Game Thread GAME# 53: HEAT @ BLAZERS - APRIL 11, 2021 - SUNDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[BlazerBeav]

Can we just head to Cancun already? This is going to be a death march to the end of May.

 

[B-Roy]

Playing Melo is like spotting the opposing team a 10 point lead each game

 

[EGame]

Don't even want to see us in the playoffs. Losing to good teams is one thing. Losing to them by getting blown out over and over is tiresome. Just brutal

 

[Scalma]

Rondae needs to be in rotation. We don’t have the luxury of just not playing good defenders lmao wtf

 

[TBpup]

Good to see the Bench Mob playing with some passion and energy.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Couldn’t even get us chicken nuggets

They looked good

 

[Tince]

Tough reminder we traded two 1st round picks to not select Adebayo (or Mitchell).

 

[James lamphear]

This young group maybe save Stotts job for one more game. They actually came out to play.

 

[Chris Craig]

More fight in our third stringers than in our starters. Fucking sad

 

[Scalma]

Dame
CJ
Little
Roco
Nurkic

CJ
Powell
Jones
RHJ
Kanter/Roco

just looking at these possibilities annoys me cuz I know it’s not a personnel problem.

Salt for the (Blazer loss) wound?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Stotts apologists what say you?

Let’s wait til Collins comes back and we have a full roster. He’s doing the best he can with this ragtag bunch.

It should be Dame/Powell/Little/RoCo/Nurk 35 minutes a night

 

[illmatic99]

why did jones play so few mins in the third? he came out really energetic on both ends in the first half.

 

[Tince]

I agree... Olshey picked him over Adebayo, and Olshey is a genius talent elvaluator, therefore Collins is an all-star.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Good news: Denver, Memphis, Dallas lost

Just stop man, stop.

Absolutely. Bam certainly isn’t. Randle took his spot.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Isn't it because the other team is in better shape?

Well, Miami does wear you down with their D. But still, the Blazers all looked tired (except for the 3rd team) Not a good time to have a back to back against a rested team.

Maybe collins don't what to come back to this shit show

 

[calvin natt]

Stotts apologists what say you?

Every single person says over and over they don’t care if he’s fired. I think mayyyyybe one person I can think of actually wants to keep him. “Stotts apologists” is such a tired, overused term.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Wow, glad he's putting the pressure on. We need more of this.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Collins knows he’s missing piece. With him last season, we were 8-3. Without him 28-40 including playoffs.

 

[Scalma]

How many back cuts did you see for Jones tonight? I don’t remember one. This is all a coaching problem.

Really? I don't recall reading that here. Then again I don't frequent this forum that often.

 

[Scalma]

dame's agent

not the first time lately. He also questioned the Melo Kanter pairing

100% on coaching, these losses are so preventable even if we have an AVERAGE guy on the bench.
