The Blazers aren't playing a good brand of basketball. Given up a ton of open 3s and hit some tough ones to start the game. Despite that, they're only up 7 to a terrible team. Not pleased with the way we've played so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

why do people ignore Gary's tunnel vision, but continually criticize melo? this unit does not pass period.

Probably because Gary shoots a better %, and plays defense on the other end. Not to mention Melo is a vet, so he should know what’s a good shot, while Trent is still a developing player.

 

[Labinot41]

6 minutes without a basket is really weird. Our team can be so unpredictable sometimes

 

[Tince]

CJ hurt?

 

[JDC]

Play off 2 feet, Nurk.

This one footed stuff just ain't gonna work.

 

[Darkwebs]

DJJ is everywhere on the court, like there’s two of him

 

[illmatic99]

what is this offense man

 

[MickZagger]

There’s a reason opposing defenses always leave JonesJr wide open at the 3 point line. They’re begging him to shoot it.

 

[TBpup]

Dame is definitely doing what he can to get Nurk going. Nurk misses so many bunnies at the rim.

 

[James lamphear]

Not good offense quarter by us.

 

[Tince]

Stotts listened to the message board and changed his rotations... it was a mistake though.

 

[twobullz]

Man If Nurk could finish around the rim. To many weak shots. Go strong

 

[BonesJones]

Melo and Kanter are in together again. Yay.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Stotts listened to the message board and changed his rotations... it was a mistake though.

He did listen to me for saying we need to start force feeding Nurk. While not 100%, we are better for it.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Man If Nurk could finish around the rim. To many weak shots. Go strong

It'll change. This was a legitimate criticism for sometime in Portland. He recognized it and got much better. I know he recognizes it now.

There’s a reason opposing defenses always leave JonesJr wide open at the 3 point line. They’re begging him to shoot it.

Absolutely... they're fine with DJJ + Nurk/Kanter taking outside shots, allowing defenses to always have 1 or 2 people available to help.

 

[James lamphear]

Good balance that players have of opportunity to score. Some not going very well but there involved. 11 assist that half could more if some these guys start making shots and Dame got 5 he heading for a double double. The bench only 13 points lead by Trent with 8.

 

[LayneStaley]

I like skinny play above the rim Nurk, this reminds me of 2019 Nurk, wasn’t a fan. If you are 7 feet tall and within 3 feet of the basket dunk the fu**ing ball.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hi

 

[Tince]

Nurks defense has really regressed

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Simons minus 6 in five minutes.

 

[Labinot41]

Chicago scores on every possession now

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sometimes that happens CJ, when you go 1 on 4.

 

[B-Roy]

Jogging on every defensive possession. Lmao. The arrogance of this team.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame still needs to work on lob passes

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Wish we had someone who knew how to throw a lob

 

[Labinot41]

This could end ugly if the Blazers don't decide to play any defense

 

[Darkwebs]

DJJ with a great impression of Superman. Damn, he soared there on that monster dunk!!

 

[TBpup]

Dame's lob passes are just terrible. He has such good vision elsewhere on the court but how you can miss a spot to perhaps the highest leaper in the league by so much are mind boggling.
