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

[AldoTrapani]

Stotts gonna Stotts.

When will we stop being surprised by the porous and unacceptable results?

Almost 10 years as a coach. Completely unheard of in the NBA with no championship or even a finals appearance for a team

 

[tykendo]

Dame has played fine other than his shot is off. He's not the only one. Only Nurk is hitting shots consistently. It happens. It's not the defense either. Boston couldn't hit the broadside last game, today they can't miss, even on many contested shots. Dame will get his shot back. This always happens when he returns from time off. We've gotten plenty of good, open looks. Just not falling. Refs need to be more consistent too. Not saying we haven't fouled, because we have, but Boston is getting away with a lot of body.

 

[VenomXL]

Nurk with three fouls.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Stotts gonna Stotts.

I criticize Stotts as much as anyone. Not sure how you blame him here. CJ and Dame have been non existent. Rotations were fine aside from Whiteside coming in too early, Stotts didn’t really have a choice though.

 

[VenomXL]

Wow. Tatum is on fire.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Omg Tatum is eating us up!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Tatum wow

 

[B-Roy]

I like how Dame is taking the challenge of guarding Tatum.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Dame has played fine other than his shot is off.

“Dame has played fine other than not doing the thing we need him to do the most”

Lol

 

[Titan]

Tatum is just playing unreal

Dame is not allowed to get criticism here. CJ can but not Dame

 

[VenomXL]

Still missing wide open shots. Not gonna help the cause.

 

[James lamphear]

We look better but the ball off the rim sure bounce there direction led to fast break.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame can't beat anyone off the dribble right now.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Told y’all Nurk is our best player.

 

[blazerkor]

Tatum is just playing unreal

Oh no, it's real. I can't think of a guy we have in the rotation that could match his length, speed and shooting. We just don't have the personnel to even limit a guy like him if Stotts won't give Nas or Wenyen a chance.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame can't beat anyone off the dribble right now.

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

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Tatum did this to us last time. Fuck him

 

[Chris Craig]

Oh no, it's real. I can't think of a guy we have in the rotation that could match his length, speed and shooting. We just don't have the personnel to even limit a guy like him if Stotts won't give Nas or Wenyen a chance.

Wenyen would stop him

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck Tatum

 

[VenomXL]

Wide open three there.

Maybe change the coverage on Tatum at some point?

 

[HailBlazers]

Maybe change the coverage on Tatum at some point?

Why? It's working so well.

 

[VenomXL]

This is insane.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Great defense Carmelo

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow I can’t imagine what the raptors lakers celtics clippers would do to us. I’d rather take the lottery pick this year and run it back again next year

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Sigh

 

[A$AP Meyers]

This is insane.

Nothing insane about professionals hitting wide open spot ups? You must be talking about our insanely bad defense

 

[VenomXL]

Hats off to Boston. This shooting is bananas.

 

[Titan]

Flop?
