Game Thread GAME# 56: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - APRIL 18, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:00, NBCSNW

[bobf]

Good D leads to easy O

 

[bobf]

There we go Nurk

 

[Chris Craig]

I want to see 20 points from Nurk tonight. They are small. They can't stop him

 

[Chris Craig]

Rondae active

 

[BlazerBeav]

No defense to be found.

 

[Chris Craig]

Charlotte really wants this win

 

[James lamphear]

Well right my thought is mix because it's to early in the game.

 

[B-Roy]

Is Terry throwing shit at the wall? Because Rondae has done nothing to earn a look. He’s clogging the spacing on the floor and has gotten lost multiple times on defense.

 

[DDolla]

Blazers lazy on transition defense

 

[bobf]

Is Little injured? Why is Jefferson starting??

 

[bobf]

Or is it just the Terry fing seniority rule?

 

[B-Roy]

The spacing is just awful.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Another horrific first quarter effort.

 

[B-Roy]

Jordan Kent stfu

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I know it's annoying and frustrating. He seems to play low and crouched with the ball instead of tall. Like he instinctively wants to go down before going up and he doesn't seem to have correct balance/footwork so his "up" isn't very far up, so he flips the ball instead of powering it home. He also needs to be a bit more selective with his passing. Just because someone cuts doesn't mean you have to pass it. And quit shooting any 3's (unless you are really making at the very least 33% in practice -- maybe he is but he's 16% career).

He could be a great player with a proper big man coach.

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts bringing in Melo and Kanter for defense.

 

[bobf]

CJ reacts by going 1 on 3 lucky to get bailed out

 

[B-Roy]

RHJ is a center.

 

[BonesJones]

Guys we can't defend with the Dame and CJ backcourt!

Wait... We can't defend because Nurkic is hurt!

Wait... We can't defend because we don't have wing defenders! Wait... we started Robert Covington and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

Guys, we can't defend because... They just made shots!!!

 

[bobf]

Here comes the dunk fest

 

[B-Roy]

Is Jones hurt or something

 

[AldoTrapani]

Just checked the score. Reason why I don’t watch anymore till we rebuild. Trash

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are so lost on defense. Insane.

 

[Scalma]

Let’s keep running that Kanter Melo pairing, maybe sprinkle in Simons too


When is Stotts getting fired already

 

[DDolla]

Technical Knockout in the first quarter

 

[Chris Craig]

Already one of the worst games I have seen the Blazers play

 

[OneSport3]

Are we playing the Charlotte Clippers?

 

[bobf]

Blazers good defense didn’t defend. Now Blazers bad defense is in a we have to watch the Melo shit show.

 

[James lamphear]

Well I guess we didn't come here to play a game this bad it's gets. With at point guard we not very good offensely.

 

[BonesJones]

Hey @Tince how are you doing?
