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

[julius]

You know, I'm starting to think this team is mediocre.

 

[Tince]

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.

Which means we're in BIG trouble.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers best offense is just to chuck it up and let Kanter chase offensive rebounds.

 

[illmatic99]

Enes tries hard, man.

 

[B-Roy]

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

CJ.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

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

Yet another example of Stotts prioritizing offense over defense.

 

[calvin natt]

So is oversimplifying everything.

Huh. There’s a lot of reason they are losing. Simplifying is just blaming refs like we did in 7th grade.

 

[TBpup]

Wiggins just toys with CJ in the paint.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Pascall would easily be our 3rd best player

Stotts would just park him in the corner too.

 

[bobf]

CJ.

I don’t disagree but I don’t think it’s clear at all.

 

[Tince]

Yet another example of Stotts prioritizing offense over defense.

We haven't had any more success tonight with DJJ and Covington in vs Melo and Kanter.

 

[B-Roy]

If Terry sticks with Kanter/Melo after Curry comes in I think he is literally blind.

 

[Labinot41]

Honestly Kanters' been better than Nurk this season

Both have been liabilities defensively, but at least Kanter scores

 

[Irish Trader]

Well you might as well stick a fork in them tonight. No fight left to play defense to try and make a run at this team. Very sad effort

 

[illmatic99]

Honestly Kanters' been better than Nurk this season

Both have been liabilities defensively, but at least Kanter scores

Agreed. Enes has been bad defensively, but without his rebounding and effort, we'd be completely out of this game.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

We haven't had any more success tonight with DJJ and Covington in vs Melo and Kanter.

Nobody is having success on this team because Stotts is doing a horrible job at getting the best out of his players.

Especially our new acquisitions.

we're down 12. with an eternity left. and dame lillard on our team.

apples and oranges. The issue people have with Kanter/Melo is not Kanter or Melo, it’s Kanter AND Melo.

 

[wizenheimer]

I know Kanter's defense is bad...amd Melo + Kanter is a disaster....but the Blazers would be down 23 points in this game if it wasn't for Kamter's work on the offensive glass

 

[Tince]

Nurk really let the team down by coming into camp out of shape. Changes everything.

 

[LuckyShot]

Huh. There’s a lot of reason they are losing. Simplifying is just blaming refs like we did in 7th grade.

Right. And the refs are one of them. There's a lot of things being blamed here.

He should not play our new acquisitions like their previous coaches?

 

[James lamphear]

Why can't our big men put there hands up on opponent shots.

 

[calvin natt]

Right. And the refs are one of them. There's a lot of things being blamed here.

21 fouls on Portland, 20 on GS.

 

[Tince]

Kerr just relying on Steph to bail him out with Iso's and PnR's.

 

[TBpup]

Steph almost looks for CJ to be guarding him. Trent does better but Curry is torching CJ.

 

[LuckyShot]

21 fouls on Portland, 20 on GS.

LOL like I said, you're a waste of time.

 

[BigGameDamian]

STOP SHOOTING SO MANY THREES!

 

[B-Roy]

Melo lol.

 

[illmatic99]

ok enough Melo. Put Roco in
