Game Thread Preseason Game #4 Blazers @ Warriors - October 15th 2021 - Friday - 7PM - RootTV- NBA TV

[B-Roy]

This team folds at the first sign of pressure...

 

[brooklynballer]

This team can’t play a lick of defence. I recognize it’s early but if they play like this during the regular season they won’t win 25 games this season.

More than anything this is an indictment of Neil Olshey - Mr It’s Not the Roster. The previous coach was clearly horrible but this roster is so thin on talent outside of the starters and he did less than zero in the off-season to address the talent gap.

You can officially start the Dame trade watch…

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I don't like the offensive flow

There is no offensive flow. There is no offense.
They won the first quarter by making tough shots. As soon as they quit falling and the Warriors started tightening the defense they exposed the Blazers as a poor defensive and even worse offensive team.
This team will have to rely on Lillard hero ball all season.

 

[MickZagger]

This team will never be a serious contender with such a small 1-3

 

[Fairly-Hard]

One star player and a bunch of mediocre players around him will not win a bunch of games unless they play to their strengths.

 

[DDolla]

I would trade Simons for Jordan Poole straight up

 

[julius]

I hope that Elleby and McLemore never play again for the Blazers.

 

[James lamphear]

I done for tonight.

 

[DDolla]

I done for tonight.

It will be a long season for all of us.

 

[Labinot41]

Wow

 

[BigGameDamian]

It'll be nice when McLemore is off the team.

I remember hearing this type of thing when Nolan Smith was on the team.

 

[Labinot41]

Wow

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I hope that Elleby and McLemore never play again for the Blazers.

Elleby actually works hard out there and is improving. Not sure what Bens excuse is?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I know!
Put Blevins in. Then we can all blame him for the team playing soft and out of sync.

 

[Chris Craig]

Elleby actually works hard out there and is improving. Not sure what Bens excuse is?

Elleby is not improving

 

[julius]

There is no way this is what they think is a finished roster.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This is one of the worst benches we’ve had in a while.

Lack of talent.

This is 100% on Neil.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Watford doing everything he can to get noticed in his last 5 mins of fame.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Elleby is not improving

From what I see he is.

 

[julius]

Watch the scrubs on the Warriors vs the scrubs on the Blazers.

They actually run plays, whereas the Blazers just stand still and do jack shit on offense.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Bell telling Watford “ You ain’t even in this league”

 

[PDXFonz]

Man the thing is, it’s not just losses, these games have been pretty bad. Do we have the worst preseason +/-?

Edit: Not surprised…

 

[Fairly-Hard]

3 mins to try and keep it under 30!
Let’s Go Blazers!

 

[julius]

This is one of the worst benches we’ve had in a while.

Lack of talent.

This is 100% on Neil.

I do wish that they actually played their regular players tonight, instead of sitting Damian, Nance, Simons and Little.

not sure it would've made a lick of difference, but I don't care if most of these bums have good games or not.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Thinking about starting a new thread.
Title- This is the worst Blazer team I have ever seen.”

 

[Chris Craig]

From what I see he is.

You must be blind

 

[Fairly-Hard]

You must be blind

As he scores on a nice floater.
Did you watch Summer League!
Elleby is playing better.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

You must be blind

9 points
4-8 shooting
2 assists
Lots of hustle.
Yeah his game is improving.

 

[BlayZa]

just seems like a pretty low bball IQ n effort team atm. no boxing out, tentative play, hesitancy all over the place, panic and low awareness of the other teams players.

looks like a hell of a long year ahead of us tbh.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Twice as good as last game.
It’s a work in progress right?
