Game Thread GAME# 57: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 21, 2020 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

The defense shouldn't be THIS bad.

 

[Darkwebs]

The Blazers are being outworked and outwitted.

 

[illmatic99]

i hate this season

 

[KSF-ERIC]

That's game right there.

We're at home. Lots of big comebacks around the league this season. Let's get to it. They may go cold from three.

 

[BlazerRx]

Well this got ugly quick... They got a lot of guys who can knock down 3 pointers.

 

[wizenheimer]

well, that sure was not the way to close a quarter

 

[James lamphear]

Josh Hart doesn't miss.

That why I wanted him at 26 pick and we selected swanigan. Plus he hard nose kid on D.

 

[TBpup]

On pace to give up around 135 points. That is....not good.

 

[Labinot41]

Ariza is the new Hood on this Team, good efficency but few shots

 

[BonesJones]

On pace to give up around 135 points. That is....not good.

It's typical of this team though. It's fucking ridiculous.

 

[Labinot41]

On pace to give up around 135 points. That is....not good.

That is GREAT

 

[B-Roy]

What is the game plan here? Might as well switch everything.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Terry with the quick timeout.

 

[wizenheimer]

I was expecting the Blazers to put up more of a fight than this, even short-handed. They've had 9 days off

 

[B-Roy]

Oh good Melo is hurt. Maybe we have a chance now.

 

[jlprk]

I'm turning it off. The one thing I learned from this game is that Hezonia looks like Redick, only taller. They both grease their hair.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Oh good Melo is hurt. Maybe we have a chance now.

What happened? I missed it.

 

[illmatic99]

i cant believe how bad we are.

 

[illmatic99]

What happened? I missed it.

tweaked his back trying to get the board. whiteside pushed his man into melo

 

[OneSport3]

The day that Terry Stotts is no longer the head coach will be a good day for this franchise.

 

[HailBlazers]

No matter how dumb or stubborn I may think he is, I thought just MAYBE after the 100th time giving up a wide open 3 this season that an assistant coach or someone might mention to him that it's not working.

You're insane

 

[KSF-ERIC]

i cant believe how bad we are.

Pelicans playing with a full deck and we aren't. Gotta get the Pistons on Sunday.

 

[BlazerBeav]

i cant believe how bad we are.

Can you honestly not? We have 1 of 5 starters available.

 

[hoopsjock]

The last 3 games through 3 quarters we've given up 102, 93, and 104.

Way to lock down the defense and focus for these important games!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

They're shooting 60% from three. We aren't. Game.

 

[BonesJones]

i cant believe how bad we are.

It's inexcusable. Even during our hot run, we still had all the issues we're seeing now. We haven't improved on them AT ALL this season, which is inexcusable from a coaching perspective IMO. After 57 games, You can't get your players to box out a little better? To close out a little better? To defend in transition a little better?

 

[TBpup]

Can you honestly not? We have 1 of 5 starters available.

Golden State beat us with 0 of 5 starters.....sometimes it's about effort.

 

[Natebishop3]

The absolute most annoying thing about this season is that it's another fucking excuse for Stotts to not get fired.

 

[Darkwebs]

Zion sucks at dodge ball.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Believe Harder?
