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

[Chris Craig]

Blazers need to go on a big run to start the 3rd

Need to remove heads from asses in the lockerroom during halftime

 

[bobf]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t buy this “funneling” defense concept. Seems like a gimmick that doesn’t actually work. Stay directly between your guy and the hoop.

 

[wizenheimer]

Portland's 3 'scorers', CJ-Powell-Melo, have 28 points on 27 shots. That's not going to win many games

and, no Jones...why? at the same time RoCo is completely uninvolved in the game...why, part 2?

 

[illmatic99]

DJ better have some injury. To get a dnp CD is unforgivable

 

[illmatic99]

Can't even fathom how an NBA team plays this defense

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk should be more active, three shot attempts isnt enough

What a disaster.

that's two more shots than RoCo had

 

[Scalma]

holy fuck I just noticed Melo. 5 out tf is he even doing asking for help there

 

[B-Roy]

The best thing they could do if they want to salvage this season with some kind of competitiveness is by dumping Melo to the curb, but apparently we’ve given our word to not embarrass him.

 

[Chris Craig]

They need to be going to him inside

 

[bobf]

C’mon Blazers no more room for laziness or mental lapses. CJ/Melo don’t freakin’ try to take over the game.

Fucking Embarassing Melo

he embarrasses himself with his defense who cares

Agree 1000%

 

[B-Roy]

I'm not the biggest fan of CJ on offense, but he is busting his ass on defense. Melo has no excuses. After allowing Bridges to dunk on him, he just walked back like that wasn't his fault. Doesn't even bother playing.

They will try and take over the game, that's what they do. Hopefully they hit their shots

 

[Scalma]

We’re losing because Charlotte has better personnel imo.

 

[Mr. Robot]

this team has more potential on both ends of the floor

thank you, terry stotts!

 

[bobf]

We don’t want finess scoop

 

[brooklynballer]

And how often has that happened during Terry’s tenure? They usually come out with their heads even more firmly lodged up their heinies.

 

[bobf]

That looks like a 20% three point shot to me

 

[bobf]

Nurk goes up to early to far from the hoop.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Maybe the players are trying to get Stotts fired?

 

[B-Roy]

Shoot the ball RoCo

 

[DDolla]

What an embarrassment

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why would we play off Rozier two times in a row?

 

[Cugel]

shoulda called time after the first 3 terry. now it's fucked.

 

[Chris Craig]

Still no DJJ. Maybe some garbage time

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas is getting their ass kicked too
