Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 1, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[DDolla]

I like Wiseman but Kerr is not wise leaving him out there on a blowout game

 

[riverman]

That was as much fun as eating sushi...now I want to do it all over again!

 

[DDolla]

Blevins is bad.

Dame’s cousin... the only reason he is on the team

 

[julius]

Simons looks a lot more confident on the floor. The results are still mixed though.

I think his confidence is his issue. Still makes kind of silly mistakes, both offensively and defensively, but there was some improvement.

He just need burn and confidence.

 

[James lamphear]

Overall two players got hot on offense and there was some decent defense at times but the warriors miss some open 3 so still the defense is not there a lot weak area to correct.

 

[Tince]

35% is a reasonable three point threat.

I didn't think any of those guys were career 35% 3pt shooters. Maybe we got the best out of them afterall! I love them all, I'm happy!

 

[B-Roy]

Also: home team advantage does not exist this year.

 

[Natebishop3]

He’s like the little brother you let play with you and the big boys. Clearly he’s out of place.

Could we seriously not find another guy who actually has the potential to turn into a player?

 

[bobf]

Does anyone else think Curry couldn’t have done what he did with the teams that Dame has had?

He could have done what Dame did with Dame’s teams. No way he comes close to winning titles with Dame’s team.

Thanasis Antetokoumpo.

Kostas Antetokoumpo has a spot on a team his brother isn’t even on, but we know why he has it.

They weren’t. But Aminu and Hark combined for about 35% as Blazers. Nurk shouldn’t ever shoot a 3 IMO.

 

[Scalma]

I love how Neil didn’t even bother with his two way spots. Even the guy he signed doesn’t belong anywhere near the nba. That level of arrogance is actually impressive and funny.

 

[DUB]

Fulltime
Us - 123

[kjironman1]

Holy shit did Stotts switch his guard rotation and leave in the hot hand???

This!
I caught that also. Lillard usually plays all the first quarter. Not this game.

 

[hoopsjock]

 

[bobf]

Gotta love Brooke though.

 

[bobf]

Nice balanced efficient game for Dame. If Nurk gets it going again and we continue to gel we are gonna be a second tier team.

 

[B-Roy]

@THE HCP Are you guys involved in how replays are strung together? I notice sometimes you guys string together two or three replays that end up cutting into live action. Or playing replays when live action is happening. I know not all of these stuff is avoidable, but is it possible to cut down on the number of times a game this happens? There’s at least 2-3 plays missed per game because of this.

 

[noknobs]

Good win but we're lucky Golden State wasn't making wide open threes.

Pretty sure that’s entirely HCPs wheelhouse.

 

[DDolla]

Anyone know what happened to Rodney?

 

[DDolla]

Watch next game, they won’t miss lol

 

[42N8Bounce]

Not bad for a guy we signed for the min.



At his current pace of 11.7 ppg:
- He'll be passing Dominique Wilkins in 15 games.
- He'll be passing Oscar Robertson in 18 games.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Blevins is bad.

If Dame wasn't his homie he wouldn't be in the NBA.

 

[bobf]

Anyone know what happened to Rodney?

strained calf muscle I think I heard.

 

[Titan]

I may die on this sword, but so far the year 2021 looking great

It's been like this for over 10 years. I wish we had less replays too.

This happens in NFL and NHL also. Sometimes even in MLB.

I know it happens. I’m just asking for it to happen less. National TV broadcasts have less missed plays than local ones.

Also: home team advantage does not exist this year.

It is a huge factor for sure, but I would think that some players might be a little more comfortable shooting in the arena they are used to. And not traveling should help a little except when they play back to back in the same arena.
