Game Thread GAME# 76: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - MARCH 30, 2019 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So not only do they keep their starters in, their playing stupid. What the heck is this...

 

[BonesJones]

Great pass, Evan! One problem - We're wearing red, not black!

 

[BonesJones]

Dwayne, you're not going to lose this game, shut up.

 

[BonesJones]

LOL

 

[KingSpeed]

Why wasn’t Casey ejected?

 

[illmatic99]

why are we prolonging this

 

[H.C.]

#Stotts

Right because Stotts said in the huddle.
With one second left and them passing again make sure you foul so we send them to the line.

[BonesJones]

You would get burned on defense. We’d lose by 60. And no, you wouldn’t make 2 shots against NBA defense.

Maybe, but I could be more competitive against NBA players than you could against our 3-on-3 team!

Nothing is ever Stotts.

 

[illmatic99]

STOP FOULING

 

[illmatic99]

this is stupid to do on the 2nd night of a b2b

 

[beast blazer]

Dame can't even make a layup tonight

 

[H.C.]

Nothing is ever Stotts.

Disagree
rotations have been ass tonight.
Not enough Meyers Leonard in a game where Portland struggled to make shots. With a big who wants to camp the lane.
Not enough direct entry passes.
Too much fucking P&R and ISO ball.

 

[JDC]

Watch him put in the end of bench guys and then hear the defenders saying "You have to give props to Stotts, he adjusted".

Lol.

 

[TBpup]

Pistons score 11 points in the 1st quarter.....and still almost get to 100. Ugh!

 

[riverman]

stick a fork in it...get the next one..Go Blazers!

 

[kjironman1]

If I played 36 minutes tonight I'm not sure they'd lose by more than they will. I could shoot 2-17 from 3 or whatever they are right now.

Come now.... I understand it's a game thread but lets not get too crazy.

 

[BonesJones]

Depression!

 

[BonesJones]

Come now.... I understand it's a game thread but lets not get too crazy.

I think I could shoot 2 for 17 on the shots they shot. Do you doubt that?

 

[KingSpeed]

First loss with Curry scoring 10+?

We needed Playoff Aminu tonight.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I don't understand what the Blazers are doing. They're down by 14 with 1:48 to go on a b2b. You aren't coming back. They're acting like it was a 6 or 7 point game. So they really want to play till the final whistle, ok I can respect that. Play smart basketball, nope. They drew up a play from a TO that was a pass to where only guys in Black Jerseys were standing. They fouled with 1 second left before an 8 second violation. Then they were setting really crappy screens and not even getting good looks from distance which was basically their only shot of coming back.

I mean I guess I'm not a coach in the NBA and all that stuff, but I don't get it...

 

[KingSpeed]

I think I could shoot 2 for 17 on the shots they shot. Do you doubt that?

Yes. You wouldn’t get the shots off. You wouldn’t even get open to begin with. They are bigger, stronger, and faster than you.

Nope, Stotts is great. ISO and Basic P&R is the way to go. Can't wait till playoffs, our opponent will never see it coming

Oh, and 3s. Especially if we're missing. Because we're guaranteed a 46% conversion rate from Meyers, he just has to shoot a million!

Stotts timeout plays strike again!

But also, Evan Turner, can you not see the color black? Haha. That was bad.

 

[James lamphear]

Well sometimes your going have shooting nights like this. We had no answer with Jackson and Drummond. But positive we did have 18 offensive rebounds.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well it was doubtful we’d win out the year. Still on track to win 50. Go Blazers.

 

[BonesJones]

I hate dumb basketball and my teams have played far too much of it today. This week's been the worst.

 

[BonesJones]

Yes. You wouldn’t get the shots off. You wouldn’t even get open to begin with. They are bigger, stronger, and faster than you.

I'm 6'5 with a quick release, wtf are you actually talking about?

Yes

 

[BonesJones]

Yes

You shouldn't.
