Game Thread GAME# 65: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - MARCH 7, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

[blue9]

Three attacks on the hoop on a single possession by OKC. That’s an offense.

 

[KingSpeed]

One of our others have to show up now.

 

[TBpup]

Uh oh.....the Blazers need their 2nd comeback of the year to get the win.

 

[Jon]

Uh oh. Down going into the 4th...

 

[HailBlazers]

Good D Chief.

 

[DDolla]

Where is Moe? Chief? Hood? Jake? Enes? This is like the playoffs when no one is helping CJ and Dame.

 

[illmatic99]

Don't get the forced kanter minutes. he's a horrible fit tonight

Maybe I should just go to bed now. I gotta be up at 5.

Yup. We gotta closeout better though. Our closeouts suck.

 

[blue9]

Jake was in for 2 minutes....WTH?

He’s only good when he plays with good players. I’d prefer he doesn’t play with the ass crew - he deserves better.

 

[H.C.]

We need staggered screens on the perimeter with a rescreen.

Honestly while I don't think that's beyond Stotts.
I just don't see it happening.


All I want is the ball put in Nurk's hands and run a modified version of the Princeton offense.
If this game is close I'll live and die with Westbrick trying to play the hero.
Just hope he doesn't get smart and pass to PG13.

It's got to be Hood.

 

[B-Roy]

Go to the rim, play 5 on 4. At this point I'd just make Kanter jump on the pick and roll. At least there's a chance of screwing up their offense.

 

[DDolla]

CJ is back at PG, watch OKC make their run now.

 

[BonesJones]

Hes played good defense tonight. The past four points by Noel was because he had to rotate to cover for the Blazers giving up a ton of dribble drives on the perimeter and the weak side not rotating to take away the dump off. Just because it's his guy doesnt mean it's his fault.

 

[B-Roy]

Stotts has turned Hood into a glorified spot up shooter. That is not, and has never been Hood's game.

I just want them to force some turnovers and get in transition, and to quit playing against a set defense.

Huh Aminu showed up in playoffs and Dame didn’t play like this at all.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Jake was in for 2 minutes....WTH?

Terry's afraid George will rip him a new ass hole.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Yeah, motivated Moe would be nice in this game

 

[BonesJones]

Sigh.

 

[LayneStaley]

Is Nurk hurt?

I actually grumbled at my monitor when Curry cheated on the screen and gave up the easy drive that a 5 year old could see.

 

[kingslayer]

Nice block Kanter

 

[BonesJones]

ENES

 

[LuckyShot]

This dude who is ass 75 games a year is lighting us up.

 

[TBpup]

Stotts has turned Hood into a glorified spot up shooter. That is not, and has never been Hood's game.

He's done the same to Jake. That's all he's got this game.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy shit he got a block.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

OMG Kanter played D --- did hell just freeze over ??

 

[BonesJones]

Clear path?
