few games

 

[VenomXL]

How many three point attempts in a row is that?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Dame has been garbage latley

 

[brooklynballer]

Big difference between All-NBA defenders and 63% of your roster being a liability who can't defend 2 dribbles.

And who are all of the defenders on the Nets? Griffin? Harden? Claxton? Harris? Why isn’t Terry drawing up a scheme to attack their immobile defenders? Cuz he’s fucking clueless that’s why.

 

[bobf]

Also, if Neils target is Aldridge he should just resign now.

If we get Aldridge I’m done.
