Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 17, 2018, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT & NBCSNW

[Jade Falcon]

Dame is doing poorly because he's being double teamed, and he can't pass it off to Nurk on the PnR. And Dame has NEVER NEVER NEVER done well of any kind against a double team. Never.

So yes, it's 5 on 4, and this is the result. 5 on 3 if you include Turner being as good as the towel boy.

 

[LuckyShot]

How does Stotts suck so bad and still have a job?

 

[BlazerBeav]

No fucking adjustments from game 1. Being outcoached by Alvin fucking Gentry. Holy shit.

 

[AFully22]

This is fucking dumb. Even if we end up winning this game I’ve seen enough from this years team to know they’re frauds.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame can't get to the rim. Stotts can't make any adjustments.

 

[TBpup]

Blazer offense:
A - jack up a '3' no matter what
B - dribble...dribble....dribble...crossover, jab-step, crossover, step-back jumper.
(Repeat)

 

[DDolla]

At least it’s first to win 4 games lol. This team is such a tease.

 

[Labinot41]

Well, the series is probably over

 

[illmatic99]

sweep

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Damn. Is this really our peak?

It took a season from the basketball god's injury wise, coupled with almost everyone else in the west dealing with injuries - for us to go out in the first round w/HCA.

 

[trailblazer18]

This is not on anyone else but Lillard...so sad to say he is garbage.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

This is so painful. New Orleans isn't that good either. God being a fan of this team is torture

 

[tester551]

Tnt announsers are commenting Portlands o is trash. Dame & CJ are going hero ball & taking difficult shots without any passing.

[VenomXL]

What the fuck is wrong with this team?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

"third straight possession by Blazers without a pass"

 

[BonesJones]

Fire Terry Stotts.

 

[LuckyShot]

No fucking adjustments from game 1. Being outcoached by Alvin fucking Gentry. Holy shit.

As if that should come as a surprise.

 

[BonesJones]

What the fuck is wrong with this team?

Terry.

 

[Cippy91]

Iso iso iso no ball movement bad shots iso iso iso horseshit. I watched all season for this?! Yeah fuck this. Take a first round exit and shake this team up in the offseason, dump turner for nothing I don’t care. This is embarrassing

 

[TBpup]

No fucking adjustments from game 1. Being outcoached by Alvin fucking Gentry. Holy shit.

Why make adjustments when you 'just have to make shots'?

 

[chzbrgr]

Sweep sweep sweep it’s spring cleaning in blazer land

 

[tykendo]

Man! I can't believe what i'm seeing. I don't see any smothering defense. It looks like were freakin' gassed. Guys who shouldn't handle the ball are, and Dame looks like he's a shadow of himself. The Blazers are better than this. Ed can't cover Davis, period! Nurk is gonna have to suck it up. Helllooo Dame, we need you.

 

[julius]

Coaching is not Stotts strong suit.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

We look bad. Very... very... bad. I hope we can turn it around.

 

[MickZagger]

What the fuck is wrong with this team?

New Orleans defense is in their head.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Lillard needs an easy bucket or to get to the FT line, but he is terrified of Davis coming off the screen.

 

[Cippy91]

We all saw this but ignored it after that win streak win they lost to Memphis and Dallas, dame started to play worse especially after the kid it seems and here we are, continuing this bad play when it matters most. Was never a good sign

 

[B-Roy]

No one holds this team accountable.

 

[LuckyShot]

I feel like I'm rewatching game 1. Seriously, Stotts. How the fuck do you make zero adjustments after that game? How did you not see what they were going to do in game 1 coming?!? It's not like your offense is a mystery. It's not like their offense is. Jesus.
