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

[VenomXL]

Clippers trying to score 50 in the first quarter.

 

[B-Roy]

Really think Kanter is unplayable. And instead of signing someone that could be a rim protector we got TJ Leaf

 

[TBpup]

Well Defense is back to shit.

....right on schedule when we play a Playoff team.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Honest to god I don’t think we can win one game in the playoffs against anybody

 

[VenomXL]

Zero resistance. It’s kind of impressive to watch actually.

 

[TBpup]

Clippers on pace for 50+ this quarter.

 

[Cugel]

This is almost over. There is no defense. Period.

 

[illmatic99]

fuck you terry.

how do you not take a single timeout when they have scored 14 of 15

 

[illmatic99]

our announcing crew is so cringe man

 

[B-Roy]

For all of Nurks mistakes, watching Kanter against any decent team makes me miss Even shitty Nurk

 

[VenomXL]

CJ cookin

 

[Chris Craig]

93% are you fucking kidding me

 

[DDolla]

Clippers going for 50 in the first qtr

 

[VenomXL]

Just let a dude stand in the quarter and shoot a wide open triple.

 

[B-Roy]

Melo plays with fire against any shooter.

 

[calvin natt]

No pride. Period. None. That’s all defense is.

 

[James lamphear]

Already gave up 38 points and PG already 15 points.

 

[illmatic99]

i dont understand the insistence of starting powell. he's not a bad defender, but playing him with Dame AND CJ puts us at such a massive disadvantage defensively just on size alone. like the first 10 possessions tonight, they just shot over our guys with no resistance.

i know our dumbass coach doesnt give a shit about that end, but this is obvious. Same as Melo/Kanter

 

[B-Roy]

Contest a fucking shot lmao. Even the misses are just pure luck.

 

[Chris Craig]

Melo plays with fire against any shooter.

He sure as hell doesn't play defense. Left Morris open for a three

 

[AldoTrapani]

Another 40 point 1st quarter on us. That has to be a record for a season

 

[Cugel]

They will have to shoot 10% in the second quarter to come in around average!

 

[Tince]

Why is CSSNW showing a replay of the Gonzaga/Baylor game? I don't want to watch that twice!

 

[B-Roy]

Oh boy, this lineup looks like it will do great on defense.

 

[Serbian]

Kanter needs to be cut. Whatever he offers on offense is not playable cause his defense is the worst in history of basketball. And stotts is the worst coach. We will get swept in playoffs. This team can not play any defense.

 

[Hoopguru]

Noticed that Dame gets a lot of passes delected.

I can see it working in some games but not against George and Leonard.

 

[LayneStaley]

I want Nate McMillan back. Stotts is a clown.

It's not just that. The Blazers are playing 2 man ball with CJ and Dame mostly shooting. They aren't moving the ball. With Dame, CJ, Powell, and Roco there should always be an open shooter

 

[LayneStaley]

Melo still sucks.
