Game Thread GAME# 7: BULLS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 5, 2021 - TUESDAY, 7:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

25% vs 0%. It may not be a great reason, but it's a reason.

 

That is inexcusable. Garbage basketball. Does Stotts even try? I don't think he cares. Either that or he thinks that's the best way to play . Take your pick. Laughing stock of the West for sure. The entire team should all be ashamed.

Why all the talk about Dame being a great leader? Leading to where? Mediocrity? If Dame is the leader then he deserves some of the blame. Frankly I am getting sick of all the Lillard hype from the portland media.

And coaching???

"They made some shots".

 

Trent should have got more burn tonight.

 

I don't understand the criticism of playing Melo and Kanter together. Maybe defense is bad but offense is A++. We built the big lead when those two guys came in during the first half.

 

It's the same movie that we've seen for the first 5 years

 

Their +/- is TERRIBLE Eric.

 

So you know, as someone who actually IS insane and works with people who are insane, I get offended when someone says that. My bipolar disorder has nothing to with doing the same thing over and over again. And doing the same thing over and over again CAN yield different results. We've won 3 games and lost 4. Same team, same offense, same defense, same coach, same players, different results every other night.

 

Their defensive rating is terrible. But they bring a lot on the offensive end and that is often overlooked. Like I said, when we played our best tonight, both of them were on the floor. Nurk was awful at the start of the game and DJJ couldn't hit a shot, including a dunk.

 

It's a much bigger picture than just the last 7 games.

 

Last year, we had an entirely different team.

 

Utah was beaten by 36 pts tonight....we lost by 3 pts....don't feel so bad....every team is experiencing some bad losses in this disjointed covid shortened season. ..

 

So many fan bases are having melt-downs this season thinking their team/coach is the most incosistent, hot mess, in the history of basketball.

 

Amateurs. We have years of experience in thinking our coach is a hot mess.

 

Except all the issues that exist for us don't exist for all those other teams, and I've been pointing it out for years. But those issues don't matter to you, which is fine.

 

Lmao true

 

This game should went with the weird pattern. The way Bulls were playing, like they couldn't glue two 24s without travelling... Blazers should blow them of the city. Any team would.

 

Finally you guys are seeing what I been telling ya

 

Dame lost a step or something. I know @Natebishop3 noticed it too. But something is up with dame. I know it’s easy to blame Stotts because he deserves it and sometimes Melo and kanter playing together but Dame scored 0 2nd half FG until the final seconds. What’s up with him this season?

 

The main pieces, Dame, CJ, and Stotts were the same... as they have been for years.

 

And Melo.

And it's like those TV news. "He was such a good neighbour, always saying hello and thank you. Hard to belive he held those women in the basement."

CJ, Lillard and Melo plays like high school superstars under Stotts for years now. 3 after 3. All this "great culture in this team" is going south and is more and more exposed. I don't think this "culture" goes further then those 4 guys.
