Game Thread Game #45 - BLAZERS @ BOSTON CELTICS - JANUARY 21, 2022 - FRIDAY - 4:30 (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[DUB]

The sound and the vision aren’t synced, the commentary is a second or two ahead of the play; is it like this for everyone?

Edit: it was fine in the first half.

Edit: and now it’s fine after the timeout.

Me coming to post that the blazers are up 8 in the 2nd quarter…

vs

Blazers then giving up a 20-9 run to be down at half time…

Twice this game where Nas was open and cutting to the rim for a wide open layup/dunk and CJ completely ignores him.

Do not miss this shit at all.

 

[B-Roy]

I like watching this team better without CJ

 

[Titan]

I like what Ant is doing. He is scoring but also involves the whole team.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man this team plays better when we want them to lose. Where has this been all these years fuck

 

[illmatic99]

watching these games, it's clear that Ant is far more capable of playing PG than CJ was, even if CJ's assist numbers were solid when he played that position fulltime.

Ant is controlling the flow, getting teammates involved, is playing really measured an solid ball without dominating the usage.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Much better here in the third.

 

[DUB]

Ant shooting 66.7%
CJ shooting 38.5%
Take a wild guess who has taken more shots.

MeJ.....with extra 'Me'.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk with another good game going - 20 and 11 in the third.

 

[illmatic99]

brown looks shorter than i thought he was

 

[illmatic99]

wtf is boston doing on offense man. they're all bunched up around the lane

 

[TBpup]

Look for the lowest shooting percentage on the entire Blazer team.....and then look at who has taken the most shots.

Not a shred of awareness or team play in the man. I may stop drinking wine altogether out of protest.

 

[DUB]

We’re going to lose this when we don’t have to. CJ will go full MeJ at the end of the game. Just sit him at the end, and we can win. But we all know that won’t happen.

 

[Titan]

I am not a fan of this MeJ action every time down the court.

 

[illmatic99]

no pass iso possessions by cj where he misses the rim by a foot.... not great

[BlazerBeav]

Smith sure does miss a lot at the rim.

 

[illmatic99]

sigh. cj doing nothing to cool the narrative.

he played well against Miami, but tonight has been a disaster.

 

[wizenheimer]

brown looks shorter than i thought he was

he was measured as 6'5.25 barefoot and 223 lbs in the pre-draft

 

[Mr. Robot]

could duo simons/nurk be better than lillard/nurk ( just to be clear, im talking about two man game, not that we should trade dame or anything)

theyre developing a really special chemistry or at least thats what i think

 

[illmatic99]

is that even a common foul? smith didn't even crowd his space that much.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Just like at Miami - take a lead into the fourth and fall apart.

 

[B-Roy]

Ceeee jayyyy

 

[illmatic99]

2 guys on you. pass the ball damnit

 

[TBpup]

2 guys on you. pass the ball damnit

What is this 'pass' word you refer to?
