Game Thread GAME# 58: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 21, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

There's no comparison because one has had much better teammates, even teammate who were better than him.

 

I'm really more inclined to blow this team up then try to tinker with what we have hoping the waters to an NBA title will mystically part for the Blazers. There's not good chemistry with this group, and not a good plan on how to make them work together, and I'm really at a loss to see where there's a move to be made this offseason that could make the Blazers dramatically better.

I just think the changes Olshey could make while keeping this nucleus together is going to frustrate fans for another season.

 

The problem with this is that it doesn't take into account that Kanter got to play a much larger percentage of his minutes with Jokic off the court. Stotts had to cut off Nurks rest because Kanter was getting torched so badly. That hurt us down the stretch when Nurk was tired.

 

DJJ was missed as was Collins. Incredible effort since we were so short handed.

 

God I saw the replay - not only should Roco have just kept going to the rim - he had CJ coming free right down the lane. Awful.

 

How many minutes would you have liked him to play and who would you have taken them from?

 

same one we all were watching! Nurk is a slug! It’s true. Kanter is a beast - love this guy and his content hustle and positioning.

 

I was shocked he didn't go right at Jokic, who is about as slow of foot as Kanter. Missed opportunity.

 

I just know Kanter would’ve grabbed that missed 3 by Dame.

 

Hahaha. Nurkic 3/11 gtfoh dude. It’s ridiculous with this guy

 

12 min from everyone would’ve helped.

 

Technically you don't know that... you're guessing that might have happened.

 

You would've given 12 minutes to DJJ and taken them away from who?

 

Most of those were tips when he was keeping a play live. Like he scored on a play due to hustle but in the boxscore, it’s 1/4. Understand?

 

Losing one possession games over and over will either bring the team closer and ignite a fire or will demoralize them and crush their will. Should be interesting.




Fire Stotts.

 

He still needs to get in better shape and improve his decision-making.

 

What will happen we will drop to 9 or 10 spot might even not make playin game. This team under stotts stinks. Unless our pussy GM decides to fire stotts in next 10 games we not making playoffs and its good thing because we will get swept in playoffs. Only hope is stotts is fired in next 2 weeks. Grizzlies will win 3/0 against us. And ya need to be content with it. Stotts is a clueless idiot

 

From everybody. Few minutes here, few minutes there.

 

If you can't name who's minutes you want DJJ to replace, that's not a very strong endorsement. You can't just take 90 seconds away from 8 players without doing some funky subbing.

 

Btw anyone still supporting Stotts is just a straight homer. We don’t have a plan on offense or defense and if our best player isn’t in “hero” mode we lose. Those are facts. He needs to fucking go, a decade of this shit is enough, he’s literally hurting Dame at this point.
