Game Thread GAME# 11: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 13, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

For the 2nd straight game the Blazers come back from a big deficit and have now won 4 games in a row. The Blazers Uprise Post Game Show begins now:

 

That 70% shooting or whatever the fuck they had in the first quarter isn’t a sustainable way to win a game, especially with their defense. What’s yours?

 

impressive...

maybe it's more impressive how quickly somebody can generate an obscure stat like that.

Nurkic might be the first player to score 18 & 12 with 3 blocks and 9 FTA's in 30 minutes or less....on a Wednesday in January in the Pacific time zone on a day when the president has been impeached

 

Great win and comeback (twice) but if weak team's like Sacramento are putting 126 on us we have no chance with the better teams of the west

 

I’m still mad on that Bulls game

 

But the Blazers brand of basketball is?

Irony. Look it up.

 

huh? it's not that obscure. no turnovers with that production is really impressive. Dame and CP are the only ones to EVER get 40/10 without a turnover.

 

I thought the Blazers played their game for all 4 quarters, while the kings had 2 burst plus followed by droughts that let us hang around. This all goes to show 20 point leads just not safe anymore in todays game. Early 2000s ground&pound game rolling in their graves.

 

you'd think that most times when a team wins the rebound battle by 4, the assist battle by 7, and shoots over 52% on FG's while making 19 three's on 50% shooting...they'd win

but kings are gonna king I guess

 

Blazers are in the playoffs every year.

Levels. Look it up.

 

"It's a great day to be a Blazer!!!"

 

I'm really happy Dame and CJ had such an amazing night offensively and that is why we won but for everyone in here asking why it was hard to close out the Kings. The answer is obvious and it's one that's getting really old now. Any perimeter defense that plays Dame and CJ 85 combined minutes is going to give up an extremely high 3pt fg% (tonight 50%). Dame and CJ have to always out score the points that they just give away non stop on defense. It's a problem and it catches up with us less times in the regular season and more times in the playoffs.

They are two spectacular offensive guards but they are a horrendous defensive back court. And it is them, it's not RoCo and DJJ or Trent... I mean Hoodie and Melo don't help but having your two leaders in minutes played, both be perimeter defensive liabilities is never going to be a recipe for a championship. That being said I love both of these guys when surrounded by good-great defenders that can knock down some shots and make their layups.

 

Now let’s win all our 7 home games

 

Can't wait to go back and read this thread, I'm guessing there are some nice meltdowns!

 

Lolol isn’t that every game thread?

 

Enjoy the win, we don't get them every night!

 

Very true! Usually I follow along some during the game, but I wasn't tonight. I feel like it's going to be even more fun this way!

 

That’s what happens when you’re ranked 30th in defense.

 

Dame & CJ, the first teammates to each have 25 points, 10 assists, and 5 threes in a game... EVER.

 

CJ is sick this year. Now that a Harden deal is off the table, we have no choice but to hope CJ has finally made that leap.
