Game Thread GAME# 47: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - MARCH 31, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00, NBCSNW

Offensively? Absolutely. It’s not even close. Defense? Nah

On offense Nurk is a much better screener and passer. Kanter is a better finisher and offensive rebounder. Overall offensively it’s not clear. Defensively not in the same realm. Overall not close. Nurk is our second most valuable player even when he’s playing like crap.

 

[Serbian]

Norm only took 4 shots. Ridiculous.

 

[Titan]

Seems like the difference so far is our bench vs theirs, and their bench has been much more productive. We don’t have a good bench player that can come in and constantly hit a three or we might have one of those types, but Melo chucks too much.

 

[James lamphear]

In the teams defense, he's been on the team for 2 games and they don't know him that much and it's not like CJ and Damian (who are rightfully ahead of him on the shot chart) are bums.

And there are 4 players who have shot more shots than he has in this game (and he's 1-4, so...). Yeah, Damian is 3-10, but Roco is 4-5 and CJ is 4-8.

Melo shouldn't be shooting though.


Let's not make this into an issue just to bitch about an issue.

Yay and the end of the game total will be Dame and CJ will have over 40 shots covington about 10 or 11 and Powell 6-8 shots and Nurk 6-8 shots this the story of this team past present and possibly the future as long we have this coach and Dame and CJ plays together.

 

[julius]

Norm only took 4 shots. Ridiculous.

He also only made 1.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Norm only took 4 shots. Ridiculous.

Thats why he’s not resigning here. Don’t blame him. This is only the dame and Cj show here. Glue guys like Roco tho play well here. Anything above that they’d be damn to sign here to just watch dame and Cj take iso turns

 

[Labinot41]

He also only made 1.

Hard to get in rythm on a team full of ball hogs and lazy guys

Well, Damian is kind of better than Powell, and more important to the team, and CJ has been here for 8 years and is a pivotal part of the teams offense.

So yeah, so amazing that CJ and Damian might have more shots than other players who aren't the #1 and #2 option on the team!

 

[OneSport3]

But guys, Melo needs to get his guaranteed quota of shots first because of this whole commitment to Melo and protecting his legacy thing.

 

[julius]

Hard to get in rythm on a team full of ball hogs and lazy guys

So that explains why in the 1st game with Dame in the lineup, Powell shot so horribly.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Jerami Grant is good!

 

[B-Roy]

Plumlee just stepped on Dame.

 

[Jayblaze]

Jerami grant for zach collins and djj who says no

And what has that gotten us? Lol

Detroit

So your saying we going live or die about how these two players play.

 

[B-Roy]

It's crazy that RoCo is almost 39% on threes after how he started the season. I think he was like 22% after 10 games or something.

 

[Serbian]

Nurkic much better passer than kanter but thats only thing offensively he is better at. And defense nurkic is better because if you suck at defense you still be better than kanter

 

[Jayblaze]

Detroit says no.

How about if you add simons

 

[Labinot41]

Norman zero involved into offense is worrying

 

[B-Roy]

RoCo LMAO

 

[julius]

Jerami grant for zach collins and djj who says no

Detroit.

 

[julius]

So your saying we going live or die about how these two players play.

sadly, yes.

 

[B-Roy]

Couldn't score on a 3 on 1 LOL

 

[bobf]

Nurk’s passing creating open shots

 

[B-Roy]

Dame's effort on defense much better so far.

 

[crandc]

Norman has had little chance to practice with the team. Give him time.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurkic much better passer than kanter but thats only thing offensively he is better at. And defense nurkic is better because if you suck at defense you still be better than kanter

Nurk is overrated. We just don’t have much options. He’s solid sure but nowhere near what anybody thinks he is. Besides I doubt he even makes it in one piece by the playoffs

 

[Jayblaze]

Cj for middleton trade would be perfect for us dame, powell, middleton ,roco, and nurk would be a perfect lineup
