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

[Serbian]

This one step closer for stotts not coming back next year. CJ is horse shit. I want his ass traded. Just pathetic on defense last 2 min. Stotts never makes defensive substitutions. CJ should never be in lineup on last possessions. And stotts just too dumb. Just too dumb

 

[illmatic99]

Not having RoCo in at the end is just fucking absurd.

like we literally saw the exact same shit against Boston.

but here we are again

 

[wizenheimer]

that fuggin sucks

really thought they were going to break thru and win this one but some questionable shot selection in the last 2 minutes did them in. PG13 didn't help either

Portland could have signed Rondo but they decided to spent 2 million more on Jones

 

[AldoTrapani]

Keep on going, we’re almost on the 7th spot

good keep dropping

 

[Labinot41]

Stotts is scared of Melo, i have no other Explanation

or ya now. Batum over Melo

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Another game where plus/minus confirms the eye test; CJ and Melo with the worst plus/minuses on the team. minus 8 and minus 9

 

[VenomXL]

we aren't REQUIRED to do shit to him now. our dumbass coach makes these calls

It sounds like when he agreed to resign for this season there were expectations set with the front office and coaching staff. They are “guardians of his legacy” after all.

 

[James lamphear]

CJ could got to the foul line when pg jump up to contest the shot all do had to make contact with him. He had him up in the air make contact with some how make contact with him.

 

[DDolla]

Why did Paul George shoot FT when he is not in the act of shooting?

 

[BonesJones]

We win this game if CJ doesn’t play

lmao.

 

[wizenheimer]

or ya now. Batum over Melo

yeah, they could have signed Batum and still stayed under the tax line....but, I'd be kind of surprised if Batum would have had any interest at all in playing for Stotts again

+1

This is not twice at end of games rocco on bench And nobody will call him out from media. Why is CJ in the game on defensive possessions??? Worst defender of all guards in nba. CJ just low IQ. All i ever wanted was stotts gone and CJ traded nothing else

 

[James lamphear]

Jefferson needs to be sign the rest of the year tonight he show me he deserved it.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why did Paul George shoot FT when he is not in the act of shooting?

Because the Clippers needed to win

 

[wizenheimer]

portland was in the penalty

 

[B-Roy]

Now Dame is coming back early because he can't sit on the sidelines and watch this shit anymore.

I really just want this season to end. Take our first round L and PLEASE for the love of god clean house this summer. It's crazy that the Blazers just wasted a season to boost Melo's ego, but here we are. I don't even know if I can hate Melo as much as the Blazers who have enabled it. This is honestly the least enjoyable season in over 6 years. Last time I felt this level of hopelessness with the team was when Wes tore his achilles and it was clear that iteration of the team was done.

he got everything he wanted with stotts after nate handcuffed him for years

 

[e_blazer]

FUCK!

That is all.

Roco got like 2 shot attempts tonight

 

[Strenuus]

I love a good rhetorical question.

Okay this gave me a great chuckle.

Comedy is rooted in truth after all.

 

[calvin natt]

How does a .500 coach keep his job for 9 years? Clean house and keep Dame, Powell, Nas, and Roco. Build around that I guess.

Good question, one that’s never been asked in here before.

 

[B-Roy]

or ya now. Batum over Melo

Or just never signed Melo. They could have signed a stack of toilet rolls and be in a better position.

Our best game we've played all season is the ONE game Melo didn't play.

 

[hoopsjock]

The Blazers fall to the Clippers tonight in what was one of the most heartbreaking losses of the season. Come join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show and talk about the game!

What about Melo?

 

[Scalma]

Melo our backup 4/5 had 3 rebounds in nearly 30 minutes lolll

 

[wizenheimer]

and...what is going on with RoCo? 5 points on three shots in the last two games?

does Dame just do a better job of getting RoCo involved?

 

[Strenuus]

You know what, this game didn't get us high enough... BUT ITS 4/20 SO WE CAN DO THAT SHIT OURSELVES.

Melo is bad but il take melo over CJ. I despise everything about CJ. Lazy worst defender. Low IQ iso brick master . The team was much better with Lillard and no CJ. Just trade cj fire stotts and bye bye melo.

Remember guys, the goal is just to make the playoffs for the streak to continue. Not to win but just make it.
