Game Thread GAME# 54: HEAT @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 9, 2020 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Wade Garrett]

Even with players missing, Miami is a really good team.
If healthy they could be a threat.
Sounds like another team we know.

 

[TL55]

So uh, Gary Trent Jr should be shooting about 20 more times a game. Give this man the damn ball from now on.

 

[TBpup]

Congrats to Stotts on his 350th win with the same team. The only other current coaches to do that:

Spolstra
Pop
Carlisle
.....one of these things is not like the other.

 

[James lamphear]

Our bench score 22 points all came from Trent.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn how the fuck does the freaking Memphis Grizzlies keep winning? Is that another team that has a bright future in the west? Fuck

He's not a guy you can just give the ball to.

He's been unbelievable in his role though.

Somehow all those guys have a ring and Stotts still has the same job without a ring.. weird

Why is Adebayo and all-star?

 

[illmatic99]

Why is Adebayo and all-star?

there are two sides to the ball.

and the east is weak on talent.

 

[Scalma]

He's not a guy you can just give the ball to.

He's been unbelievable in his role though.

yeah he is. He can get to his spots with the ball. Just hasn’t gotten a real opportunity yet.

After all star week end there schedule gets really tuff.

They still need to pass to him more, he is often wide open. Not to mention he can drive hit it from the top of the key. He's more than just a three shooter, just needs more time to develop it.

 

[wizenheimer]

Man, I was so wrong about Gary and happy about it.

I think a lot of people were wrong about him, including myself. I don't know why but for some reason I had been thinking he was a couple of years older then he was...until I checked last fall

 

[illmatic99]

they've been ridiculously healthy. also got a good young crew. their SOS is about to get crazy though

 

[James lamphear]

Trent does got things to work on and he work on them in the off season. But want he doing now has gave our team a big lift. From making key baskets I late in the game or get a key steal.

 

[DDolla]

After all star week end there schedule gets really tuff.

And we have 3 games against them. We win 2-1 we get in

 

[JDC]

yeah he is. He can get to his spots with the ball. Just hasn’t gotten a real opportunity yet.

Just don't see the type of talent it takes to be a high usage scorer.

 

[hoopsjock]

Furkan flashbacks...

The 2nd at least was kind of a scramble, its easy to get lost on those. The 1st one... Not sure what that was lol.

It's because we still don't auto switch picks in late game situations. It already cost us the Philly game, let's hope it doesn't cost us another.

 

[illmatic99]

Don't overlook the NO game.

 

[noknobs]

I can't remember the last time only one bench player has scored in a win.

 

[DDolla]

Don't overlook the NO game.

Yep because the NBA wants Zion to get to the playoffs at all cost

 

[James lamphear]

And we have 3 games against them. We win 2-1 we get in

Besides us they got one of the harder schedules and we got one of the easier schedules.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I can't remember the last time only one bench player has scored in a win.

Didnt notice that, thats nuts...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why is Adebayo and all-star?

he doesn't have to go up against HW every night.

 

[illmatic99]

Yep because the NBA wants Zion to get to the playoffs at all cost

think they want dame and melo over zion at the moment, but regardless, i meant that we shouldn't overlook the NO game to focus on the MEM game. It's what we did against DEN this week, while looking forward to the Spurs game because of our fight in the standings

 

[wizenheimer]

Carmelo Anthony a game high +15

which proves that stat for a single game sucks ass

 

[James lamphear]

Yep because the NBA wants Zion to get to the playoffs at all cost

There balling pretty good right now but we play them before the all star game and right after the all star game.

 

[EGame]

Nice bounce back win after the fuck job in Utah. Glad the guys used it as motivation and didn't bring them down. Keep up the hard work and we may be just able to sneak in the playoffs with a close to fully healthy team

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

which proves that stat for a single game sucks ass

I think he’s right around a 0 on the year for +/-
