Game Thread GAME# 71: BLAZERS @ SUNS - MAY 13, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, TNT & NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

If Dame gets ball before the double team to Nurk should have a great game.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Bit sloppy but feels like we are again defending them much better than before.

 

[blazerkor]

We're down at a timeout... might as well pack it in.

Speaking of which where's overreacting @AldoTrapani at?

 

[Chris Craig]

Need to be feeding Nurk. They can't stop him

 

[illmatic99]

dame needs to get going off ball, they're playing ultra aggressive defense on him.

 

[BlazerBeav]

My god Nurk is killing it on defense.

 

[Jayblaze]

Could dame adjust fuck

 

[illmatic99]

yet another perfect game for DJ to play. no dice from terry

 

[BonesJones]

Bridges makes wide open 3. Dame makes heavily contested 3. Bridges makes wide open 3. Dame misses heavily contested 3. Monty > Stotts.

 

[James lamphear]

Last bucket good ball movement for a score.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lately, Simons has upped his Ant-D

 

[OneSport3]

Ant is already a better defender than CJ. Don’t @ me.

 

[blazedanugz]

this team looks focused

Had nice contest at the rim for a miss.

 

[illmatic99]

playing an 8 man rotation on a second night of a b2b after the effort and minutes last night... is stupid. i don't get how he gets away with this.

our depth is our strength. nas and dj need to get real rotation PT tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

compare the shot they got out of a TO to what we just got.

ugh

 

[EGame]

looks like we got trash melo tonight

 

[Jayblaze]

2 unit with melo and kanter and simons is trash

Apparently he didn’t learn from Hawks game last week.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Not much falling, still tied. That’s how far we’ve come.

 

[Labinot41]

This game gonna be a fight till the end

 

[James lamphear]

Not bad defense couple mental laspe. Offense we got the 3 better if that's type team we got.

 

[illmatic99]

This game gonna be a fight till the end

really? ive got a bad feeling, think it's gonna sour quickly. reminds me exactly of the ATL game

 

[BonesJones]

Can a Stotts-defender explain to me what Stotts' strategy is when Dame gets trapped right now? Surely they must think he's doing something right against it and I wanna see what they see.

Nas is out

 

[Labinot41]

If we lose we gonna play the Clippers which basicly means a guaranteed first round exit. Pretty simple

Lot it on Dame reading and passing the ball quicker.

 

[illmatic99]

Nas is out

dj then

we are 2-9 on three, tied, and that is foreboding to you?!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I disagree a lot with Stotts but I have no problem with using an 8 man rotation on back to backs. These guys are well-conditioned athletes in their 20's and early 30's. No reason they can't play 35 minutes of high intensity basketball two nights in a row. I want him to play the guys who have proven they are effective.
