Game Thread Game #6 BLAZERS @ HORNETS - OCTOBER 31, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM, ROOT SPORTS

Seeing dame this cold is like watching your father cry. I’m in pain

 

[julius]

Lillard is killing us just like against Sacramento. This is bizarre.

His return was greatly exaggerated.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man give me an upcoming team on the rise than this shit we are doing every year

 

[Strenuus]

Nance at 15 minutes of game time.

 

[Paine Tablet]

If we lose it’s on Nurk

Not even close. 3-point shooting from starters IS the reason. 8-38 is atrocious!

 

[B-Roy]

Is nance in the doghouse or something

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

They know Lillard isn't a scoring threat at the moment. He is just squeezing air out of the ball before passing away

 

[Strenuus]

I'm not worried. Players slump. Only reason people are freaking out is because they don't understand basic logic like it's magnified cause it's the beginning of the season.

When you think about it, you get to the easy logic.

 

[Labinot41]

His body language is just bad. Still no effort on D from Dame and he's just chucking garbage shots.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Not doing well shooting or defending 3. That's OK as long as they learn from this.

And BTW, can we stop pretending everything is hunky-dory with Dame?

 

[Strenuus]

They know Lillard isn't a scoring threat at the moment. He is just squeezing air out of the ball before passing away

That's not true. It's Lillard. They aren't stupid.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Well another loss. Really the story of the season has to be Dame falling off a cliff this year

 

[Tince]

Make or miss league on the outside... plus the Hornets have found a way to get a lot more easy looks inside has put us behind the 8-ball. Need to get cooking!

 

[Strenuus]

It is. Basic logic says it. You're welcome.

 

[B-Roy]

Play nance what the fuck. This feels deliberate by Chauncey.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You think Morey still wants Dame ? Lol

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Now all the sudden the Blazers forgot how to play defense.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

We are missing a lot of open shots

Happens on the road.

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey riding the starters when the bench is playing better makes no sense to me. Especially since the Hornets are out working us.

 

[OneSport3]

Chauncey stuck with Dame or CJ too long. Ant has been cooking all night.

 

[Strenuus]

Now all the sudden the Blazers forgot how to play defense.

Yep. They are still learning things. Ever learned something and reverted back to an old habit?

 

[AldoTrapani]

That's not true. It's Lillard. They aren't stupid.

All you gotta do is let him shoot it this year. His numbers suck

 

[julius]

Just imagine if Dame hasn't aged 8 years during the off season.

 

[B-Roy]

Chauncey stuck with Dame or CJ too long. Ant has been cooking all night.

Bench all under 20mpg despite outplaying the starters.

 

[Strenuus]

Chauncey riding the starters when the bench is playing better makes no sense to me. Especially since the Hornets are out working us.

Now THIS is true.

 

[Labinot41]

I love Dame, but Billups talks about accountability. Take him out of this game now. He’s offering nothing not even the playmaking of the first half. Look at Lamelo, everything is running through him.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Another lazy attempt.

Nance should be playing….

CJ has NO “catch & shoot” attempts! All catch, juke, dribble, juke and miss…

 

[Strenuus]

Chauncey will learn from his mistake here.

 

[Predator]

Make or miss league on the outside... plus the Hornets have found a way to get a lot more easy looks inside has put us behind the 8-ball. Need to get cooking!

We have the same amount of points in the paint.
