Game Thread GAME# 59: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - APRIL 23, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[VenomXL]

That’s such a dumb shot by CJ. Takes a side step three before he even has a teammate inside the three point line.

 

[VenomXL]

Grizzlies have 38 points in the paint.

 

[Hoopguru]

They push the ball and dominate in the paint.
We need to do the same.

 

[VenomXL]

Make that 40 in the paint.

The second quarter was a better effort but they’re still being outplayed pretty badly.

 

[Cugel]

morant unstoppable

 

[James lamphear]

This team has bad habit to give up points right when the quarter ends.

 

[Scalma]

I don’t think I hate anything more than possessions where only one guy touches the ball, and it seems like no coach enables it more than Stotts.

 

[illmatic99]

straight line drives to the rim.

that's what we give up. and no resistance from nurk or kanter.

 

[DDolla]

What about another 1 point lost. That would be awesome and we will hold the 7th seed.

 

[Chris Craig]

morant unstoppable

I wish Dame was unstoppable

That’s such a dumb shot by CJ. Takes a side step three before he even has a teammate inside the three point line.

wasnt he going 2 for 1?

Yes one thing wrong with Stotts no accountability with his two guards that just might put him out of a job.

 

[calvin natt]

straight line drives to the rim.

Yes. But I don’t blame those two for it. Straight line drives are squarely on the perimeter defenders.

 

[MickZagger]

We just aren’t very good.

They take hard shots and well defended shots without even working the ball around for a good shot.

Our defense compounds things.

The greatest coaches of all time preached a simple philosophy; ball movement, player movement.

 

[MickZagger]

I don’t think I hate anything more than possessions where only one guy touches the ball, and it seems like no coach enables it more than Stotts.

Oh that’s the worst. I remember those great Spurs teams. They’d drive and kick it out 3 times in a possession if it meant an open look.

 

[DDolla]

Dame 8 points for a guy who can get 25 a quarter. smh

 

[wizenheimer]

wasnt he going 2 for 1?

that was RoCo on the drive where he got a shooting foul

 

[Hoopguru]

Is Little injured again?

 

[James lamphear]

CJ is shooting alright but Dame and Powell is 4-17. If your going play a guard oriented offense then you need all 3 hitting. CJ been impressive on the boards lately.

 

[MickZagger]

Most sad part is that we’ve been shit since Powell got here. He probably won’t resign with this garbage offense.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm trying to remember a stretch of basketball in a game when I thought Portland was in control...it's been a long time

 

[illmatic99]

that was RoCo on the drive where he got a shooting foul

youre right. i was misremembering.

 

[MickZagger]

Told ya Dame fell off like crazy. Feast or famine. Right now it’s been famine for weeks and weeks..

We need the lottery pick

A pick is a pick and it’s nice to have one. But what player in the 14-17 pick in the draft is going to make a huge difference. What we need is a new coach with a clue. We have nice personnel.

 

[calvin natt]

Is Little injured again?

Yeah where is Little?

 

[illmatic99]

Most sad part is that we’ve been shit since Powell got here. He probably won’t resign with this garbage offense.

our net rating indicates otherwise. we've always been shit, we're just playing better opponents now

 

[Scalma]

Yeah where is Little?

lmao you think Stotts gives a fuck about him? Nas getting benched the moment he started missing some shots was the most predictable thing ever.

 

[James lamphear]

Is not good brand of basketball and definitely this brand carry them a lot of years it's just finally caught up to them on both ends.

 

[Scalma]

I can’t wait until I get the alert that Stotts is fired idc if it happens tomorrow or at the end of the season I’m going to celebrate like we just won a championship

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nice move by Nurk!

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is good Nurkic. Tonight he’s a difference maker.
