Game Thread GAME# 65: KINGS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 7, 2020 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

CJ got a little mad there.

 

[Tince]

He certainly got his ass down in the post more.

He did? His three point attempts per game tripled after going to SAS.

 

[BlazerBeav]

That’s on the refs for swallowing their whistles

 

[TBpup]

Wish CJ would show that kind of fire on defense....

 

[hoopsjock]

What returning players from Game 7 do you think have less grit? CJ?

It's a whole organization line of thinking from management to coaching to the players.

 

[julius]

I think CJ is gonna get at least a game for trying to separate himself from the ref there.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh thank god a fight broke out so we don't have to watch the basketball

 

[illmatic99]

jesus dame is so freaking off

 

[BlazerBeav]

I am losing my mind with how many open looks bogdonovic is getting.

 

[TBpup]

Where was the foul? Lol....good 'fake' from Melo.

 

[Tince]

Interesting.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Dame's right...
Bogdonovic is great.

 

[Scalma]

If whiteside leaves Len would be another decent option.

 

[BlayZa]

just loaded up a stream for the other monitor while the UFC was inbetween fights.

we really getting abused by the Kings?

lordy, wish i hadnt have looked.

 

[TBpup]

Stotts defensive game plan must be to NOT guard Bog. There is almost no way otherwise a player could be that wide open time after time.

 

[illmatic99]

this is where you need energy and young legs. make a sub you fucking idiot

the blind faith in melo is ridiculous. this should be fireable

 

[blazerfan11]

Bingo

HOF coach doesn't make a 30 year old LMA better by being a hard ass, but jumping down a 35 year old Melo will make him a good defender apparently.

This is a growns man league, not JUCO ball.

Who said anything about being a hard ass? I meant hurt his feelings by putting him on the bench and/or taking him out of the starting unit.

 

[TBpup]

CJ may think he is all that on offense but Bog is having his way with him on defense. Play both sides CJ.

I misunderstood. Who do you think would be a significant upgrade off our loaded bench?

Edit: I agree with you that Melo isn't very good.

 

[hoopsjock]

Fuck you Whiteside!

You're gonna flex and act all hard down 20?

 

[illmatic99]

this team doesnt deserve this crowd

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck you Whiteside!

You're gonna flex and act all hard down 20?

he's done it all year

 

[Darkwebs]

In your face, Baze! That's for blowing so many lay-ups as a Blazer.

 

[illmatic99]

you can also pass, gary.

 

[julius]

That defensive sequence for CJ shows he actually can play defense, he's just forced to.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Gotten the stops to make a run but can’t make shots.

[BonesJones]

CJ shouldn't need a guy to almost fight him in order for him to try on defense. That's the problem with this team.

 

[BonesJones]

That defensive sequence for CJ shows he actually can play defense, he's just forced to.

Exactly. He isn't held accountable enough for his defense. He isn't challenged to provide maximum effort on that end. He doesn't get subbed out early when he's slacking on defense.

Then he gets a guy who almost swings on him and all of a sudden he plays lockdown defense.

 

[blazerfan11]

Anyone with the ability to play defense?
