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

[VenomXL]

Can’t feel good to only be up seven here.

 

[julius]

They should really stop spotting teams big leads.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll take it after that start!

 

[illmatic99]

Effort is something you can control. So we blame that on the players or the coach? Too often this team comes out with absolutely 0 effort.

pathetic preparation. that is 100% on the coach.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

25-9 run since I started watching lets go!!

 

[James lamphear]

Nice run by this team only down by 7 nice half by CJ and Powell. Kanter already double double.

 

[42N8Bounce]

The solution for bad defense, is more offense!!!

Go Blazers!

 

[B-Roy]

We cut a 25 point lead to 7 with all effort. I’m afraid we will come out in the third with pathetic effort again.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

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

...and then they decided to suck for a change!

 

[Hoopguru]

CJ Cov & Kanter

 

[PCmor7]

This reminds me too much of the Bucks game, so I'm tempering my enthusiasm. Unfortunately, I almost expect us to be down 15 3 minutes into the third quarter.

 

[Serbian]

We down by 26!!!! Takes melo finally off!!! We make comeback now
Down by 7!!!
19 points defecite made up without melo!!!' This idiot coach will play him again

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame needs to rest.

 

[Serbian]

where was this effort in quarter 1

Melo can not play melo

 

[blazerkor]

That comeback was very entertaining. I would like to see adjustments made coming into the second half to get Dame more touches or keep really make the Clippers continue to pay for selling out to take him out of the game.

I think if they can incorporate Norman into the offense more, using Damian as a decoy more, it would make it harder for teams to double and trap Damian.

It shouldn't have taken 9 years of having Damian on the team to figure out how to adjust to that.

Terry stotts doing adjustments lol his adjustment will be playing melo 14 minutes

A two man game of Dame and CJ needs to become a three man game including Powell, otherwise they shouldn't all be on the court at the same time.

Go Blazers!

 

[Chris Craig]

That is the kind of ballmovement we need. If there was more of that, the Blazers offense would open up. Opponent defenses can't cover that many shooters. Too much Iso ball. Blazers are two predictable when there is no movement

 

[illmatic99]

we're either gonna come out satisfied or exhausted and get blown out by 20.

 

[Chris Craig]

Haha I have that shirt

 

[LayneStaley]

What happened to Giles?
He can’t get 5 min a game?

 

[Tince]

I'm PRO using Powell on offense, but even if he is just standing in the corner (which hasn't been the case), the spacing he provides is so much better than DJJ.

hahahahah you think terry is capable of making halftime adjustments

So am I, but Stotts isn't using him right

of course you are. you don't think stotts can do any wrong

 

[KSF-ERIC]

pathetic preparation. that is 100% on the coach.

Stotts made good adjustments in the second quarter to turn things around. He’s such an underrated coach.
