Game Thread GAME# 56: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - FEBRUARY 11, 2019 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[TBpup]

I’m still upset Pritchard traded pg to okc. If he was here, this blazer team would be a contender.

Neil offered a bunch of draft picks but wouldn't offer CJ. Maybe he didn't want to trade with Portland....but Neil made it easy to say 'No'.

 

[Veletin123]

First game we get to watch via TV in Bosnia for a while and not a good one..

 

[Scalma]

I hope we give CJ 30 shots tonight to get hot.

 

[Titan]

Man sure wish we won last night.

 

[Rhal]

This OKC defense reminds me a lot of Draymond playing D. They are going to foul mulitple times every possessions but the refs wont call it everytime and eventually the refs just start letting you get away with murder. Wish we played D like that.

 

[ripcityboy]

Why is even spending time having CJ running the point? Is he friggin stupid?

 

[TBpup]

fuck CJ yes but fuck Stotts even more for enabling his BULLSHIT

Team...6-11
CJ........3-8
.....and stagnating the offense every time he touches the ball tonight. Not the quick decision 'good' CJ from just a few games ago.

 

[SynTax]

Man. The defense we're play on PG is good, but he just doesn't care.

 

[TBpup]

Oh good, to make it even worse, CJ guarding PG13 on that play.

 

[Rhal]

We just need to keep it within reach because eventually they will slow down from 3 and we will get a chance for a nice run.

 

[Titan]

Zach, work on your free throws

 

[Rhal]

The thunder get away with a lot of moving scrreens. Would like to see us fight a little harder thorugh those and make the refs call it one way or the other.

 

[Titan]

Even Felton making us look bad

 

[TBpup]

Felton licking his sugar coated lips when he sees CJ's defense.

 

[illmatic99]

What is this defense

 

[Rhal]

I don't think we are playing bad D, the thunder are just hitting some hard shots and we are doing crap on the offensive end. Stotts is going to have to actually make some adjustments if we want to keep this from being a blowout.

 

[TBpup]

WHEN will Stotts hold players accountable for....Defense?

 

[James lamphear]

We look like lottery team not playoff team right now.

 

[DDolla]

Man. The defense we're play on PG is good, but he just doesn't care.

Yep now we are looking for a 3 game losing streak before the all-star

 

[Jade Falcon]

This is pathetic.

There's nothing else I can really say. Kind of struggling to find a reason to keep watching.

 

[Rhal]

WHEN will Stotts hold players accountable for....Defense?

He hasn't ever shown it with any team he has coached so im saying.... 2032 when he is coaching in the G league.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't think we are playing bad D, the thunder are just hitting some hard shots and we are doing crap on the offensive end. Stotts is going to have to actually make some adjustments if we want to keep this from being a blowout.

Wide open shots and straight line drives to the rim. No help, no cohesion, what game are you watching

 

[ripcityboy]

We just need to keep it within reach because eventually they will slow down from 3 and we will get a chance for a nice run.

Laughs. No we won'r. Westbrook and George will just take turns gettiing hot while we struffle to get tough shots. Look at all the open looks they get. That's on Terry. Look at the none we get. That's why we lose games. For every bucket we get they hit one in transition within 5 second going the other way.

 

[DDolla]

This is pathetic.

There's nothing else I can really say. Kind of struggling to find a reason to keep watching.

This team is not even top 4, our records looks great only because we have a lot of home games.

 

[Jade Falcon]

We look like lottery team not playoff team right now.

Even better: we're in that area of not being bad enough for a lottery pick, but not being good enough to win.

So we'll continue to draft projects and mediocre college players whom nobody has ever heard of.

 

[illmatic99]

Third wide open three for this Burton fellow

 

[Rhal]

Wide open shots and straight line drives to the rim. No help, no cohesion, what game are you watching

We'v had some horrible break downs that make it seem like we are playing way worse then we are because those are the ones easily remembered.

 

[Rhal]

Stotts needs to put Dame back in, so what if he has 2 fouls.

 

[trailblazer18]

If we are going to get blown out, I'm glad Deonte Burton is having a nice game at least (Iowa State grad).

 

[Titan]

I didn’t know they are allowed to show porn on this network cus the blazers are getting fucked by the thunder.
