Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 27, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

Good adjustments Stotts. Why don't your adjust your ass out of this fucking franchise.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is probably the worst 30 million per year player in the league.

 

[brooklynballer]

Completely clueless defensively. Offensively we lean purely on individual talent. Just end the season and get Stotts outta here

It is actually kinda funny how bad they are defensively. Like historically bad. If Stotts survives this debacle, it literally means he has a lifetime appointment. And if that’s the case, God help us all.

 

[TBpup]

I believe we are the better team, but are held back by our coach. Just semantics cuz I think you believe the same.

Agreed....but we don't play as a team because of the way Stotts has enabled some of his players.

 

[illmatic99]

austin rivers? really?

you let this scrub cook you?

 

[Scalma]

a couple more days

 

[AldoTrapani]

Again guys A LOT of silver linings! Major changes coming. But now u see why me and @Natebishop3 wanted that lottery pick

 

[VenomXL]

Very frustrating game. I’m kind of glad I’m working Saturday during the game. I’m a little fed up.

 

[DDolla]

Can’t even beat Denver without Barton, Dozier and Murray

 

[AldoTrapani]

And please stop complaining about Stotts. It’s obviously over with him soon

 

[EGame]

I believe we are the better team, but are held back by our coach. Just semantics cuz I think you believe the same.

We are only better because of there injuries. Fully healthy they are better. Yet Stotts can't even beat a gimped version of the Nuggets. Fucking useless coach

 

[AldoTrapani]

You feel me!! LMAO

 

[3putt]

Murdered by Austin Rivers. Rad.

Austin fucking Rivers was the difference. My only excuse I want to give them is playing too many minutes to play defense.

if Stotts survives another first round exit I might not watch next year.

 

[AldoTrapani]

And boy is Powell useless on this team

 

[MadeFromDust]

On the bright side, there is a good chance our albatross of a coach will be gone this offseason. I wish I could say the same for CJ but I doubt anyone is dumb enough to take on that contract at this point.

At least it's crystal clear now that this core is not going to get it done. No more mysteries there.

 

[TBpup]

Well on the bright side Stotts will be gone and I think CJ will be traded.

Hopefully that is the siver lining that comes out of. Fingers crossed.

9 years has been 5 years too many.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Oh hell no he won’t

 

[Serbian]

Rivers just took a shit on this team. We had worst 3 point shooting game while Denver broke franchise record from 3. Nurkic is fouled out every game. And jokic is never in foul trouble. The difference is the IQ

And don’t forget the next series is the Lakers anyways

Yessir

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Tince]

I'm not a CJ basher, but I can't believe anyone could continue to say he's basically an all-star.

The inconsistency on offense while getting torched by a waiver wire pickup in a series like this is just brutal.

 

[BlazerRx]

Dont know why I was so optimistic going into the playoffs this year....been a blazer fan a long time and think I would know better by now. Tough loss.

 

[JoshuaHall]

This team is just so unbelievably poorly coached it’s honestly amazing

Kanter gets cooked for 2.75 games, Stotts finally realizes you can’t play him... after a bunch of Internet dorks came to the realization much faster.

Decides to “not make any adjustments other than match their intensity”

absolutely refuses to run multiple sets to get AG off of Dame and/or switch the initiator of the offense to get two bad defenders in the PnR (such as using Powell (mpj) instead)

Generally trash on defense and adjustments are late

 

[TBpup]

Can’t even beat Denver without Barton, Dozier and Murray

Certainly not that we don't have more talent on the floor.

We are losing to a starting backcourt of Rivers/Campazzo? Let that sink in.

 

[Scalma]

This is Stotts on the sideline

 

[Serbian]

We had about 12 wide open corner 3s all bricks

 

[brooklynballer]

And boy is Powell useless on this team

He’s a useful player that’s being completely underutilized by this moronic coach. Go watch how he played in Toronto’s championship run. He was money because he was put in a position to be successful (not just a puppet standing at the three point line).

 

[tester551]

dame hasn't done shit tonight in the 2nd half against gordon

again

so much for those adjustments

Coach Stotts said adjustments aren't needed. The team just needs to play with more urgency
