Game Thread GAME# 58: PISTONS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 23, 2020 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

this is embarassing

 

[Chris Craig]

Here come the pistons

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Horrible

 

[illmatic99]

how does a coach not call a timeout during this debacle?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sigh.

 

[PDXFonz]

Working tonight...

Check the score and we are up 17 - “Okay there we go boys, blow them out by 40 like the raptors did to the pacers. No such thing as the mercy rule in the NBA”

Check the score again and we are up 3 - “Well that just figures, doesn’t it?”

UGH!

 

[Chris Craig]

Took a 21-5 run to call a timeout? Wtf Terry?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Wow, just noticed the game is tied.

 

[VenomXL]

This team is so bad. Nearly unwatchable.

 

[James lamphear]

Is Ariza playing for Detroit tonight already 4 turnovers.

He did call one when the lead got down to 9 I think

 

[HailBlazers]

that sounds like Portland.

From the Blazers Players coaches etc

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Wow, just noticed the game is tied.

Probably the same time Terry noticed!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Helps that they have 15 free throw attempts to our.....0.

 

[42N8Bounce]

I wonder what the record is for scoring difference in two consecutive quarters.

Blazers scored 40 in the first. 5:30 into the second quarter, Blazers have 3 points. 19 point lead all gone.

Wow.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Simons and Hezonja have to be two of the worst bench players in the league. And the scary part is Neil / Terry would have had both of them in the rotation even without the injuries.

 

[illmatic99]

pathetic.

he decided he had to make a point to bench nas though.

Dude I don’t like talking shit or looking down on any of our guys cause at the end of the day it’s ride or die... That being said Terry is falling out of favor with me and it’s all because of ish like you said. Poor timeout management, refusal to adjust substitution rotation based on the game. Those are my two biggest gripes on him.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Went and looked TO was called at 9:44 when the score was 43-34.

I was thinking...the refs don't give a shit about the pistons. Damn

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sorry if that came across like an argument. Wasnt my intent.

 

[illmatic99]

look at how much harder they're playing

 

[Labinot41]

Haha omg

 

[PDXFonz]

It’s not going well, let’s put in our worst players and hope things turn around.

-Terry Stotts probably

 

[wizenheimer]

Bucks get to play teams like this 4 times each. No wonder their record so good.

Portland gets to play Minny 4 times

Detroit 19-39
Minny 16-38

 

[illmatic99]

why is there no update on Nurkic?

he has to post teasing shit on social and we all get hyped, but no news apparently.

I hate how this team manages this stuff

 

[RR7]

2000's night has Travis Outlaw, Damon Stoudamire and Barret? That's as sad as this 2nd quarter.

 

[illmatic99]

melo cant play this many minutes consecutively. how can we all tell this but our coach can't?

 

[PDXFonz]

Portland gets to play Minny 4 times

Detroit 19-39
Minny 16-38

Minny has to play the Lakers, Nuggets, Mavs, Jazz, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, Rockets, Thunder, Pelicans, Kings, Suns, and Warriors 4x

See what I did there?

 

[B-Roy]

Melo needs to be taken out to the back like Old Meller.
