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

Just and absolutely pathetic performance from dame

Yeah I think a shooting slump is pathetic. I think being told to guard a guy like Tatum who is both bigger and faster than you is pathetic. I think the fact that he will end up with a double double is pathetic. Oh and the way he's keeping his head up is pathetic. His fucking shot is off, that is really bad for our team but the term pathetic doesn't apply.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

How is that even remotely possible.... he had four months off

No one said he was tired but you can get hurt no matter how long you have off.

 

[Labinot41]

Facts: Dame is not healthy

Ecxuses ecxuses...

 

[A$AP Meyers]

So because that happened twice you think we shouldn't change the coverage on Tatum and let him keep killing us? Your logic is terrific.

You do what you can do to change the coverage and give other looks. It doesn't mean it's going to work, but you do it to give yourself the best chance. Stotts apologists in full force again...

I don’t like Stotts at all. But way to project. The fact is this is a horrible matchup for us. It doesn’t matter what ballscreen coverage we choose. The Celtics have the weapons to exploit it. Tatum hedge or double, and he’s going to make the tag man in help side pay. Go under screen, he’s pulling up. Go over screen/drop coverage, he’s snaking the dribble and pulling up. He’s 6’9 with a Paul George-like offensive game. We have nobody who is 6’9 and can move. Be realistic.

Actually we had one guy. He opted out of the bubble.

 

[tykendo]

Whiteside needs to bring it NOW!

 

[B-Roy]

I don't know how Mario won minutes in the scrimmage games with his play but Wenyen did not.

 

[Tince]

19 minutes Gary, 27 minutes Melo.

Hood and Ariza would be much better options.

 

[Hoopguru]

Get Carmelo out if there put Herzonia in

 

[VenomXL]

Gary!

 

[Darkwebs]

Zach has some butter fingers

 

[illmatic99]

I think Zach is more effective in lineups where he's the lone C

 

[Titan]

Go Trent

 

[Darkwebs]

I don't know how Mario won minutes in the scrimmage games with his play but Wenyen did not.

Maybe Rio plays his best ball when the game is meaningless

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Trent is so fucking good

 

[Darkwebs]

AAHHHHH! DAME 3 AND ONE!

 

[VenomXL]

Boom!

 

[B-Roy]

Please come alive Dame.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame

 

[VenomXL]

Wow. Dame’s defense!

Then they throw it away.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame with the rejection on the bigger Tatum! He's bringing his best when it matters most

 

[B-Roy]

WHITESIDE YOU FUCKING MORON

 

[Shaboid]

dame is god

 

[Tince]

Whiteside so casually throws away a great defensive possession by Lillard

 

[blazerkor]

@AldoTrapani what's going on, I thought Dame sucked.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Is Whiteside fucking serious?

 

[illmatic99]

Dame woke up. Finally.

 

[illmatic99]

Is Whiteside fucking serious?

I don't think I've openly hated a player more. Throwing the ball away after that kinda defensive effort from Lillard. Ugh

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[B-Roy]

Whiteside is fucking unplayable.

 

[VenomXL]

It’s happening. Just need to clean up the stupid mistakes like that last turnover.
