Game Thread GAME# 61: BLAZERS @ PACERS - APRIL 27, 2021 - TUESDAY, 4:00, NBCSNW

[BlazerBeav]

Even better! Now we give them a point on a technical! We are so fucking dumb.

 

[Duckhook]

Try listening to Kent and Hurd lol

No thanks. The only duos worse than our guys are Houston and Utah.

 

[TBpup]

Dame with the after the half ended technical. That is as mad as I see him get. #Frustration

 

[BlazerBeav]

We just allowed 6 points to Indiana with them having just one possession to close the half. RIDICULOUS.

 

[Chris Craig]

It's OK. Dame needs to get angry

 

[James lamphear]

Really the last part that quarter the offense function properly but again Dame that still struggling takes the last shot quarter I am starting to question how smart he is. Anyone one the players been shooting better then him instead setting one them he takes a shot.

 

[Blazinaway]

Our 2 starting guards has 0 assist so there not set anyone up to get them in rythem.

5 point turn around with that by CJ.

what an idiot he is

 

[Duckhook]

I agree with you. I like seeing the fire... I’m tired of the wining after every perceived non-call on offense. Get mad!

 

[Mr. Robot]

not looking good so far

 

[wizenheimer]

Simons was hothothot. It's amazing he doesn't get more shots blocked with that low release of his.

and Portland hot from 3 and abusing the Pacers on the offensive glass...lethal combination

and if it's ok with Labinot if I shoot some praise at Dame, the game turned defensively when Dame was switched onto Brogdon. He stopped Brogdon when CJ and Jones couldn't. Dame is getting lots of contact on his shots and drives

 

[Natebishop3]

It's ok everyone. I have lifted the curse on the team. I unsubbed from youtube TV because I didn't want to pay $70 a month anymore. I guess that did it.

 

[Blazinaway]

I did not realize how much Powell's shooting has declined since being in Portland - he was shooting almost 44% from 3 with Tor and with POR he is shooting the 3 at a 33% clip - almost an 11% drop! Yikes, his overall FG% is down over 5 % as well with POR. Trent's 3 pt shooting has declined over 3% with Toronto - so far the trade hasn't helped either of them IMO

 

[James lamphear]

We shooting over 50 percent out rebound them by 16 and had 12 assist but only 1 assist by our point guard.

that's actually a 25% drop in his 3pt percentage

Well Toronto they actually move the ball and there players actually moved so they he probably in a rythem in Toronto. Here they stand most of the time and hard to get a rythem.

best passing guard tonight has been Simons, while only credited with one assist he made several really nice passes

 

[Blazinaway]

you are correct regarding the percentage drop, I meant to say his "shooting percentage from 3" has declined from almost 44% to 33% - that being 11 percentage points which is very large decline

 

[Blazinaway]

LOL, yeah maybe Gary has to "adjust" to getting "rhythm shots", bottom line is ya gotta be able to make open 3's and Powell has missed a good chunk of them with POR

 

[bobf]

He is like a stream of bats' piss: he shines forth in the darkness

(That's an obscure Monty Python quote for you)

Ahhhh... at first I thought it was Buddhism.

 

[James lamphear]

Staying aggressive on offense but Dame get others involved.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Powell currently has zero points.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Man we cannot buy whistles on drives.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We play better on the road. Probably because CJ leaves his wine behind

 

[Natebishop3]

Powell currently has zero points.

Is this the new thing that you're going to harp on?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Just a nightmare game for Norm

 

[Tince]

Start prepping for the championship parade!

Edit: oops, wrong message board.

 

[illmatic99]

whose idea was it to switch every pick and roll?

it's working.

we haven't done this all season

 

[TBpup]

Good job! Beating up on this shell of a Pacers team as they should.

Nice to see.

 

[BlazerBeav]

It looks somewhat functional. Indiana as depleted as they are should get blown out, but at this point the fact that they are is a nice change.

 

[James lamphear]

I guess that T lit a fire up with the rest of the team. I wonder what was said in that locker at half time did someone get piss and said something at half time maybe Dame finally spoke harshly at half what ever it was it work.

 

[TBpup]

Now that is unselfish basketball. Dame could have taken that shot but gets it out to the red-hot Simons for the '3'.
