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

[Strenuus]

Finally Blazers score.

 

[VenomXL]

What an awful start.

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers awful shooting to start.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk blows a Layin then walks back and leaves Gobert uncontested at the rim.

 

[EGame]

This start looks a lot like the real Blazers against the upper echelon. Hopefully they can wake up and get the win.

 

[DDolla]

This is a blow out.

 

[VenomXL]

Lot of straight line drives for Utah. That’s…not gonna work.

 

[Strenuus]

Come on Blazers, the first big game of the year and you come out like this. You're better than this.

 

[James lamphear]

Defense bad we can't stay in front of anyone. Nurk just bad when you get out run down the court.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk blows a Layin then walks back and leaves Gobert uncontested at the rim.

Covington should have picked up Gobert. No one on this team helps each other. Who cares if Nurk didn't get back, it's also on the team to be smart.

Just sloppy, undisciplined play on both offense and defense. Both are characteristic of Stotts's time here in Portland. Clear from the get go this group had no fucking clue what they were doing.

 

[DDolla]

Nurk don’t know how to side step so he rushes his shots and missed.

 

[Cugel]

what, 4 uncontested layins?

 

[VenomXL]

Another layup.

 

[EGame]

lol gg

 

[Strenuus]

Just.... oof. Layup line.

 

[VenomXL]

Their defense looks awesome. Haven’t seen them play much this season.

 

[Strenuus]

Lmfao. Its just funny at this point.

 

[crandc]

Horrible start

 

[crandc]

And Mavs up big.

 

[BonesJones]

Are the Blazers the best team in the NBA?

 

[VenomXL]

Nice block Nurk!

 

[Strenuus]

I have an odd feeling Trent forest is going to have a career night lol

 

[TBpup]

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

 

[VenomXL]

Most of their points have been layups.

 

[Strenuus]

Clarkson had a 41 point 0 assist game hahaha.

 

[James lamphear]

We settle down a little bit still offense is not producing with cold shooting.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Sort of stabilized. Need to start hitting threes.

 

[DDolla]

Mavs not going to lose anymore games and so as the Lakers. Only way Blazers need to do is win

 

[VenomXL]

Defense is ass so far.

 

[Strenuus]

I guess it's nostalgia night. Harkening back to the wide open 3 pointers for the opponent.
