Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 6: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - JUNE 3, 2021 - THURSDAY, 5:00, TNT & NBCSNW

Stotts making excuses. Lol

Dead. Coach. Walking.

Not worth even listening to. It's utterly impossible to justify him not being looking for a job tomorrow.

 

[Strenuus]

Lmao stotts got asked about his job security hahaha.

 

[bobf]

Oh, this is no doubt not a smart team, but someone has to be able to impress upon the players after winning Game 1 not to phone in Game 2, that we can put the Nuggets effectively away before we play a game in Portland.

That this series got to Game 6 was a travesty. That the Blazers lost in six would make the Blazers a national sports talk laughingstock if we were in just about any other media market.

Assuming the players phoned it in that’s another really bad decision by the players.

 

[Natebishop3]

The end of this game had every single one of Terry’s weaknesses on display.

Bad timeout management? Check

Bad use or challenge? Check.

Bad substitutions? Check.

No offensive scheme to speak of? Check.

Badly prepared team that melted down under pressure? Check.

Defense? I don’t even need to say it. Torched by Morris and Rivers.

 

[AldoTrapani]

A lot of silver lining guys.. have faith

I tired to tell ya a long time ago but it’s ok. Time always tells. The future is bright. Hopefully the changes are good but they are needed!!

 

[calvin natt]

Terry Stotts boutta be the tallest McDonalds worker in the country

Huh

 

[bobf]

Time to make the next game thread.....oh wait

Silver lining. Lucky you. Thanks for all the hard work!!

Good! He’s gone now! No need to complain about him anymore.

If you could only have 1 this off season, what would you chose?
- Fire Stotts
- Trade CJ (for anything)
- Fire Olshey

Fire Melo.

 

[Terry Stawts]

Thank you Damian Lillard for everything you gave to us in this series. You flat out played your ass off and single handedly would have won at least game 5 had you have any teammates whatsoever. Speaking of fuck everybody else on this team especially CJ and Stotts. I'll be so happy to never see you in a Blazer uniform again. But thank you again Dame, you mean so much to this franchise.

Lillard made like 1 shot in the 4th quarter.

 

[Strenuus]

I also picked Denver in 6...

But it still freaking hurts. I was really really hoping I was wrong.

At least stotts will be gone. Cj only leaves if olshey leaves so I can hope for that.

 

[James lamphear]

You guys are massively overating Nurkic. I wont be sad if he's not on the team next year.

I think he can still be decent center but you have premier players that stay attached to there player that they are guarding. Starting 3 6'3 guards we already in disadvantage especially on the boards. We gave 16 second chance points tonight. Olshey have big decision this off season of he still here. I think olshey probably is lucky that Paul still not a live I believe olshey would be fire.

 

[Strenuus]

Lillard made like 1 shot in the 4th quarter.

Probably the same amount as everyone on the Blazers.

Without Dame were nowhere near the playoffs or even relevant lol.

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[B-Roy]

Terry interview:

Has two years left on his deal (I thought it was only one)

Didn't challenge the three because the replay guy said it was a foul and Nurk said "I barely touched him"

 

[EGame]

Lillard made like 1 shot in the 4th quarter.

Ok and? He was probably fatigued as fuck from putting this shit team on his back in game 5 in 2 overtimes, how can you blame him? He played his ass off this series and to suggest otherwise is plain fucking ignorant.

 

[Terry Stawts]

Carmelo Anthony has always been trash, but he is not even an NBA player any more. Signing him was a joke. It was always obvious he couldn’t compete as a 4 in the playoffs and would be eaten alive by people half his age in the paint. He allowed about 400 offense rebounds this series. But at least blazer fans got a cheap thrill of a “legend*” playing on our team.

*”legend” status comes from having the worst playoff record of any NBA player in history

 

[James lamphear]

Well I had Denver in 6 but I was hoping I was going be wrong.

 

[wizenheimer]

Campazzo and Austin Rivers are not better than this current roster that is is neutered who you admit is fucking stupid. But you can't seem to drop your narrative for even a second that Olshey is at fault. WTF did Olshey do? He isn't the one that gave Denver all their momentum while up 14 tonight

I didn't say a fucking thing about Olshey. What I said, in response to you saying it was all on Stotts, was Denver proved it was the better team this series, and for sure the last 2 games. Stotts is a fuckup for sure but not everything wrong with the team is his fault, like you are saying

 

[ehizzy3]

Nurk is emotional right now

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurk is emotional right now

He now needs to put in the work to insure this never happens again. Call up Tim Duncan and ask if he will work with him. If not him, somebody else. He cannot depend on the Blazers to give him the basketball coaching he needs.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk:

"Like I said at the beginning of the season: I wish my role was bigger, I thought I could have done more"

Wow, if that's not an indictment of the coaching staff.

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

Rodney Hood might have helped in this series...

 

[beast blazer]

i know that i will be banned for this. I do not care anymore. The key moment was Stotts mistake to not challenge nurks foul where Jokic scored three fts. That was the KEY moment in this match.

I will now be true balkan fan who say this when hates somebody. Mr Stotts i f.ck you, your complete close and wide family who are 21 and older. I wish you very worst things in your life. I wish to never ever see your stupid ugly brainles face anywhere on tv either in Portland or anywhere else. You are the most ugly person i have ever watched. You are the reason why i will not watch the rest of the playoffs, i cant watch basketball because of you. Go f.ck away from Portland, from Dame and take your fucking cj with you. Change the job. If you can find anything with that brainles, stupid and ugly face. If you read this or anybody show you, i will repeat: F.ck you, your complete family older than 21 ( including 21).

 

[oldmangrouch]

Best case scenario: the team is sold and moved to Seattle; Portland gets an expansion team and has a roster of hungry young players who deserve our support.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk:

"Like I said at the beginning of the season: I wish my role was bigger, I thought I could have done more"

Wow, if that's not an indictment of the coaching staff.

I forget was nurk injured in the beginning of the year? I thought that was he alluding to.

If not, yeah thats fucked up lmao.

 

[Natebishop3]

Lillard made like 1 shot in the 4th quarter.

Gee I wonder why. Maybe because he was fucking exhausted?

 

[EGame]

Nurk:

"Like I said at the beginning of the season: I wish my role was bigger, I thought I could have done more"

Wow, if that's not an indictment of the coaching staff.

He definitely could have and is very telling of Stotts. But ultimately he did us no favors fouling out in almost every game.

Edit: I misread, he meant throughout the whole season. But my stance on the playoff series still stands.

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk sounds devastated. It's OBVIOUS he did not trust the coaching staff.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk is expecting changes.
