Game Thread GAME# 53: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - FEBRUARY 7, 2020 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[JDC]

Dame is otherworldly.

What a gutty half.

Biggie and Trent were huge. Mario came up big after a ROUGH opening stretch. Wenyen had his moments.

CJ blowing kisses to the Melo heckler YEEEESSSS!

Hope Simons is ok, same with Trev. That outburst came out of nowhere.

 

[Serbian]

Conley used to give Dame some trouble on both sides of the court. What happened to him?

Dame got much better and conley regardless little and stayed stagnant

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The Utah Jazz have 0 blocks.

 

[DDolla]

Like I said, win or lose. Our boys just turned that corner for the playoff push

We need to win. Can't be blowing double figure halftime leads if we want to catch Memphis and hopefully, Dallas.

 

[Chris Craig]

Some guy in uniform #44 has 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and a block. Please help, I don't see anyone of that ability with that number on the roster.

He must have seen my mailbag

 

[KSF-ERIC]

good timeout

 

[DUB]

It appears to me that Mario has the skills, athletic ability, and basketball IQ to succeed in the NBA, but his confidence is so terrible that he fluctuates between over, and under compensating.

Right now he doesn't have a choice, he just has to play. Playing without thinking about it, just trusting his instincts, seems to be benefiting him.

 

[James lamphear]

Last two time just completed bad defense know you got and get on them.

 

[illmatic99]

how do you screw up that badly on defense after a make?

 

[TBpup]

No one anywhere near Mitchell and Ingels on back-to-bakc posessions? Not how they needed to start the 2nd half. Figure it out....you can get this game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nobody picked up Conley. Inexcusable!

 

[OneSport3]

Does this team even practice defense? How do you have missed assignments off a made basket???

Yep.

Melo Melo Melo

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Melo Melo Melo

Seems like it should have been a guard, but you are right that Melo didn't step out on Conley's previous three.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Wizards are surging up standings. We need them to take down Memphis in their next game.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame playing D

 

[Chris Craig]

And 1

 

[The Professional Fan]

Swanigan is a better defender than Meyers

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame! A block, a steal, and then a 30-foot bomb.

Lillard be like

 

[JDC]

Seems like it should have been a guard, but you are right that Melo didn't step out on Conley's previous three.

It was on Gary.

Conley was guarding him the previous possession then tried to pick up Mitchell on D and didn't communicate it to CJ.

Unless they spoke about it previously, then it would be CJ.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

At realGM, over the last few days, people keep saying "no one want to face Dame in the playoffs."

 

[DUB]

Biggie looks tired, and I don't blame him.

 

[TBpup]

Half the team out. Unbelievable!

 

[Darkwebs]

Another wedgie! Back to back nights

 

[illmatic99]

come on CJ

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard might really be a GOD. How is he everywhere (omnipresent) on the court? Defense, offense. Steals, block, causing turnovers.

 

[TBpup]

These refs are a joke! Dame gets his feet kicked out on one '3', then gets hit in the head. #3BlindMice

 

[Darkwebs]

Melo nearly did a full on split.
