Game Thread GAME# 57: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 20, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:00, TNT

[bobf]

Good D by Little lucky bad shot by Georgette Paul.

 

[VenomXL]

Outscored by eight in the quarter but still alive.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow, a million-dollar move and a million-dollar finish by Ant over PG13, who is supposed to be a good defender!

 

[DDolla]

Here comes the Clippers defense when it matters

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If we had Rondo instead of them, I think we would be up by 10.

 

[James lamphear]

Pathic offense by this team i wouldn't give shit how many points CJ score he totally not team player.

 

[bobf]

Or maybe not.

Squeaked by on that one.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck down four after three...Clips start with the ball. Probably be down 7

 

[B-Roy]

CJ 9/22 for 21 points. Melo 2/10 for 11 points

most of these are just iso shots

 

[illmatic99]

is there some mandate that only CJ and Melo can shoot?

 

[VenomXL]

Need to find a way to get Norm shots. Did he even take one in the third?

 

[blazedanugz]

CJ has been the biggest issue by far in this game. Absolute ball hog... absolutely atrocious on D. I actually saw Stotts yell at him after a defensive possession

 

[Chris Craig]

Need to find a way to get Norm shots. Did he even take one in the third?

No

 

[BlazerRx]

Glad we stuck around in the third quarter..... With the offense basically just being just give it to cj. Was there maybe one or two assists that whole quarter?

 

[Labinot41]

feels like a typical Blazers game where they can hang on for 3 quarters and then get torched in the 4th

 

[OneSport3]

He need to attack and get to the FT line

You’re not going to get to the line much if all you do is shoot fadeaway jumpers and floaters. CJ avoids contact.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Need to find a way to get Norm shots. Did he even take one in the third?

And Roco; it seems the more he shoots the better he shoots.

 

[BigGameDamian]

A finish at the rim by Ant. Rare.

A drive to the rim is rare by Ant. Yet he won the dunk contest.

 

[bobf]

Yeah, how? He touched his hand

Guess the rule is it didn’t affect the shot because it was well after the release. Never seen anyone get away with that interpretation though.

 

[VenomXL]

Ant draws the three point foul!

 

[crandc]

A's won. After starting season 0-6, they have win 10 consecutive games and are tied for first.

 

[bobf]

A drive to the rim is rare by Ant. Yet he won the dunk contest.

Jones is not a great finisher at the rim either when contested.

 

[Labinot41]

I would hate to play alongside CJ, you gotta cover his lazy ass on defense all the time and on offense you won't touch the ball

 

[bobf]

A's won. After starting season 0-6, they have win 10 consecutive games and are tied for first.

So Blazers are going on a run vs top teams.

 

[DDolla]

I hate Melo... oh wait

 

[Cugel]

Nas is the catalyst

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nice shot by Melo!

 

[VenomXL]

Sweet behind the back dribble into the jumper for Melo. Little is beasting on the boards.

 

[B-Roy]

Now is the perfect time to take Melo out.

 

[Scalma]

Nas and RHJ are doing the little things right now
