Game Thread EARLY/MORNING GAME! GAME# 22: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - FEBRUARY 6, 2021 - SATURDAY, 10:00, NBCSNW

And I remember long time ago, being down 6 points 2mins to go you were going for quick two and go back on defence. Bc 3point plays had lower chance to go in. Not any more.

 

Smart try... no Hurd it’s not about using up fouls it’s about we need a steal not knicks making FTs

 

They should make them watch Washington game on the plane home. Great example of ball movement and getting away from isolation game. We have good shooters you need to move the ball. Ball moves faster than people.

 

knicks are not a playoff team, but theyre not trash either

last game on a road trip, im not mad about this loss, 3-3 is very good with all of our injuries

 

Did you just see the push-off by Randal with 2 minutes left? He grabbed the rebound with one hand and pushed off with the other. That happens all game long. Is it a foul? Sure, but they never call it. And the foul on Melo should not have been called either. (Unless he threw an elbow which he did not) The ref called a foul on something he thought he saw, but never happened

 

Guys, Stotts doesn't have enough on his roster.

Thibs: Seriously!?

 

I can talk about the game or criticize the team...all the while liking the coach and players.......you don't get to talk about my mediocrity...that's personal and has no place in a game thread. I'll withhold insulting you over it

 

Rebuild is coming soon. Simons Trent and Little are the future just need to find a star in the coming lottery years

 

I'm amazed this team went into today tied for 4th in the West. Way above realistic expectations given the circumstances for sure.

 

Steals, Blocks, and Offensive Rebounds

 

I'm not surprised at the result. The Knicks aren't the awful Knicks we've seen the last decade. It was the last game of a long road trip. Dame and DJJ were coming back after missing time with injuries. We just had an emotional win.

Truthfully, I didn't think we played all that badly. We did the bad things we typically complain about. The only real difference was we missed a few more open shots and got down and missed a few more open shots at the very end that we've come to expect to make.

This road trip could have been much, much, much worse.

Now, just hope Dame's OK and we go home.

Things I was encouraged about:

1. RoCo seems to be settling in. He's hitting his shots with more consistency and even doing some stuff inside. Playing a bit like Gerald Wallace. Still a few silly mistakes in this game, but I thought his good outweighed his bad. He's getting better.

2. Ant, even on a minutes restriction, is finding his role. He's figuring out that he can be more than a 3-point shooter ... which, ironically, is making him a better 3-point shooter.

3. I thought Blevins did a great job on the bench.

 

And still should be better. Losses like this, OKC, Chicago - gonna haunt us as we play better teams.

 

Don't bother though. It won't be enough for you either.

Nothing will. Consider this the last time I hold your hand and show you the light.

 

Game over...get home and get healthy! Go Blazers!

 

When Dame plays that doesn’t happen

 

3-3 isn't bad, but after destroying the #1 EC team in the 76'ers, to come out and get rolled by the much inferior Knicks is somewhat disappointing.

 

An absolute garbage effort in the second half
