Game Thread GAME# 51: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - APRIL 8, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[Labinot41]

Melo in. God help us

 

[JDC]

Please just try something other than dropping Kanter. This is ridiculous.

They shouldn't be playing him at all

 

[BlazerBeav]

Getting out worked by a team that played last night. Gross

 

[illmatic99]

we're gonna be down 15+ by end of the quarter. so fucking predictable. we have a junior high coach leading our roster.

 

[B-Roy]

This lineup literally has no chance of succeeding. Melo/Kanter has proven to be the worst defense in the history of the league, but 70% of the season over and we are still doing it. I just can’t with this team anymore.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Kanter not rebounding like usual.

 

[B-Roy]

They shouldn't be playing him at all

Pick one of Kanter or Melo to permanently bench. That will bring us 5 ranks up in defensive efficiency. It almost doesn’t matter who you replace them with.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We are getting out-rebounded by 12.

 

[BonesJones]

They shouldn't be playing him at all

I don't disagree with that! But if you do play him and dropping him is THIS bad, it's absolutely inexcusable not to try something else.

 

[Serbian]

Lets call a spade of spades...Lillard has been dog shit. He lost his confidence. Can not shoot 3s or FTs.....its crazy how he fall off the cliff. Sure stotts stinks but these games are winnable if Brick Dame were to show up

 

[julius]

Once Nurk goes out, the teams defense just takes a shit.

And then Herman Stottster (that's the best monster related pun I could come up with on short notice) goes with the crappy defensive lineup.

 

[Tyrant of Ants]

Stotts should've challenged that 4th foul on Nurk. Was a BS call.

Dame missed 2 tech fts. Will suck if we lose this game by 1 point.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Utah played last night IN OVERTIME and they don’t have their sixth man of the year

what the fuck is wrong with the Blazers this the shit me and Nate be talking about

 

[BonesJones]

Kanter and Melo still in, Blazers still dropping the big. Absolutely no adjustments from Terry Stotts.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Stay on your man, CJ; Jones does not need help!

 

[BlazerBeav]

The bad basketball is just made worse by Jordan Kent. So bad.

 

[Cugel]

i think they did as well as you can expect, much better than I predicted but the Melo -Kanter pairing is going to extend the lead to 20 in a couple more minutes

 

[B-Roy]

Need to have a heart to heart with Melo and just stop playing him. It’s just not doable anymore.

 

[julius]

Lets call a spade of spades...Lillard has been dog shit. He lost his confidence. Can not shoot 3s or FTs.....its crazy how he fall off the cliff. Sure stotts stinks but these games are winnable if Brick Dame were to show up

He's 8-17 from the floor, and 3-9 from 3 tonight.

Please have some perspective.

Dame is not why they're losing this game. No one besides Dame or CJ has more than 7 shots.

 

[Labinot41]

Stotts is scared of the players..no other explanation. Dude holds no one accountable, makes no meaningful changes and hope the ISO plays will work and save the game..what a joke of an offense + defense this is

 

[AldoTrapani]

He does this shit every year he’s a very streaky player. Goes on supernova streaks then goes on big cold streaks as well.

 

[illmatic99]

this is 100% coaching. how do some of you not see this?

 

[VenomXL]

What a fucking terrible quarter. About to lose this game early.

 

[B-Roy]

I actually hate this team. I want this nightmare to be over. Please get to the off-season so they can overhaul the org.

 

[beast blazer]

Abysmal 3rd, game is slipping away

 

[illmatic99]

Stotts should've challenged that 4th foul on Nurk. Was a BS call.

Dame missed 2 tech fts. Will suck if we lose this game by 1 point.

we'll lose by 20 dont worry

 

[DDolla]

See guys next game... don’t worry, we will win the next 5 games

 

[Labinot41]

We are fucking trash

 

[BlazerBeav]

Somebody go back in the locker room and let the blazers know the third started

 

[James lamphear]

He's 8-17 from the floor, and 3-9 from 3 tonight.

Please have some perspective.

Dame is not why they're losing this game. No one besides Dame or CJ has more than 7 shots.

That can be problem if there not hitting shots.
