Game Thread GAME# 14: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 15, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

Vonleh beasting on the boards for the 2nd game in a row. Nice spark off the bench from Noah and Shabazz.

 

Bench mob is a difference maker!

 

We got 17 points from the bench 11 from Napier. Small unit work well and give Stotts our offense wasnt working good and then he put in 4 scorers and 3 that can shoot the outside shot so good adjustment. Noah already got 6 boards in this game so active on the boards.

 

Now bring zach collins at PF and we have 4 shooters

 

Watching what that Napier, Dame, CJ lineup can do just shows how much better this team would be with a real weapon at the 3. Moe is not what this team needs at that position.

 

When I said trade for Bledsoe I envisioned a few minutes each game with him on the court with Dame and CJ. If it can work with Bazz it'd definitely work with Bledsoe.

 

Exactly.

 

Well the idea is don't play matador defense like we did for most of the half to allow them to take stress free shots, and they probably won't shoot 67% against us.

 

Wow. They were ahead 47-34 with 5:44 left in the half.

 

If you want the Portland broadcast here you go.

17 -0 run to finish the 2nd

 

Wheels brought back the boom shaka laka to the team

 

We are jump shooting team so we need players that can fit that role. Our starters we got 2 players that fit that bill and once in a while Nurk it a 18 foot shot. Harkless is not type of player and neither is Swanigan occasional both will hit a shot outside.

 

Wait, so Terry liked that 3 guard lineup so he decides to start the second half with a 3 guard lineup... except the 3rd guard is Pat. Who did nothing except brick wide open shots in the first half.

 

DO IT

 

Turner does not start. How about we get someone for Harkess? At least ET has handles.

 

Nice to get Dame a couple of open looks.

 

Gotta finish through that contact, Nurk.
