Game Thread GAME# 12: NETS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 (PST), NBCSNW

PAUL ALLEN, FIRE HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

who gives a fuck, man has athleticism

 

This isn't all on Stotts. Yes, his line ups tonight were brutal. His substitution pattern was odd, and we are under performing. HOWEVER, this roster is so flawed. We don't have solid vets, who have "been there before" to get the team through shit like this. We have guys on our roster who literally have added nothing to this season. A team wanting to take the next step, can't have a 10mm per year scrub, a top 10 pick in a loaded draft who can't get off the bench, and what seems like 12 guys who play the same frontline position.

 

Yes, more projects please

 

I don't think this AT ALL.

 

So let's put this into perspective. Portland is going through a transition to become better defensively.

Last year Portland ranked 11th in offensive efficiency 1.061 and 25th in defensive efficiency 1.074.

This year, Portland ranks 14th in offensive efficiency 1.040 but 5th in defensive efficiency 0.973

This team is actually net better.

Patience

 

The first 2 games are really skewing the data....no this team is not better, we just lost at home to the Nets.

 

If Stotts had a young Shaq on his team, he'd probably pull him at put a 3rd PG out there, to match up with the other team subbing in a 3rd guard.

 

Isn't it ironic that our paint is literally colored like a red carpet?

"Right this way sir, go right ahead and get your free layup".

 

In post game interview, Dame said they were having problems attacking the Nets defense because they were small and quick.

We've already seen that they struggle against length. I suppose our only hope is to face a medium team.

 

Agreed. Take out the best and worst game so far, recalculate and see where we are. That is what is often done with averages with computing data. Also, our SOS can't be very good. A lot of weak teams and mostly at home. Wait till we start playing real playoff teams.

 

Well playing .500 ball and being in no mans land is better?

Shit atleast there’s a chance albeit a small one that we can draft the next good one

What we have now is pointless we are not that good

 

'Small & quick' is not accurate. Nets were MUCH bigger than Portland.
When you have Shabazz (5-9), CJ (6-2), & Pat (6-4) going against 6-6, 6-7, & 6-9 you're put at a major disadvantage

 

I gotta go, my damn wiener kids are listening.

Scroll down a bit and listen to the first 7 minutes of the podcast. Dwight UNLOADS on Stotts and Orlando Williams completely agrees.

 

Man, I know this is short term thinking, but we are getting nothing out of those two picks we traded for Collins. At least play the guy a few mins here and there. He hasn't scored a point all season. Top ten pick with no PT is ridiculous. How bad is he???

 

Being injured to start the season didn't help him. It's might be a bit like when Stotts wouldn't play CJ after he was hurt to start the season.
