Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ HEAT - OCTOBER 27, 2018 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

Turner looks the other way and seth is wide open on the other side.

 

[BonesJones]

Once you're below the FT line on the break, take it all the way... You don't have space to pass the ball anymore (unless its out to the 3pt line). That's basic basketball.

 

[BonesJones]

Stauskas getting burnt.

 

[BonesJones]

Stupid.

Yup pretty much unless the defender steps up to you and you have a guy baseline, but he didn't...

 

[BonesJones]

Turner needs to try to get all the way to the rim more. He settles for mid-range too much.

 

[TBpup]

I like Turner playmaking more rather than taking a team high in shots so far.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jeeze Evan Turnover is back!

 

[BonesJones]

Yup pretty much unless the defender steps up to you and you have a guy baseline, but he didn't...

At that point, you're so close to the wing on the baseline that the defender near you will be able to guard the pass, and guard the recipient of the pass just as effectively.

 

[B-Roy]

Fuck Evan Turner....

 

[BonesJones]

That's the shot we get? GET IT TOGETHER STOTTS YOU IDIOT.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why does turner suddenly thinks he's Lillard ?

 

[TBpup]

Turner doing his best CJ/Shabazz ISO impression. Ugh!

 

[Shaboid]

Did Curry even touch the ball that quarter?

 

[ripcityboy]

We are doing the same shit we've failed on all week! Haven't they wotked in this stuff. They are killing us on the perimeter!

 

[BonesJones]

We've been horribly coached this game. Straight up terrible coaching. No structure, no sets, just straight up rat ball. Pathetic.

 

[BonesJones]

Did Curry even touch the ball that quarter?

No, but Evan Turner sure did.

 

[VenomXL]

Total disaster of a first quarter. Evan is taking way too many jumpers. Heat are playing very physical and causing turnovers. Old man Wade comes off the bench on fire...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Maybe the Blazers worst quarter of the year? Bad defense, bad offense, a bunch of to's. ET decided he's going to shoot 3's again.

 

[KingSpeed]

Miami is a good team. Props to them. This will be a tough game to win.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

ET turnovers and no discipline on D by the whole team; need tougher coaching.

 

[Chris Craig]

Turner needs to sit and stay on the bench

 

[BonesJones]

Turner doing his best CJ/Shabazz ISO impression. Ugh!

At least C.J. is an actual scoring threat.

 

[ripcityboy]

Can't Stotts make adjustments?

 

[TBpup]

Jake 2-3 early. He immediately gets subbed out and the team finishes the quarter 6-18 with Turner ignoring......EVERYONE.

 

[Shaboid]

We've been horribly coached this game. Straight up terrible coaching. No structure, no sets, just straight up rat ball. Pathetic.

Starters maybe a little, but the bench looked bad.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Terry Stotts, ladies and gentlemen....

 

[Chris Craig]

Did Curry even touch the ball that quarter?

I don't think he did. Turner was mostly in Evan or Niks hands

 

[Jade Falcon]

38% vs 56% Shooting Percentage. That's the difference here.

 

[Chris Craig]

I said this was goung to be the toughest game yet

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Did Curry even touch the ball that quarter?

Same with Layman earlier, scored 2 of 3, but those were his only chances.
