Game Thread GAME# 70: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - MAY 12, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 6:30, ESPN & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

Lol easy layups and wide open 3s. Lol.

 

[TBpup]

1st '3' of the game.....from Enes off the bench.

Wonder what that would have paid in Vegas?

 

[Strenuus]

Had Kanter missed that..

 

[Strenuus]

Playing with fire there.

 

[Strenuus]

Dumb challenge by utah.

 

[James lamphear]

One thing our players don't move there feet very well especially lateral. Right now it's layin drill for Utah.

 

[VenomXL]

Haha. Way to get a foul on Gobert.

 

[Strenuus]

Lmfao Utah so fucking dumb hahahaha.

 

[VenomXL]

Oh my god.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm gonna laugh so hard if Gobert fouls out.

 

[Strenuus]

So.... how to kill all the momentum, by the blazers.

 

[VenomXL]

Four point play back breaker to end the quarter…

 

[PCmor7]

What are you doing fouling a jump-shooter?

 

[TBpup]

Given how this quarter started, only down 7 doesn't seem too bad. Still, they are without 2 of their best offensive players so was hoping for better.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Gross effort all around. Better hope that’s our worst quarter of the night.

 

[Strenuus]

Mmmmmmmmm I love a good Melo iso shot to end a quarter. Almost always sucks.

 

[LayneStaley]

Pretty sure Lillard didn’t even touch him. Too bad Terry couldn’t challenge it. Oh wait

One thing our players don't move there feet very well especially lateral. Right now it's layin drill for Utah.

In other words, they can't keep between their opponent and the basket. and we are talking about opponents like Bogdanovic and Ingles, who are not so swift of foot.

 

[James lamphear]

Utah is very well coach there players plays together as a team. We need to step it up because we definitely don't want to go in playing.

 

[BonesJones]

Melo's been terrible defensively already.

 

[BonesJones]

My goodness.....so much for the improved defense. And with their entire starting backcourt and 2 best offensive players missing. Utah looks good.

Would you say that good coaching can make up for injuries?

 

[Strenuus]

Pretty sure Lillard didn’t even touch him. Too bad Terry couldn’t challenge it. Oh wait

To make matters worse, stotts -an awful coach - could have challenged it and got it changed to Nurk and the 3 points wouldn't have counted.

But, that's stotts.

 

[James lamphear]

Melo's been terrible defensively already.

He not the only one.

 

[Strenuus]

Melo's been terrible defensively already.

He's never been good, so...

 

[Scalma]

Our second unit is gonna kill us in the play in slash playoffs

 

[LayneStaley]

Maybe we are better off missing the playoffs, ensuring a coaching change, and keeping our first rounder?

 

[Strenuus]

Maybe we are better off missing the playoffs, ensuring a coaching change, and keeping our first rounder?

Aldo, is that you?

 

[Strenuus]

Melo, only here because of olshey and his legacy and nothing else, made a 3.

 

[Jayblaze]

Ref will help lakers get the 6 seed

 

[Strenuus]

Just layup lines. These are real playoff teams. Does not bode well.
