Game Thread GAME# 50: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - APRIL 6, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[LayneStaley]

Where’s that dude that always tells me how wrong I am and that blazers are really good. What’s he have to say right now?

 

[illmatic99]

this was predictable from the way we defended on the first possession

 

[VenomXL]

This is PATHETIC. Why am I still warning this shit? Just to make myself more mad I guess.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Absolutely brutal.

 

[Ca$hconsiderations]

Well this might be a good result for the fire Stotts crowd. More games like this is what they need.

Granted I think he’s gone anyways as soon as this season is over

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wow we suck

Even since I posted this, we have revealed startling new depths of suckage

 

[James lamphear]

Doesn't matter how many times outs Stotts this team totally disengage tonight.

 

[TBpup]

I love Dame....but if he is the best leader in the NBA and this is the effort and level of pride, then the bar must not be very high.

 

[Freshtown]

Time to resurrect the “this is the worst blazers team in my lifetime” thread

 

[Hoopguru]

Some small injury taking him off his game, fatigue from putting this team on his shoulders, double teams against him, you pick

He's not aggressive. He's too willing to give up the ball.

He’s beat up. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted a change of scenery.

[Serbian]

I want stotts and melo gone. Dame i was big fan of yours but you are a pathetic coward. No pride no balls. Get rid of melo and stotts go to the management and demand their sacking after this Game!!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

At least we've got third in the Northwest sewn up. THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This is to be expected when playing without our starting PF and C. Let’s see how we are against the Clippers when the games matter.

 

[B-Roy]

I hate the way this team plays. The last time I could really say that was before we even had Dame.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Damn, it ain't even the playoffs yet and we're playing like this. At least Stotts is getting into playoff mode.

 

[Ca$hconsiderations]

I wouldn’t say all that but I agree u can blame Dame for allowing this. He seems pretty content. Not sure why

 

[Chris Craig]

The problem is not loosing. The problem is we get blown off the court against playoffs teams. Its pathetic. I got no problem loosing close games but to be blown out by everyone who is good is alarming. And our GM doesn’t give a fuck

Sure he does. He signed Jefferson and Leaf

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[James lamphear]

If we lose in the playin, would we be a lottery team and get to keep our pick? Does anyone know the rules on that?

I don't know something I heard that final standing would reflect the draft order so we could be hurt a lot of ways.

 

[Strenuus]

Exactly my point. I can't get excited when we have close wins against bad teams and get blown out against good teams.

That is a no win situation when you have to face the same team multiple times in short succession with a coach who sucks at changing things up at all.

 

[Chris Craig]

I love Dame....but if he is the best leader in the NBA and this is the effort and level of pride, then the bar must not be very high.

He is spending so much time pointing and directing and passing to get others involved, he doesn't shoot enough himself

 

[Natebishop3]

This just isn’t a good team. We will be swept in the first round and Terry Stotts reign of terror will finally end.

 

[julius]

well, so far, this game isn't doing much good for Portland's defensive rating

you spelled "the Blazers head coach" wrong.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Where’s that dude that always tells me how wrong I am and that blazers are really good. What’s he have to say right now?

We’re playing without our 7 foot PF and C. This game is meaningless. Wait til they come back.

 

[LayneStaley]

Next game will be worse but then there’s a Kool-aid delivery at home vs Detroit after so half this board can spend a night shinning this turd. I’m done this season, I hate Stotts so much I don’t even want him to succeed anymore.

 

[Strenuus]

This is to be expected when playing without our starting PF and C. Let’s see how we are against the Clippers when the games matter.

So you admit these games don't matter when you told me for years every game matters.

Which is it?

 

[MadeFromDust]

This is what seems to consistently happen when we face real competition.

 

[illmatic99]

think they might score 90 in the first half

 

[PCmor7]

I'm calling it. This team gets broken up in the offseason.

Seriously, what's the point? No defense. Our center that people used to say was better than CJ misses more games than he plays and two out of every three games he's just not with it ... I think the guy might be dealing with depression and I feel for him, but he needs to get that treated somewhere and we can't keep him just because he's in an emotional pit.

This team has looked way way too bad against good teams. Losing is one thing. Getting blown out on a regular basis ... if you can't compete with playoff teams, then making the playoffs don't matter.

Start from scratch. New GM. New coach. New everything.
