Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 3, 2021 - SUNDAY, 5:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

We also too busy complaining about officiating. Just play.

 

[LuckyShot]

Stop fouling

Well, Mr. Waste of My Time, in theory that might make sense, but when the guys calling the fouls are calling absolute bullshit there's not much you can do to try to both play defense and "stop fouling".

 

[Irish Trader]

Love the way the refs call games fairly.

We certainly have not been getting any calls. Lollards has been getting hammered

terry needed a technical about 2 quarters ago

 

[wizenheimer]

maybe it's me being a homer but I swear Dame has been fouled a half dozen times in this game without a call

 

[AFully22]

Can’t play Kanter. He may be the worst defender in the league, definitely the worst among big men. The whole league knows this, except for Stotts. His rebounding and offense isn’t worth how abysmal he is on defense. Gotta give Giles minutes.

 

[BlazerRx]

From what I've seen we are setting him up too far from the hoop. He catches the ball 20 feet from the rim and has to put the ball on the floor and defenders have more time to react and get in his way.

Definitely agree, although he has a decent midrange shooting touch and sometimes I wish he would just stop and take that wide open shot.

 

[Tince]

He's a bad defender. He's not even close to our biggest liability tonight.

Also, if Stotts is the only one in the league who doesn't know this, why is Olshey putting him on or roster, twice?

Blaming refs is weak.

 

[Jon]

Refs are being trash

 

[B-Roy]

Kanter Melo. Lmao.

 

[TBpup]

Tuned in late. Melo bricklaying as many shots as Jones/RoCo combined? Only 12 assists.
Can see why we are behind.

 

[bobf]

Nurks play is depressing. There was a time when he was easily our second be player. Now it’s hard to tell who our second best player is.

 

[BlazerRx]

If kanter was only half as good as defending as he is on the offensive boards...

 

[B-Roy]

Nurks play is depressing. There was a time when he was easily our second be player. Now it’s hard to tell who our second best player is.

It’s clear who it is.

 

[James lamphear]

This is real bad coaching right now because Kanter can't guard a fly out there.

 

[Cugel]

Start Giles. Nurk can't rebound and can't make layups.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Our coach definitely has a learning disability.

 

[bobf]

You can’t make a comeback with this units defense.

 

[B-Roy]

Terry will ride with Kanter Melo to the grave.

 

[illmatic99]

Gary just shot a fadeaway baseline 20 foot jumpshot against a double team.

Dude is just buying into his hype. PASS THE BALL.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow blazers are garbage I’m sorry guys. Half our losses have been blow outs. Nurkic is overrated, the Roco trade has been worthless, Jones jr doesn’t really excel with the way Terry Stotts coaches, this whole shit is a disaster

 

[Labinot41]

Is Trent allergic to passing the ball everytime he gets it you know it’s going up

 

[AldoTrapani]

Pascall would easily be our 3rd best player

 

[LuckyShot]

Blaming refs is weak.

So is oversimplifying everything.

 

[TBpup]

He is buying into this teams style of play. Sad...

 

[bobf]

It’s clear who it is.

Trent, CJ, Roco, DJJ, Nurk? I’m guessing you mean Trent?

 

[AFully22]

He's a bad defender. He's not even close to our biggest liability tonight.

I disagree. Plenty have been bad, Kanter has been the worst. The entire league sees him on the floor and focus their offense around attacking him. There’s not another player on our roster that happens to. Including our guards.

 

[julius]

Cannot play Kanter and Melo at the same time.

And honestly, until Nurk stops playing like he's Vladimir Stepania, i say give Giles a chance.

 

[BlazerRx]

Nurks play is depressing. There was a time when he was easily our second be player. Now it’s hard to tell who our second best player is.

A couple a seasons ago he definitely was our second best player, this year so far hasnt even played like a top 5. Cj is definitely our second best player imo.
