Game Thread GAME# 46: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - MARCH 28, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:00, NBCSNW

[DDolla]

Don’t worry guys, we only plays defense in the 4th

 

[AldoTrapani]

I don’t know how many times teams have to scorch the blazers for this organization to realize Stotts is terrible

 

[James lamphear]

Defense terrible and the rebounding just as bad. Dame with 9 assist that's pretty good in one quarter.

 

[B-Roy]

Being a negative defensively at the center position is so much worse than being a negative defensively in another position.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

What's defense?

 

[Jayblaze]

Kanter is unplayable on defence

 

[AldoTrapani]

This team is gonna get destroyed in the Playoffs.

They won’t win a game watch. And if they do it’ll be when their down 3-0

 

[Darkwebs]

That’s twice Dame has gone to a post up, which is rare. Is it because of his injury or maybe he wants to prevent an injury? Could just be he feels these Toronto defenders as smaller

 

[AldoTrapani]

Any screen on the blazers completely takes them out

 

[Natebishop3]

Stotts rotation is Garbo.

 

[LayneStaley]

More trash D, Stotts is the problem.

 

[Cugel]

Stotts has to put Powell back in. There is zero zero defense, and this is worse than Portland's usual awful defense. Why would you think it's ok to leave guys like Bouche with a wide open, uncontested, time-for-a-deep-breath, 3? Kanter can't be out there without major major help. I love what he does on offense but christ he is awful, useless on defense.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Being a negative defensively at the center position is so much worse than being a negative defensively in another position.

I think being a negative defensively as a coach is easily the worst position.

If this team was without a coach, they'd be better on defense at this point.

 

[Natebishop3]

Norm has to be a better FT shooter.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You see why it didn’t matter Nurk and Cj were coming back

me and @Natebishop3 tried telling ya

It's Stotts' patented Steph Curry defense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Norm misses a lot of FTs

 

[Cugel]

Portland should look at some of the unsigned guys possible, a pure defender. Maybe Sacramento will unload Moe for cheap?

 

[Natebishop3]

RoCo is automatic right now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Weak call.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nurk’s paint defense is a breath of fresh air

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why do ya like Nurk?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurk’s paint defense is a breath of fresh air

Really?

 

[Darkwebs]

Crazy Melo save to Powell for 3!!!!

 

[Labinot41]

Wtf is CJ doing

 

[Natebishop3]

Wtf was that CJ?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Cj is a joke

 

[DDolla]

CJ one leg floater from the 3 point area.

 

[James lamphear]

This unit playing very well together so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

Back to back defensive stops by Nurk in the key
