Should have traded CJ during his hot streak.

 

[brooklynballer]

I think this team is done playing for Stotts. Cycle is over.

You could’ve said the same thing after the NOP series but we all know how that turned out. I’ll believe it when I see it.

god i hope so

There, Powell gets called for a foul on Butler for doing the same thing Butler didn't get whistled for doing to Lillard in the first half.

 

[blazedanugz]

Someone in the media needs to call out CJ for not improving in one aspect of the game besides scoring in his career.

 

[OneSport3]

Dame has only taken 6 shots! Miami is selling out to take him out of the game. This. is. so. new.

....some hot streak he had 4 years ago.

This is what we commonly refer to as “playing for the blazers.”

If Dame was playing for LA nobody would be able to breath on him.

 

[James lamphear]

28.6 from the 3. Not winning formula for this team.

 

[brooklynballer]

"Guys were injured. You cant judge our style of play without Nurkic and CJ."

“Ah but you’re forgetting our ace-in-the-hole Zach Collins. When Zach comes back this team will look so different.”

 

[Scalma]

God dammit we don’t need Melo we need stops. Exchanging baskets is pointless.

That's absolutely true. It used to be "well, he'll get those calls when he's paid his dues."

He's one of the most-visible players in the NBA. And these aren't fake calls I'm asking them to call. I'm asking you to call it when one of your marquee players is legitimately fouled regardless of what market he plays in before he gets hurt.

 

[B-Roy]

This game is over the moment Melo comes back into the game.

literally one of the worst self sabotaging moves ever

 

[illmatic99]

down 14.

here comes melo to push this deficit to 20.

 

[PCmor7]

RoCo misses open shot, doesn't follow his shot AND doesn't get back on defense.

 

[OneSport3]

Unbelievable, Melo about to check-in. This lead will be 20 in no time...

 

[Natebishop3]

Stotts is the ultimate tank commander.

Forget it, Jake. This is Portland.

 

[BlazerBeav]

RoCo has disappeared on us.

 

[Scalma]

Part of me wants Stotts to make it until the end of the season just because it increases our odds of getting into the lottery.

 

[Natebishop3]

It’s almost like we know we can’t beat playoff teams so we save our energy for the bad teams.

 

[illmatic99]

RoCo has disappeared on us.

nearly all of his shots have gone in n out

 

[brooklynballer]

Stotts is the ultimate tank commander.

But but but “coaching doesn’t matter”. “Ball movement doesn’t matter”. Fucking homers.

 

[B-Roy]

Great not just Melo. Melo Kanter

 

[Natebishop3]

This team will get swept in the playoffs no matter who we play so at this point I’m good with tanking for the lottery.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

every third quarter...

 

[James lamphear]

“Ah but you’re forgetting our ace-in-the-hole Zach Collins. When Zach comes back this team will look so different.”

Really why you bring Zach name up when he not playing this jug fuck on the players that's on the floor. But if he was playing he being giving effort to help win the game not some over paid guards we got.

 

[PCmor7]

RoCo has disappeared on us.

Good player. Plays hard. Makes at least one play every game that makes me wonder about his basketball IQ. Not worth two first-round picks in the teens to anyone but Portland. Love having him on the team, but his performances are so maddeningly uneven on offense.

 

[TBpup]

Melo....you are a clown.
