OISG's Loss to NOP post-game "analysis" thread

Re: Loss to NOP post-game "analysis" thread

Terry must of learned his defense from Paul Westhead. Make a trade Neil. Shumpert and Tyson, NOW!

 

[OdenIsStillGod]

The Blazers had a foul to give on there last possession when Evans had the ball. All Stotts, has no clue what he's doing on defense.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Stotts would've paid money for the final shot to be Evans shooting a 17-footer.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So, I'm confused and I need help from a mod. Is OdenIsStillGod the same troll as Mixilito?

No, not at all.

That would be the 2nd game in a row. They had a foul-to-give against the Heat and didn't use it there either. Love Stotts offensive movement. Not such a fan of the huge reliance on the '3' and a big opponent of the defensive scheme.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Stotts would of paid money to foul with 1.8 seconds left and not have him shoot in rhythm. So would anybody else who actually took there job serious or was competent, forget that this is the second time this week? No excuse, Stotts has no clue on defense.

Coach of the year so far. You say? I know "gifted"

 

[MickZagger]

Who cares about the last play of the game.

Stotts has coached 113 games now and the defense is pathetic as ever. 68 freaking points in the paint for the Pelicans.

You can get by being that bad in the paint in the regular season because majority of teams in the NBA this year are a joke. One of the worst NBA seasons in recent memory. The level of play is a joke.

But as soon as the playoffs start, being that horrendous defending the paint is going to catch up to the Blazers. It's the kind of thing that gets you knocked out in the 1st round, especially if the 3's (which is all they shoot now minus Aldridge) aren't falling.

I thought you left for greener pastures?

A couple close losses and the troll team comes out of the woodwork in full force like a leach suckin on a turd.

Ironic.

Why is commenting on the defensive deficiencies (which have existed all year so far) being a troll? Portland shot at a ridiculously high rate early on but any real basketball fan knew that wouldn't be sustained. As it has started to fall off and the competition is getting tougher, the lack of defense becomes more glaring. That doesn't seem trollish.

We've lost two in a row. So help me god. Clippers, Warriors, Grizzlies, Rockets are all teams that everybody thought would be way better than us and have much bigger issues to deal with. We've got to the toughest part of our schedule and lost 2 in a row for the first time.

Do we have defensive problems that need to be fixed? Yes. Are we still one of the top 3 teams in the West and far exceeding expectations? Yes.

Its not what you say, its how you say it. The leaches have been laying low waiting for a good opportunity to shit all over the board.

Talking about D is one thing coming out and Trolling about D is quiet another. Carlito/OISG are trolls and if it wasn't D it would be taking to many threes or LA taking to many far jumpers. Sometimes its not about what is being posted but by who is posting it.

Haha finally this team lost back to back games.. It was bound to happen. We have defense issues obviously. And hope like many that we figure it out. Dame is the target of opposing defenses. This is due to his erratic behavior with the ball recently. Obviously. What I do know though is that this blazer teAm is fighting every single game and are pulling out the majority of these close games. We lost on a rainbow three from a center and a close battle from a team on the road and a team that wAs destined by many to rank higher than the blazers before the season began. Not upset at all, but am very aware of the the holes that this team has. With that said we still have what it take to compete with the best this New Year's Eve and make a statement!

Don't even try man, The Soccer moms will eat you for lunch. If you even try speaking the truth about this team they will attack you at all cost. In there Eyes Stotts is defensive coach of the year and LMA is Lebron, anything less and your a troll and not a fan. Trust me.

Step up your game, son.

Bottom line - if you have set the precedence of being combative and reactionary on issues that are already known, then you have waived the right to the benefit of the doubt. That's not our fault.

If you have set a precedence of being level headed and talking about good with the bad, then you have earned the right to the benefit of the doubt.

It's really simple, this is why there's some that are oblivious to knowing they are trolls.

They're not oblivious. There are a handful of people who only seem to post when the team is either A) losing or B) lost the game. They come out of the woodwork to talk shit, and then disappear when the team turns things around and/or wins the game. Those people are disingenuous and I'm getting real tired of their shit.

I was more saying that people who say "if you talk negative then you're a troll"... that's what my bottom line statement means. There's some that start negative threads that get real discussion. But, if you're someone like Carlito, you won't be taken seriously, because of the precedent set.

Repped. This is exactly why odenisgod has put me on block. That ignorant poster can only dish ignorance on a losing streak but can't stand when the blazers are successful.

The people who say that tend to be trolls.

Touche. I was just elaborating on it.

Even the new guy can see that I'm discussing basketball, not trolling.

You guys are playing yourselves when it comes to reading my posts. Any logical person can see what i wrote is pretty spot on.

So you just happened to surface after two losses when you haven't been posting here for at least a month?

I posted a couple days ago actually.

My post had nothing to do with the team record, only the defense. Last i checked the defense has been below average all year.

He's not new, actually. His sign in date is new, but he's not.

Any logical person would know that.

I wasn't even talking about you when I was referencing trolls, but the fact that you thought I WAS referencing you says a lot.

And what makes you think I thought you were referencing me? My posts had nothing to do with. You weren't even a thought.

There was another posting calling people trolls that tbpup responded to, and i responded to that.
