Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 1, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

Simple: Because the Warriors still move the ball and players while we didnt.

 

Nope, because losses and wins arent directly correlated to coaching. They still play a good brand of ball but have horrible personnel.

 

Giles is better than Collins

 

Arguable but certainly right now yes.

 

Giles didn't outplay Collins, he outplayed Nurk and Kanter. I think he deserves minutes.

Regarding the game, I'm very happy, I feel like I've seen progress. Dame asking to guard Steph and doing a nice job, CJ even played some defense.
And the defense turned into offense that I thought for most of the game also looked good.
Nice win

 

@THE HCP isn't serious about all of this "does this team/coach/player suck now?" shit. He's making fun of all of the posts in here that overreact to a performance or handful of performances. I'm pretty sure he knows Kerr doesn't suck but I guess I could be wrong.

 

gotcha. What were you posting last year? Same thing just not as accessible this year?

 

Great win. Nice to see us dominate from start to finish, give our young guns some run snd not have to overplay our stars!

 

Fun reading the gloom and doom over the Warriors in today's paper.

 

so you are saying other fan bases are emo fans just like most of us?

hope you had a wonderful new year btw!

 

We need to keep Rock engaged. He's taking only 6 shots a game. His defense hasn't suffered as a result but we need him to find his rhythm and his shot while becoming a legitimate threat. I wish we'd run plays to find him as a spot up shoot.

He needs to be around 36% and it would open up so much for dame/nurk/cj.

 

Last year he had access to the "Quote Book". This year the media is handled a bit differently i assume???
I really liked Quote book. Gave some insight to what players and coaches were thinking at the time a decision or play happened. For me it put the human decision making perspective to things. We can all go "Stotts should have played Giles sooner last night" but there was a decision that was made and the Refs were making it for him. I would like to know what his thinking was? The "Quote Book" answered some of those questions. Also Melo moved up on a couple career stats. I'm wondering if that made some of the decision on playing time?

 

Sly losing a step.

 

I agree.

I actually expected a lot better from him because he's a lot more engaging and a lot less mechanical as a host on Blazer talk shows. Hey! he's very young and inexperienced with a huge upside!! (doesn't that work for poorly performing Blazers?)

I never liked the Callabro/Hurd combo....mainly because of Callabro. Hurd was horrible the first half season he was the analyst but he grew into his job and stopped trying to be a comedian

still, give me Mike & Mike over what we've had since they were canned

and Steve Jones was the best analyst ever on Blazer broadcasts

 

I guess I got a little scared when I saw Green was back and Blazer-killer Paschall would be playing and then a graphic showing Curry and Wiggins getting better every game and course a lot of hoopla about Wiseman lately. But I guess Green is not there yet condition-wise and Wiseman didn't look good; if I had only seen him in that one game, I would have taken Wenyen Gabriel over him. I think Curry might have a super game Sunday, so we better be ready!

 

I'd call it just stupid. Only justification I could see is it would limit slightly the chance of a Covid breakout on the team. Maybe it will pay off.

 

I hope you can bring your posting game up a level.

 

He still looks so unsure as to what he is doing, doesn't he. Seems like he needs more coaching help.

 

You aren't too far off. They all do different things better than the other, but I can't help but think Giles has the highest ceiling.
The longest wingspan of the 3, best hops, best handles, and had the biggest hands in his draft class. Not sure how Kanter and Nurk's hands are but they sure seem to have problems holding on to the ball. Nurk is still best for now, but Giles is very intriguing with his quickness, dribbling, and passing. His weight is the one drawback at only 240 for a center. (Fine for PF though)

 

Winning a sporting event is not rape. Losing it sporting event is not being raped. Thank you for pointing it out.
