Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 14, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[LuckyShot]

Stotts apologists keep saying that the coaching mistakes aren't on Stotts because he doesn't have a talented enough team.

Ah. Thank you.

 

[BonesJones]

Alright, down 7, need to push in transition at every opportunity. More possessions means a bigger chance of coming back.

Who's ready for more halfcourt offense?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Oh look, we ran in transition and got our best look of the night!!!

Oh look, we ran in transition and got to the line!!!

Maybe we should run more in transition when our halfcourt offense is absolute crap?

Heathen!

 

[LuckyShot]

Some shitty calls happening here...

 

[Rhal]

Some consistency by these refs would be nice.

 

[HailBlazers]

Wow

 

[TBpup]

They called an offensive foul on Layman for that exact same play. Now it's a defensive foul.

 

[BonesJones]

Even our TV Crew doesn't have enough talent!!!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

"You guys aren't NBA coaches"
-- "We still can tell that he needs to play Jake more minutes, it's obvious"
"You guys don't know as much as him"
**Stotts finally plays Layman more**
"Stotts playing Jake more, great job by Stotts!!!"

Damn it; there you go again; trying to take credit for Stotts great decisions!

 

[BonesJones]

They called an offensive foul on Layman for that exact same play. Now it's a defensive foul.

It's the refs fault, not Stotts! Haha.

 

[BonesJones]

*Jackson hits tough, contested, fading three*
"Guys, this is why Jake doesn't play more!"

I don't know how to make this funny. C.J. McCollum. That's the answer.

 

[Rhal]

It's the refs fault, not Stotts! Haha.

I mean Stotts have literally 0 control over the refs so you can hate on Stotts all you want but if the refs suck the refs suck...

 

[BonesJones]

This has been the funnest game thread of the year though haha.

 

[Blazer4ever]

We don't get any stops on defense, we can't close the gap if they score on every possesion

 

[BonesJones]

I mean Stotts have literally 0 control over the refs so you can hate on Stotts all you want but if the refs suck the refs suck...

Convenient that they started sucking in two minutes in the 4th quarter to take all the blame off Stotts!

Maybe we shouldn't put the game in the hands of the refs?

 

[LuckyShot]

Well, Jake is done for the night. lol

 

[BonesJones]

[Rhal]

I would rather Dame ahve taken that horrible probably blocked layup then have Evan Turner shoot that open 3 lol

 

[Chris Craig]

Behind after 3rd+starting 4th with shitty bench unit+waiting till opponent lead is double digits to bring starters in = loss

 

[Strenuus]

LMFAO.

 

[LuckyShot]

What an excellent offensive possession.

 

[BonesJones]

Well, Jake is done for the night. lol

"Good job Stotts playing Jake more!!!"

Jake played 10 minutes that half....

Meanwhile Turner is still in bricking 3s as a 15% 3pt shooter or whatever. Hahaha.

 

[Blazer4ever]

What a terrible game for Dame

 

[BonesJones]

"Dave Joerger riding with his bench deep into the 4th"

Is that what his 3x5 card says?

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeez, Meyers, you gotta get that board. Zach played perfect D, going vertical.

 

[Blazer4ever]

What a terrible game for Dame

More Turnovers than Assists, for one example

 

[Strenuus]

What a terrible game for Dame

What? He's the only reason we're in this game.

 

[LuckyShot]

Is Nurk going to pull his head out of his ass and realize he's in Sacramento tonight and that last night's game is fucking over?

 

[BonesJones]

What a terrible game for Dame

No talent. Can't 1v3 kamehameha everybody for 70 points.

 

[Rhal]

I'm really confused why you are thinking that getting mad at the refs, or pointing out some very suspect calls, has anything to do with Stotts. It has 0 to do with him and doesn't even take away from the blame you want to throw Stotts way. Can people not point out things about the game or does everything have to involve Stotts?
