Game Thread PRESEASON GAME# 2: KINGS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 13, 2020 - SUNDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

Also why no PG on the floor right now?

Stotts and Neil don't think we need more than one on the team at a time.

we don't have one?

 

[Natebishop3]

There was zero contact there. Come on refs.

 

[Natebishop3]

So they slap us on drives... no call.

Elleby comes within a foot of the King and it's a foul?

 

[TBpup]

So after the time out:
Iso (Melo)
Iso (Hood)
Iso (Melo)
Iso (Trent)
Iso (Melo)
Iso (Trent)

...they have enough scorers out there, it's like they are all afraid if they give it up, they won't get it back. That could be a problem.

 

[B-Roy]

Is Melo going to shoot every time he touches the ball?

 

[Natebishop3]

Melo doesn't seem interested in passing either.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Melo needs to pass out in those situations in the post when he draws the help defender to him

 

[Driew]

Also why no PG on the floor right now?

Ant dealing with a hamstring issue.

What are you talkin about TBpup? That's prime Stotts ball right there!

 

[Chris Craig]

Shitty 1st

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Melo doesn't seem interested in passing either.

And Stotts is too scared to tell him otherwise. Per usual.

 

[illmatic99]

So little ball movement.....so much isolation. Expectedly poor results.
Pass the ball, cut to the basket with those high flyers, and get the defense to rotate.

Not really moving after it reaches Melo's hands. He's got blinders on in this lineup.

 

[OneSport3]

If the offensive plan for the bench is just to let Melo continuously go 1-on-1 then what’s the point of the depth of roster?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I hope to see Giles soon.

 

[Chris Craig]

I thought he still wanted #7.

Only if he had to give up the 00's

 

[Chris Craig]

I hope to see Giles soon.

Yeah, I've been waiting.

 

[Tince]

Elleby is totally lost out there... As should be expected for someone who wasn't expected to be drafted.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Is Giles out today?

 

[B-Roy]

Melo's usage rate off the bench is going to go through the roof.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Cj been good this preseason

 

[AldoTrapani]

Melo's usage rate off the bench is going to go through the roof.

And nobody can tell him anything

 

[Titan]

I really want to see Nurk with Giles on the floor

 

[blazerkor]

Only if he had to give up the 00's

He said in his post game interview last game that he did want to switch to 7 after Roy said what he said but that the NBA told him they'd already manufactured too many 00s so he said OK and moved on.

 

[Blazinaway]

Elleby is totally lost ot there... As should be expected for someone who wasn't expected to be drafted.

I am seeing way to much of him, where the hell is Giles?

 

[B-Roy]

Trent/DJJ/RoCo wings.

 

[Titan]

Good thing the score doesn’t matter tonight

 

[Blazinaway]

Elleby yes take him the F out

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is rough. Feels like a preview of the upcoming week.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Is Harry even on the bench?
