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

Put Kanter in and let Powell drive to the basket.

play #1 = what you suggested. Powell would have scored by driving.

play #2 = alley oop to DJJ and win with a bang

play #3 = CJ (he’s not Dame!)

play #4 = Mello bombs a long one

 

[blazedanugz]

lmao.

his hero ball was atrocious all game. His defense was atrocious. RHJ and nas covered up for him in the 4th

 

[wizenheimer]

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

that's true, but I remember him saying some things after he was traded that implied he was glad for a change of scene

 

[OneSport3]

I don’t get Stotts. He knows his seat is an inferno. Why continue to honor Olshey’s agreement with Melo when your job is on the line? Sit Melo to give your team the best chance to win. Fuck Olshey and his being the custodian of Melo’s legacy.

 

[Serbian]

What about Melo?

Melo is 37 years old and should not be playing more than 12 minutes max. But our idiot coach keeps playing him. CJ is in his prime and he plays like melo at age 37 except 10x worse defense

Can't wait to hear Stotts get pissy with Quick over the tough questions.

I would put money on him saying something about being happy with the effort.

Stotts wants to play Melo imo. He doesn’t care about defense. He’s obsessed with trying to outscore everyone.

Can't wait to hear Stotts get pissy with Quick over the tough questions.

Quick asked two questions:

What did you like about what Nas and RHJ brought to the game?
Do you have an update on Dame?

Both were professional questions and responses.

 

[Serbian]

The worst thing that can happen is miracle and we somehow get out of 1st round because of Dame and stotts gets new contract because neil loves stotts how else is .500 coach still employed by same team from 10 years. We need to implode miss playoffs. Stotts will be 100% gone and Lillard will become even more obsessed next year and get even more hungrier. CJ Melo and stotts need to be gone next year this is unwatchable

Quick went soft. Boo.

 

[Scalma]

Quick went soft. Boo.

he knows he won’t get an answer to tough questions so why even ask

what were the responses?

 

[wizenheimer]

I sure hope Blazers don't bring Dame back early because of desperation.

 

[Tince]

what were the responses?

Basically that he liked the energy Nas/RHJ provided and decided to stick with them down the stretch.

No update on Dame.

 

[OneSport3]

CJ and Melo combined 16-43 FG.

Because Dame doesn't talk to stotts anymore.

Dame is back Wednesday.

Stotts lost the locker room.

Why honor the person who is in charge of your employment? I think the answer is in your question.

 

[wizenheimer]

in last 5 games, CJ scored 112 points on 111 shots

Dame demanded a trade if they get rid of Stotts because he respects him so much. He said they're a package deal.

Wow... crazy stat!

All-star?

link?

link?

I was just responding to a made up story with a made up story.

 

[Tince]

Amazing to think we finished a game with 2 players who the rest of the league has written off in the last two years.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm just saying. He went to Chris Haynes before stotts to say he's coming back.

Writing is on the wall.

Holy fuck! If that isn’t the definition of a chucker I don’t know what is.

I agree that Stotts is highly unlikely to be the coach next year.

Stotts, like many coaches, acts like he knows nothing about injuries in an attempt to get the media to stop asking the questions. I would be shocked if he didn't know Dame was playing tomorrow. Do you really think he had no idea?

They’ve all tuned Stotts out. It’s obvious. Losing doesn’t even bother them anymore.
