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

I don't ever wanna here that Kanter can't hedge or trap ever again. Terry doesn't have to drop him...

He's had flashes of executing all 3 to some level of effectiveness

Definitely agree that getting aggressive with him is the best option in this game though. Especially with Utah's cold shooting.

 

[JDC]

Ant continuing to make 2-3 defensive plays per game that we never saw the first half of the year

Love it

 

[bobf]

High IQ ball Nurk!

 

[crandc]

Stop falling in love with three. Use clock, get higher percentage shot.

[BlazerBeav]

Make shots and this is done. Playing great defense!

 

[B-Roy]

What is this offense? Holy shit CJ.

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Dame and finish this game

 

[illmatic99]

this is a defensive slugfest

unbelievable defense by utah tbh.

 

[B-Roy]

unbelievable defense by utah tbh.

Not really. We waste 15 seconds dribbling the hell out of the ball before doing anything. This is on CJ running zero offense.

 

[crandc]

I am asking politely. Blazers, could you please kindly make a shot?

 

[JDC]

We are seeing what having a guard or wing on the floor that can be ignored allows you to do defensively.

Think Trent Forrest has chance to make it in the NBA, but he's a liability out there right now.

 

[EGame]

props for great defense this quarter and whole game really.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers locking down on D right now. What a pleasant surprise

 

[VenomXL]

MELO

 

[riverman]

MELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DDolla]

Amazing that the Blazers are actually playing some DEFENSE

 

[BlazerBeav]

Melooooooooooo! I am freaking out right now! We play defense!

 

[Cugel]

Throw in the towel Quinn

 

[James lamphear]

Great D shot clock violation and Melo hits a big 3.

 

[crandc]

Call him Mellow Melo, quite rightly.

 

[illmatic99]

this is a terrific performance by our team. let's get dame/cj out.

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers are doing a fairly good job of closing out on Utah shooters....by my gawd the Jazz have tossed up a pallet of bricks tonight. And the more open they are the worse they miss

 

[trailblazer18]

I like this version of the blazers!

 

[Scalma]

Nurk is a menace defensively.

[DDolla]
