Now how can we stop Lebron and AD? lol

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I remember a time when 73 points was considered high scoring at the end of 3 quarters.

Shit 73 was the amount of points we would have with 2-3 minutes to go in the Nate years

 

[Shaboid]

6 points isn't enough to make me feel comfortable, but whatever.

How is it possible that all these teams are so deep. All nets or nuggets or 76ers back ups are unbelievable. And we have total trash bench. Simmons is trash. Collins and henzonja all trash

We have Whiteside and Trent who are ballers. But year it seems like most teams are like 8-9 deep. Our bench is throw up outside of those 2. Makes me miss our bench from last season.

Our defense has that sort of effect.

Yep and here comes the dreaded 3rd qtr

 

[Serbian]

Stotts is a terrible coach. Instead of understanding that Whiteside is better than nurk he avoids making adjustments because he likes nurk and doesn’t want to hurt his feelings. Its pathetic how a pro coach is so soft. Nurk and zach are totally trash in the bubble. I get it long lay off but hasan got to be major starter.

You could win a playoff game with 73 points in the 1990s.

20 isn’t comfortable with this defense, the only comfortable lead is a meteor hitting the opposing teams bus, and with our luck the meteor would mutate them into MJ tier players instead of killing them.

 

[BlazerBeav]

No reasons Simons should be playing.

The reason was Trent’s third foul

 

[EGame]

Our defense has that sort of effect.

Anyone remember Yogi Ferrell? He lit us up and I don't even have a clue if hes even the league still.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Yep and here comes the dreaded 3rd qtr

We had super 3rd qtr vs Celtics.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Barkley is spot on. Worst defense in the league

 

[DUB]

Nets are taking more threes, and shooting them better. We're killing them on the boards, especially offensive. Both teams have a similar number of turnovers, but the Nets are making us pay for them, we're not making them pay for theirs.

 

[B-Roy]

The reason was Trent’s third foul

I know why he was in game. But it doesn't play, you continue playing Trent.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Anyone remember Yogi Ferrell? He lit us up and I don't even have a clue if hes even the league still.

He plays for Kings. He got big contract from Dallas for that game against us.

 

[beast blazer]

I miss our bench of kanter hood and curry

 

[illmatic99]

I dont get why we are so awful on defense. Like no awareness at all

 

[B-Roy]

No one outside of Trent puts any sort of pressure on the ballhandler. Even if you're in the right place at the right time, players in this league will make shots if they don't feel any sort of pressure.

 

[Irish Trader]

Well we will see in the second half if the boys want to go fishing

 

[Labinot41]

Neil better works his damn ass off in the offseason and fix this garbage

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Good things:

CJ +12
Hassan 6/6 FTs
24 bench points

 

[B-Roy]

Blazers players just let whoever they're guarding get comfortable. You need guys that will actually make players work for tough shots.

 

[DDolla]

it’s really embarrassing that this team can’t play Defense... smh

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I miss our bench of kanter hood and curry

Bench is playing well tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

giving up Wiiiiiiide open shots every time. making me pull my hair out. When dame hit those two threes, we should have created at least SOME separation, but no, we give up two wide open threes and net effect is 0. ugh

 

[PCmor7]

We don't scramble well.

Fuck the salary cap
