Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 14, 2018, SATURDAY, 7:30 PM PDT, ESPN & NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

we lost this game in the 1st qtr....couldn't score 20 pts a qtr in the first half...amazing we had a shot to tie it at the end..

We had no shot to tie it with Stotts drawing up plays for Meyers Leonard and Pat C for 2 with no TO left.

Worst play calls at the end of the game I've seen in a while.

I can't wait to hear what the team has to say about this one.

 

[Natebishop3]

As I said earlier, on the bright side at least maybe we will finally move on from Stotts.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Fire Stotts.

 

[brooklynballer]

Going for a '2' twice in a row when you have no TO's left? With Meyers and Pat? Fire Stotts before game 2.

They were so unprepared to start with.....and then that?

Fucking POS coach doesn’t even consider double-teaming AD. Try a fucking zone defense. Try anything you clueless schmuck!!!!

 

[illmatic99]

Such an idiotic decision and play call. Stotts just needs to be fired now. What a fucking dumbass

 

[Rhal]

Lots of you are blaming Stotts only but our guards were settling all night...

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!

I like Stotts and defend him a lot but those last two plays for the Blazers are inexcusable. That was NOT good couching by him in any sense of the word.

We had a shot to WIN IT at the end, but Dame tried to draw a foul instead of taking a fucking shot to WIN.

 

[DDolla]

I’m depressed we lost ugh

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts...

 

[LuckyShot]

So to recap, we let them do just about whatever they wanted, they sold out to stop Dame and CJ and we never countered. In short, yet another example of Stotts completely shitting the bed and not doing a damn thing to help his team.

 

[BonesJones]

Mediocre franchise led by a mediocre coach. How much money does Jay Wright need to leave Villanova?

 

[theprunetang]

Let's give Meyers his first look of the night to go for a 2 late when we need a 3 and have fucking Dame and CJ on the team......

 

[Natebishop3]

If you asked me to rank players on our team who should be taking the last shot, Meyers would be dead fucking last.

 

[BonesJones]

We had a shot to WIN IT at the end, but Dame tried to draw a foul instead of taking a fucking shot to WIN.

That was dumb too.

 

[Boise Blazer]

For that matter I don't know why Collins wasn't in instead of Leonard but it doesn't matter if we run a fucking pick and roll.

 

[TBpup]

Rondo with as many assists.....as the entire Blazer team!

 

[illmatic99]

I seriously want to rip apart Stotts right now. And then ET for actually throwing those dumbass passes. What a low IQ player

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Anyone that thinks Stotts is a good coach can kiss Homer's lily-white beer-soaked ass.

That game plan and match up strategy was embarrassing.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We need to stop shooting 3s so much. Get to the line, this is the playoffs after all.

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts needs to go

 

[illmatic99]

Let's give Meyers his first look of the night to go for a 2 late when we need a 3 and have fucking Dame and CJ on the team......

with 12 seconds left in a playoff game after he's been on the bench all game.

Seriously Terry, you're an idiot

 

[rotary111]

I thought for sure Pat was gonna kick that out to Dame. Damn.

 

[DUB]

We played like arse, they played great, yet they only just beat us. I like our chances over seven games.

 

[tykendo]

I seriously want to rip apart Stotts right now. And then ET for actually throwing those dumbass passes. What a low IQ player

ET with some of the most mind numbing knucklehead passes I've seen.

 

[Rhal]

If you want a bright side its pretty easy to say that there is no way in hell CJ/Dame play this poorly at the same time the rest of this series. This game actually makes me think we are going to win the series even with the loss of HCA.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm gonna take twice the recommended dosage of melatonin.

 

[theprunetang]

FUCK

 

[DDolla]

This is a 7 game series

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts -

If you've made our most optimistic fan @KingSpeed ask for you to be fired, you know you done fucked up
