Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 2: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - AUGUST 2, 2020 - SUNDAY, 12:30, ABC & NBCSNW

What’s up with ya boy Dame?

How many times does Damian Lillard have to CLOWN this man?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Did Dame just have a career high in assists??

 

[AldoTrapani]

What a terrible loss

 

[Titan]

I like when Dame hits those long 3’s, but the one he took, we needed to make sure we scored to pull away. Was not a good time to take a chance like that

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn

Three late threes by Dame were in and out. If they went in we would have won

 

[B-Roy]

This one is a fucking heartbreaker though because we had the lead in the 4th. Using all the effort to come back and having no payoff is killer.

This should be the end of Mario as a rotation player. Play Wenyen or Nas his 10 MPG and continue giving GT 30+ MPG.

 

[Tince]

Why do I get a feeling Whiteside is looking a the +/- thinking he's getting screwed?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Jaylen Brown in the 4th Quarter

16 Points, 6/6 FGM, 4/4 3PM

This dude is the real deal

 

[Sheldon Shape]

So we do have the talent to compete with the Celtics or not?

People are making all sorts of excuses for Stotts by saying we don't have the personnel to compete.

A better executed first half and we could have and should have won that game.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Rockets are a worse version of this Celtics team. You just take the combination of Tatum/Brown/Hayward and you stick it in one person in Harden.

Blazers need to go to Nurkic and Collins early and often against Houston and I guess Hassan if he wakes the fuck up

 

[BlazerBeav]

Tied it, yes.

Did Dame just have a career high in assists??

 

[A$AP Meyers]

They’re a worse version defensively, yes. They could legitimately score 140 on us.

 

[Tince]

16 assists and people bitching about him! Oh and 30 points.

 

[kjironman1]

He can’t even shoot. His career percentage from 3 showing tonight

Really Now?

 

[CupWizier]

fuck that shit that was a stupid ass loss

nobody really cares what you say as we all know you are just here to troll just like you were before the stoppage.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Fuck jaylen brown

Can't wait till Stotts is gone

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Anyone know if that was career high assists for Dame?

 

[brooklynballer]

Absolutely ridiculous shot. I know he shot the Blazers back into the game but there is a time and a place for those kinds of shots, and that sure as shit wasn’t it. A nice post up by one of the bigs to continue to build the lead or a high quality look for a teammate (especially given the Celtics started sending doubles at Dame) would’ve been a better option imo.

 

[Chris Craig]

Thanks Nurkic for keeping us in the game

Thanks Gary for you production and energy

Fuck everyone else

Boston has a more talented team than Portland, only Blazer fans would think otherwise.

Boston's roster is way more vertsitile and allows Stevens a ton of flexibility. Stevens is a fantastic coach too.

Just Nurk. Zach has some stone hands. I don't know how many passes he bobbled this game.

Unless he made that shot, then it was good.

They look so good because of Stevens. With Stotts they would look like shit

 

[Tince]

"Of course we were looking to get a three." "Dame made a reactionary pass." - Stotts

 

[tykendo]

I think we really need that lottery pick and run it back next year healthy

You're funny

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Thanks Nurkic for keeping us in the game

Dude Dame was awesome

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, the legend of Gary Trent Jr. continues to grow, at least. Kid loves the big stage!

 

[Tince]

That's one theory. I'm not going to bash on Stevens, he's a great coach. I don't think Stevens could take this Portland roster past the WCF though.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dude Dame was awesome

He cost us the game
