Dame looks lazy.

the whole team looks like it's sleeping. not getting a good vibe

 

[DDolla]

If we are playing a top 10 team, they would be up by 20 by now lol

 

[AldoTrapani]

Between Nurk DJJ and Roco these guys are super offensively challenged. That’s a big problem

 

[DDolla]

I think the Blazers misses the fans or they just suck?

Nurks only offensive problem is he can’t finish. He’s a fine passer and great screen setter.

 

[James lamphear]

7 shots between our 2 guards 2 by the rest of the team.

 

[TBpup]

i see nothing different between today and last game

Well, we were up big in the first part of the Chicago game. But yes, it looks much too much like the 2nd half. Just no urgency.

StottsBall

 

[bobf]

Oh gawd purgatory.

 

[TBpup]

Someone besides the guards will get shots now....Melo in.

 

[OneSport3]

Carmelo first off the bench once again. Stotts is really going to ride with Melo til the end.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nurks only offensive problem is he can’t finish. He’s a fine passer and great screen setter.

thsts a Hyde problem tho

 

[bobf]

Nurk can’t shoot FTs anymore

 

[bobf]

Nurks playing good D tonight

 

[illmatic99]

this is awful basketball

 

[OneSport3]

There had to have been some form of agreement between Melo and Olshey/Stotts that he would be the 6th man if he came back.

 

[B-Roy]

Melo is like playing zone defense while the rest of the team is in man.

 

[riverman]

Now we're cookin'!

 

[Tince]

Melo is like playing zone defense while the rest of the team is in man.

They were all supposed to be in zone on the baseline out of bounds.

 

[Tince]

There had to have been some form of agreement between Melo and Olshey/Stotts that he would be the 6th man if he came back.

Almost without a doubt.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Good pass by CJ, drew the defender even deeper before making it.

 

[B-Roy]

They were all supposed to be in zone on the baseline out of bounds.

Not talking about one play. Talking about his defense in general. Both this season and last.

[Tince]

GTJ promptly gets burned and hands the ball over in back to back possessions.

 

[bobf]

Oh great now we have two shit players to suck up Trents minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

Other team: drive and kick

our team: Melo fadeaway

 

[bobf]

Here come the Melo shit possessions

 

[B-Roy]

If this was any other team we would be down 10. Even Ricky Rubio can break down our defense on a simple drive.

 

[James lamphear]

Dame getting his tonight but will it pay off at the end.

 

[illmatic99]

no energy, no movement, no passing, just guys sitting and watching the ball on both ends.
