And then it fell off a cliff in the second quarter.

They could not stop the dribble penetration at all.

Did you not notice a anything else there on that play?

OG with a great offensive game and we still down?

Pascal with his usual trash defense

Fvv being selfish

Scottie nerves

Smells like a L

Some good things in that half, but we really need to clean up the defence still. I know the Blazers have hit some great shots, but shooting close to 60% should be unacceptable against a team with the defensive potential of the Raps.

Still, I liked a lot of what I saw on offence. There were definitely some signs that Pascal, Scottie, and OG can work together on the court. Pascal was consistently finding the open man, OG was scorching, and Barnes made some nice plays too, even though he missed a couple of gimmes.

- Scottie d’d up dame, dame falls down. Blown call
- Scottie clapping not the refs, tech called
- dame fouls Fred at the fast break, no whistle
- clear path not called correctly

This is the way it has always been. It's just less noticeable when the team was a contender.

Leo's good as an analyst in studio. Much better than as a colour guy.

Then he also has Barnes guarding Lillard and CJ at the perimeter with a low defensive stance.
The kid is a physical freak but you can wear him out like this man.

Don't forget nurkic shoving him to the floor in the 1sr

Barnes gotta play bigger now that he's going against size

They just played a replay of the Blazers feed when that happened and they laugh and say "Barnes got hammered". C'mon refs.

Barnes -11, only negative player on the starting lineup.

Banton hit a rookie wall or something?

Depends on whether the call is for or against the Raps.

The intent is to stop chase down fouls when there is no one between the player and the basket. Really, the NBA should adopt the G-League rules on this type of foul, even if it's not a clear path this one would have been one free throw and the ball.

Then the ref needs to let it go, play advantage, don't kill a breakaway. I read an article last year, some refs do do that.

Maybe that's too much discretion though, it would end up favoring the glamor teams or the stars. They need to make a rule about the take foul, as they cleaned up the unusual offensive move fouls.

EFF3KT · Post #811 » by **EFF3KT** » Tue Nov 16, 2021 4:13 am

Scottie missed a couple gimmes that he's been hitting all season so he could easily be at 12 points while barely being featured. Imagine once he eventually gets the keys. O_O

I hope they go away from Banton in the 2nd half he’s killing them on both ends,

I believe part of that was having both Fred and Trent on the bench

He stopped calling the game and went off topic way too much with matty.

So obvious that Ed Malloy is one of those refs who is internally furious he was never good enough to have anything more than a D2 college career and now he has the power to control more talented players.
The 1950's haircut matches the stick he has shoved up his ***.

Barnes was on that garbage lineup where the Blazers made their first run. That's why his plus minus is so bad atm.

seanbig · Post #817 » by **seanbig** » Tue Nov 16, 2021 4:14 am

Scottie a team worst -9 and the bench all negative

to be fair nick pulled him right before we started hit crazy 3s. i think the - 11 is just circumstancial. at least imo. and then bench minutes

There’s a difference between covering a game for 2.5 hours and summing up a half. Leo is missed as a PBP guy.

We're an average team with an average ceiling with the current pecking order. The sooner the fans and the organization realize this and start transitioning into more scottie Barnes development, the better...

Well, the Blazers scored 44 points in 19 minutes that FVV was on the floor and 17 points in 5 minutes FVV was on the bench. So a difference of about 110 points in a game or 170. Not a big difference though...
