Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 8: BLAZERS @ NETS - AUGUST 13, 2020 - THURSDAY, 6:00, TNT & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

Play some fucking defense, good lord.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I mean clearly they do or they wouldn't play there starters

They literally are playing for nothing. It’s just exercise for them. You would think blazers playing in their game 7 would be demolishing them off the gates

 

[VenomXL]

I wonder how long it’s going to take to get a free throw. Seems like the Nets are getting away with some pretty physical defense.

 

[EGame]

Nothing comes easy of this team. Need to activate Dame Time early

Its clear they want the ball out of Dames hands. He will still probably get his, but he aint getting no 50 points this time. Its up to the rest to hit there open shots and so far they haven't been great at it, especially Nurk.

 

[Dametime61]

why tf are nets even playing their starters and trying to win this? They literally have nothing to play for, their seeding is confirmed

 

[Labinot41]

We need massive improvement

 

[blazerfan11]

Whiteside looks fully awake and involved.

 

[julius]

I think this quarter shows why Damian had to score 51 and 61 the last 2 games. Sure, CJ is doing good, but lordy...does this team realize if they lose they're done?

 

[Mediocre Man]

How the fuck are we tied with this glorified AAU team?


They DO understand that they need to win, right?

 

[MadeFromDust]

Don’t forget guys nets don’t even care about this game lol

They're not playing like they don't care. They are swarming Dame.

 

[wizenheimer]

this game looks like it will be on Dame's teammates because the Nets are doubling and trapping Dame every time he touches the ball. That's been the Blazer kryptonite for 5 years.

 

[AldoTrapani]

God this is embarrassing

 

[craigehlo]

Nets looks like the team with desperation. This team is soft like the coach.

 

[Shaboid]

We need to bring the intensity!!!! Better defense!

 

[EGame]

They literally are playing for nothing. It’s just exercise for them. You would think blazers playing in their game 7 would be demolishing them off the gates

You are right, they are playing for nothing playoff seeding wise, but clearly they are playing to win. But keep on thinking whatever makes you feel better

 

[GhostOfPGA]

36 minutes, seasons on the line men, build a lead and don’t look back.

 

[DUB]

Them - 31

3PM/A(%)
Us - 1/6 (16.7%)
Them - 4/10 (40%)

It doesn’t matter Blazers should be demolishing them but we are so overrated except dame

 

[blazedanugz]

Uhh dame....not the game to get passive

 

[Labinot41]

Whiteside looks fully awake and involved.

Yep, he's outplaying Nurk the 2nd time in a row in a must win game. Whiteside deserves credit

 

[blazerkor]

If they didn't care and were just there for "exercise" they wouldn't be trapping Dame and playing ball denial with him. Come on man, yeah we should be doing better but the Nets came to play at least in the first quarter.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

It doesn’t matter Blazers should be demolishing them but we are so overrated except dame

The nets have the same record as us in the bubble, they are playing well as a team.

 

[Irish Trader]

Nurk is rushing his footwork needs to slow down and get better body control before he shoots

 

[FlashWad]

Nets are playing to ruin Portland and Damian's reputation thats all the motivation they need.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow we are not that good. Unless Dame is on some historical shit this team are losers

 

[EGame]

dame needs to come in like now

 

[Dametime61]

this defense is pathetic man, wake tf up

 

[EGame]

can someone get that scrub outta here?

 

[Jon]

Ugh... where the hell is the defense?

 

[AldoTrapani]

This team sucks man
