Game Thread GAME# 48: BUCKS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 2, 2021 - FRIDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

Quick can’t wait to see what happens. Love it. He’s about to put the pressure cooker on Stotts

 

Because our roster is underrated as fuck by people that want to make it out as trash to make Stotts out as some basketball savant that turns shit into gold. We have a great roster. You can make it out to be trash as if we should always get blown out by good teams. As I said in my quoted post, nobody is stopping you.

 

Whats funny is that's been one of my critiques of Stotts that's been shot down... We agree on this, you're just misinterpreting what im saying...

Switching it up on a possession by possession basis doesnt mean you're supposed to employ two contradicting helpside principals on the SAME possession, which is what Im referring too.

Switching up schemes doesnt mean running parts of multiple schemes at the same time.

 

I think we both agree that there is a ton of talent on the roster. It seems like you think the right coach could make that talent work together but I think we need both another coach and a couple of moves for better fitting pieces... same level of talent. Then we'd be great. The thing is if Olshey's slimy ass decides to finally throw Stotts under the bus this off season, I think you'll probably get to see if you're right.

 

I mean sure. The roster can get better... but it's ridiculous how we get blown out pretty regularly by good teams and people just scream "personnel!".

Everybody bitched about our forwards. We went out and got RoCo and a 20ppg scorer on elite efficiency that's athletic and can defend and its "personnel".

 

We're going nowhere with that bum Center

 

Can you tell me why you bitching on him? Honest q. I didn't see the game. All I got on him, a long time now, offensively he is not Beast, he tries to be point guard instead of bulling and dunking. What else is wrong?

 

defense was bad, but thats long lasting issue, so nothing knew there

but it was a really bad shooting night for us and i wouldnt read to much into it, shit happens

 

Lol

 

Death, taxes, and the Blazers getting blown out by good teams

 

Stotts is a fucking trainwreck

 

When you come into the game with the gameplan of guarding him with Nurk and Melo, he's tough to handle yeah

 

Eh, for an utter beatdown it wasn't that bad, really. I felt like we missed a ton of wide-open looks. I mean guys were getting open shots that they just weren't seeing against shitty defenses like Detroit and they just couldn't hit them tonight. It just changed the tenor of the whole game when everything just seemed to clang.

I knew we had no answer for Giannis other than to score three points when he scored two. Our only defense is a good offense, and tonight our offense just wasn't very good. A little of that was Giannis and Holiday disrupting things, but a lot of it was just missing shots our guys normally make.

I've rarely been optimistic after a beatdown, but this may be one of those times.

 

I'm all for Stotts bashing, but to be fair, it’s not his fault that the players are missing shots, easy shots. Especially Nurkic, it’s mind blowing how many easy shots he misses at the rim. And please dont come with that "he will figure it out" bullshit or "he needs some time" excuse. This is who he is, a guy who after 7 years in the league stil cant make an easy Layup or floater. That's not Stott's fault

 

He did try to dunk twice. At least he did that. I was kind of shocked actually.

 

There's that word "Schemes" again. Not saying you are wrong. I do get what you are saying.
It does seem that this view tends to forget those are people and players on the court. They are not Droids and they don't work with a hand held controller.
Players sometimes make decisions on the court. Opposing players respond in turn. On the court situations change very quickly.

 

We were too hyped up.

 

Now one our starting fowards didn't even see the floor in the 2nd half. We all don't know what's going happen when Zach comes back so let approach that when it happens instead just cutting him down. Matter fact he has foul out less then Nurk and he try contest anything around him not like Kanter. You guys look at advance stats to much instead his play that he actually plays.
