[UKRAINEFAN]

Stay on your guy, Melo!

 

[illmatic99]

Melo has 5 fouls.

thats one way of benching him

 

[VenomXL]

Wow. Big shots to end the quarter.

 

[DDolla]

Dame don’t need to sit

 

[BigGameDamian]

Good way to close the quarter!

 

[EGame]

I can see it now we start making a nice comeback and then bam! Refs call phantom foul after phantom foul

 

[MadeFromDust]

Should we keep Dame in?

 

[ehizzy3]

If Morris was fouled dame def was on the play before

 

[Haakzilla]

LFG!! lol

 

[illmatic99]

nurk has been nonexistent tonight. not doing anything after that terrific performance last game

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Maybe the Blazers will get pissed off and start playing with a bunch more intensity?
14 is not too much to come back from.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We got this

 

[JoshuaHall]

Should we keep Dame in?

Yup and just use timeouts if need be to get him a breather
Game has been at a snails pace in this half so far anyway

 

[B-Roy]

I feel like Melo and Kanter would not get played by any other coach in the league. And if they did, they wouldn’t have the same type of leash. I mean it’s one thing to keep them in when they’re doing well, but there are nights where they just get completely chewed up. Still play their 20 mpg…

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Put in RHJ to start the fourth! No Melo. No Kanter.

 

[BlazerRx]

Lets go blazers! Big shots to end the quarter, we could still make this interesting.

 

[Natebishop3]

They should have tossed Jokic.

 

[illmatic99]

id give dame maybe 2 mins of rest.

this game is massive

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man id take anything to have a respectable defense

 

[B-Roy]

We are 15/27 from 3 and down 14. That’s incredible.

 

[BonesJones]

nurk has been nonexistent tonight. not doing anything after that terrific performance last game

We havent utilized him whatsoever. He obviously wasn't a part of our gameplan.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Everyone whining about Covington but he’s the only blazer that’s played meaningful minutes and is a +4 hahahaha

 

[EGame]

We havent utilized him whatsoever. He obviously wasn't a part of our gameplan.

Gameplan? I dont think Stotts even knows the definition of a gameplan.

 

[B-Roy]

Also why can’t we move the fucking ball? So many guys just holding the ball trying to do it themselves.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

nurk has been nonexistent tonight. not doing anything after that terrific performance last game

He's barely touched the ball. He only got into the second half of the last game because they started running through him. That's how he got 5 assists. As usual, we go completely away from Nurk.

 

[illmatic99]

We havent utilized him whatsoever. He obviously wasn't a part of our gameplan.

even when he has gotten the ball, he's not been fully engaged. and defensively, he's been as bad as kanter so far in this game. hope he gets with it. his activity can change our outlook

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Also why can’t we move the fucking ball? So many guys just holding the ball trying to do it themselves.

Because we refuse to run it through Nurk the game after it worked so well.

 

[AldoTrapani]

God Nurk nice offensive rebound but finish that shit

 

[MadeFromDust]

Can we make one more big push?
