Game Thread GAME# 52: PISTONS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 10, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

The post I replied to was that 50 points in a half is low scoring for the NBA. You just proved that to be true. Seems like a fact to me.

Average is not low.

 

[Tince]

Average is not low.

Below average is low though. It certainly isn't above average/bad like the original post implied.

 

[James lamphear]

Kanter double double and Dame is 2 assist away from one.

 

[Strenuus]

Below average is low though.

For Detroit? One possession is not that far below. 2 or 3? Sure.

Also, for further context 60 is the high average for a team.

I agree... I wouldn't have made a post saying our defense was amazing because we held them 3 points under their average. I also wouldn't say our defense was bad because the 29th rank defense held a team under their average.

Our defense will always be bad. We are just playing a shitty team.

I really appreciate Powell's ability to draw fouls, that's a nice addition.

I agree... of all the games to complain about it, this wouldn't be one (so far).

I didn't get a good look at the travel call on Kanter. Was it the right call?

 

[Driew]

Anyone know what's up with Marc Mason?

Didn't he miss a bunch of games the last couple years due to health reasons?

 

[Tince]

One thing I appreciate about Kanter is that when he's feeling it, he doesn't try to expand his offensive game, he just keeps doing what got him to that point.

 

[Chris Craig]

This is what it felt like to be on the Jazz side of their game vs the Blazers

Yeah that's why I'm asking--think it was a blood clot in his leg so I'm hoping it's not that again.

Yeah

 

[BonesJones]

It's funny how some people think messing around with lineups is what people are talking about when they speak on Terry's lack of adjustments.

 

[crandc]

This time the other guys getting killed in the third quarter.

It's far more fun being the superior team!

I don't know; I do know he took three steps w/o dribbling.

Looks like Nurk was saying, “I taught him that move” in regards to the Kanter rip thru move

 

[James lamphear]

Kanter 23 rebounds.

 

[illmatic99]

melo is embarrassing

 

[Darkwebs]

Kanter needs just 5 more boards to break the Blazers record for rebounds in a game

 

[Darkwebs]

The Melo iso is the most feared play......for fans of his team

 

[Tince]

Hopefully Kanter will teach Nurk how to get 9 offensive rebounds in 3 quarters as a token of his appreciation.

 

[James lamphear]

3-7 8 points you know your not getting much on the other side occasionally makes a nice play.

 

[Labinot41]

Play Kanter vs bad teams and play Nurkic vs good teams. seriously

 

[Tince]

RHJ our 6'6", 215lb backup center tonight

 

[illmatic99]

and yet again, the moron takes out nas instead of melo
