Game Thread GAME# 9: NETS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 8, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

Three pointers are such a cop out for good offense. I want to see the stats for three pointers and my theory is the teams who shoot more are not very good. The analytics never said chuck bullshit three pointers up nearly the entire game. We're completely ignoring other opportunities. That's not to say three pointers don't have a role in the game. They do.

While true, they rarely ran when rebounding was good either.

that's true

I remember my playing days and one thing I remember is that playing fast in transition took a lot of practice and a lot of focus. I don't think Portland works at it much

Requires commitment, lots of commitment. Everyones gotta go.

Haven't the Rockets been setting all kinds of records for jacking up 3’s the last few years. Im not sure what that means lol

Can’t believe we lost to the Nets when Dame and CJ combined for 68 points... damn

I heard a story about one of the guys who played with wilt when he scored 100, and the guy was talking about how he and wilt had this crazy night they combined for 104. This reminds me of that.

Just substitute CJ for King and it’s 68 points combined for the Blazers’ backcourt.

If we're not making certain shots, we should keep shooting a ton of them huh?

I agree with you there. But they are a bit thin. Whiteside was not scoring though he had many chances. Skal could not move without fouling. Hood was out. So now you have Tolliver and a Rookie. I'm actually glad Stotts put the rookie in.
You got to have options to use them is all i'm saying. 1M gave them some good Minutes but he also didn't shoot well.
