Game Thread GAME# 59: CELTICS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2020 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

This team is absolutely moronic but it starts at the top. No accountability.

 

[DDolla]

Hey at least we saved Jody some money this year so it’s actually a successful season.

 

[illmatic99]

Stevens out-coaching Stotts so far with that screening action on Hassan. Will Stotts have an adjustment? (I ask rhetorically....)

refs can call an offensive foul on that every time

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I think Boston doesnt have a true superstar. A collection of some very talented players, but I am not sure they have the type of guy who can be there, Kawhi, or LBJ, or KD.

Lately, Tatum has become that kind of player. Looking VERY good as an All Star in this league.

 

[blazerfan11]

The concept of the Blazer offense seems to be to make the defense work as little as possible.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Omg do I love this team. Their damn good. Kemba Walker isn’t even playing and their still super elite. They are way better than us it’s not even close

Sly, can you give this guy a link to the Boston forum?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Have I mentioned I hate this season? I hate this season.

Me too. I think literally all I am coming back for is hope that Nurks gonna be healthy and play someday.

I would agree with that.
Only saying I remember watching Kemba Walker take over the NCAA tourney...
Not the same, but he has some "dogg" in him.

 

[James lamphear]

This a track meet Boston doing to us right get the rebound and go and we have anyone right now to step and get after everybody to get back on defense.

 

[hoopsjock]

What's funny is all year we keep Dame, or in this case CJ, in the whole 1st and 3rd quarters. What ends up happening is the opposing team closes the quarter strong and builds their lead further (or takes the lead if they're down). Then Stotts is forced to not take them out in the 4th or give them very little rest. Even when we had a healthier roster it was this way.

The guy screening Hassan would’ve fouled out by now if moving screens were being called.

Its the WCF’s thats how they beat them too. Draymond gets the board runs full speed the Blazers jog back he gets a layup/ Dunk or passes to a wide open shooter.

 

[James lamphear]

Leadership is failing in this game. By veterans and our coaching staff.

 

[B-Roy]

Wenyen makes defensive plays every game. Stotts doesn’t reward the guys that play hard.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Maybe? Weve seen him have really good stretches before, Im just not sure he’s actually good enough in a playoff series to that against Milwaukee or Toronto.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dammit

 

[illmatic99]

WHY not pass to Little ?

 

[TBpup]

Ant has become very CJ-ish in his Iso's.

 

[James lamphear]

Right now Whiteside and Swanigan has to be the 2 slowest center in this getting back on defense.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

What are you talking about? He's in the game. He's getting minutes. What reward do you want him to get?

 

[kjironman1]

Ha Ha Ha! Now they got the bench clown show going. Biggie, Gabriel, Little and 1M all at the same time.
If ya gonna suck you might as well suck bad!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I wish.

 

[Wade Garrett]

That's the thing with them.
You guys asking if Tatum can come up big.
I mentioned Kemba.
And Gordo is a stud.
I dunno......maybe?

 

[illmatic99]

CJ is about to play 40+ again

 

[JDC]

Maybe? Weve seen him have really good stretches before, Im just not sure he’s actually good enough in a playoff series to that against Milwaukee or Toronto.

Might have the opportunity to see him against both in the playoffs.

Still not sure who I'd favor in Tor-Bos series though. Both teams are great.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

At least they are playing hard.

 

[illmatic99]

refs really about to give them the ball? we won the tip assholes

Yeah when that inbound save goes through your legs you better hurry and get back on defense.

 

[illmatic99]

jesus, go over the screen
