Game Thread GAME# 81: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - APRIL 9, 2018 - MONDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[EGame]

Yep, this team isn't winning a game in the playoffs.

I mean we might win a game. But we gonna flop worse than Harden in a game.

 

[BonesJones]

We can never play with a lead. A lead in the game or a lead in the standings. The level of effort is determined by how much in danger we are. I think I've just come to accept that has a Blazers fan.

That's on Stotts.

 

[Strenuus]

How hard is it to go more PnR with Dame/Nurk? He shot 60% while the guards were building brick houses. Maybe Stotts is really that overrated.

Always overrated.

 

[blue9]

Tater Totts chokes on little boy cokcs!

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

The game was very disappointing but reading this thread is far more disappointing. And all we ever hear is how great Portland fans are. I get the wearing of one’s emotions on one’s sleeve, but this is funnier than shit. Way to hang with “your” team guys........

 

[BonesJones]

Always overrated.

Most overrated coach in the league.

 

[Scalma]

Shabazz 2-10 hell yeahhhhhh

Yay, someone here to call out the entire forum after a tough loss!

Nuggets fans complaining about Refs on Twitter. Lmfao. They get sweeped in the 1st anyway so fuck them all

 

[blue9]

Before the season began I thought DEN was overrated as fuck. Mid-Season I thought DEN was overrated as fuck. One game left in the season and I still think DEN is overrated as fuck...and we lose to them. They don't have a single player half as good as Dame! Or a player as good as CJ (I know, it's all the rage to hate on him). But goddamn it Tater Totts doesn't find a way to lose to under-talented teams!

By pointing out all the flaws and disappointments we have in the team by no means we are not hanging with our team. The way they are playing is not even close to going to get it done in the playoffs and to do it with 1 game until playoffs is the worst time of the year. We are all fans just as much as anyone and want the team to do well, but it isn't a stretch to say the obvious which is they flat out are playing garbage ball.

 

[Jade Falcon]

He isn't the one missing free throws or open threes

No. But he IS the one calling dumbass, pointless plays out of timeouts, like running the clock out for a 2 point shot....totally predictable by this point......instead of a 3, which we NEED.

The guys aren't the problem (well, maybe a couple of them). It's "da man" that's the problem!

 

[Shaboid]

I would absolutely love if he went off on this team. They need a kick in the ass.

Somebody needs to..

 

[DDolla]

We Suck as a 3rd seed in the West, not even sure if we win first round of the playoffs.

 

[blue9]

We won't be 3rd seed when the POs start. And without a herculean effort from Dame, CJ, Nurk, and Harkless we won't get out of the first round.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Maybe you should listen to yourself. It’s always negative and it gets very old. It’s a fucking game. Get over it.

 

[Labinot41]

I just want David Blatt. Thats a great coach. I'm sure he would like to come back in the nba

 

[OneSport3]

Shabazz Napier goes 2-10 FG yet Wade Baldwin gets a DNP-CD. Stotts has to be one of the worst in-game coaches in the league. Has no feel for the game and just can't adjust.

 

[Chris Craig]

Scratching my head, don't know what to think right now. Well looks like Blazers will end up in 5th.

I miss enjoyable game threads...this place has changed...we used to laugh around here

He's a charlatan.

 

[Scalma]

The most frustrating thing is you know Stotts isn’t going to call out CJ. He has no problem calling out Nurkic (even when he plays well!) but god forbid he says anything about that black hole we have at SG.

Btw our best run in the second half came without CJ. As soon as he came in I told myself we’re gonna lose this lead, and fast. And we did. Like clockwork.

 

[Chris Craig]

Its hard man when we lose 4 in a row and are limping into the playoffs looking like we don't belong. Its a kick in the nuts.

 

[Chris Craig]

We have the 3rd best record in the West.

Till Wednesday....actually till tomorrow when the Jazz beat the GSW and take 3rd from our dead hands

The guys aren't the problem (well, maybe a couple of them). It's "da man" that's the problem!

Dame missed 4 free throws that barely made it to the rim. And too many of his other shots were falling short. It’s a long season, they’re playing at altitude and Dame has a new baby at home. Shit happens. At the start of the season too many board members didn’t even think we’d have a winning record, let alone make the playoffs. I think we should be reasonably grateful for the season we’re having.

Live and die by AmiNO.
When teams don't have to guard Aminu it's 4 on 5 on the offensive end.
3-13 and 1-8 from 3 point. He literally shot them out of the game again.
Lillard 2-10 from three and Turner 0-4 didn't help.
Then we have CJ with a 5-18 shooting performance.
Shooting 33% and 21% from 3 point aint gonna win ya many games.

 

[AFully22]

My lord, did Stotts really just say he thought they played well tonight?

 

[riverman]

I don't go there as a fan CC...I try to find something to cheer for....angst and sports don't sit well with me...it's entertainment....
