Game Thread May 12, 2021 07:30PM MT: Jazz vs Blazers

[bopahull]

The jazz are absolutely sucking this quarter

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Playing with no heart or energy.

 

[Hekate]

Royce has done well on Lillard but we are missing his size in the paint and on the rebounds. Need Conley there so we can match up well.

 

[LogGrad98]

We need to tighten up on defense. Everyone is a step slow except Gobert but he can't do it all by himself.

 

[prodigy]

Would have been nice to have Conley this game.

 

[MT Steve]

I feel like if this game had less importance we'd be doing fine. I was worried, given our propensity to choke, that we'd choke in this game.

And having our worst 3 pt shooting night against a team that can't guard the 3 at all in a big game is a pretty big gag job.

 

[Avery]

No way we can win shooting 27% from downtown.

 

[bopahull]

We need another 24 point quarter from Clarkson

 

[Hekate]

We just need to stick around. We can grind it out. We look exhausted and our shot isn't falling but they are only playing 8 and will probably fall off as the game goes on.

 

[zyzz]

SMH how did Rudy not catch that sweet pass by Jingles

 

[bopahull]

Come on Rudy

 

[MT Steve]

Gobert has a pretty unforgiveable habit of playing like an absolute moron when the game isn't going his way.

 

[bopahull]

Can't have Forrest taking all our 3s

 

[Hekate]

Is Joe getting jingled or is he setting them up for some big jingles?

 

[MT Steve]

Portland has only held one opponent to under 100 all season.

This is pathetic.

What we're seeing right now is the Jazz really displaying the exact same levels of mental toughness that enabled them to blow a 3-1 lead.

 

[bopahull]

If we play like this in our final games the 2nd seed might be in our future

Or what we are seing is a tired team at the end of a compacted season playing without their 2 all-stars for the last 3 weeks, which is putting more pressure on the other guys.

Can you imagine what Portland would look like without Dame and CJ?

 

[bopahull]

passed up 3 open 3s on that posession

 

[Rubashov]

Forrest cannot ****ing shoot

lol, Houston scored 129 against Portland recently, with over half their team dead.
