Emergency GT: Magic (8-6) @ Blazers (7-6)

Post #121 » by **FFBlitzace** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 4:12 am

It's just annoying how everything reverts back to what doesn't work as soon as something starts to go wrong. Even AG's shot right now is starting to slow down and get released on his way down, like he used to. Everything was great and was working and now it's just agonizingly transforming back into what we know for sure is going to lose.

Ross hasn't taken a shot in 13 minutes. I'm not making any kind of judgment on that, since his unselfishness is a positive thing in that lineup. I'm moreso just flabbergasted that we as a team can't get one of our shooters a single attempt.

Is this where I point out it looks like they hate playing with each other?

I know people always mockingly do it when we're playing good and think it's an actual conspiracy theory, but I think our team bickers way more often than any other team since I check out a lot of other games. Or maybe I just notice it more cause it's my team?

Did you watch the previous 2 games where the exact same thing happened and we got blown out in both games? Can you blame us?

We'll see man, but a 17-0 run screams a team that can't stop the bleeding. It'd be nice to see this team when we're reeling out of control that someone can get us a bucket or draw a foul, but nope we continue to make mistake after mistake.

We need a star that can get to the line, that is obvious.

Dude averaging 20ppg and shooting 50% from 3 on the season played 4 minutes and touched the ball zero time in the entire second quarter. Should that be something that happens?

I don't care if we win or not. I want this team to play like a team and Vuc/Evan refuse to do so when the going gets tough. They preach team ball and ball movement but there was a play where AG was WIDE OPEN in the corner, Evan looked at him and proceeded to run his play without passing the ball to the open man :banghead:

I mean obviously it's a 4 point game with an entire half to play. In a general NBA basketball sense, there's still a ton of different ways this game could play out. I think we all understand that. But after watching this team, specifically, for many years, I just don't see this game as being on the table anymore. I want them to prove me wrong and turn a corner, but until they do it, I'm not going to fool myself.

Pretty much reality.

1. The Warriors are the friggin Warriors. They blow everybody out.

2. Denver was winning by 16 at the end of the 1st Q. There's no such thing as "blowing a lead" that you only had in the first six minutes of the game.

This game isn't over.

Vogel preached to him that less is more and is applying that strategy literally.

I'm being sarcastic by the way. I'm a bit confused how we do not run some plays for him to get him going.

I've been noting that Evan/AG for a long time and called crazy and 'looking for something that's note there'. F that, it's there. I didn't see any frustrations so far tonight but there is no doubt that something is going on there.

Let's see if we go back to playing like a team in the 2nd half or just watch Evan and Vuc pass the ball back and forth to each other.

Its bigger than that with this team. We spent the last two years doing the same thing. If they want to be a playoff team they have to show the ability to respond to adversity. Expect people to continue to hold them accountable until they do.

What a half assed closeout by Evan. Just trots out and blows by, Lillard has all day to reload.

You know what I hate the most about the buddy-ball thing?

A) If AG does it, David and Jeff call him out about it...
B) AG thinks it's okay to play selfish because he thinks he won't see the ball again
