Game Thread 2022-23 Game #60 - BLAZERS VS ROCKETS - FEBRUARY 26, 2023 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[illmatic99]

lillard and grant have been very aggressive

 

[illmatic99]

these brooke interviews of players talking about upcoming winning streaks are cringeworthy.

 

[riverman]

can anyone send me a link to a good streaming site? All the links I've been using lately have been atrocious and unwatchable on my TV. Any help would be appreciated!

Rip City Radio 620 online is free if you don't mind the radio...personally I love listening to games.

 

[MickZagger]

Blowout win.

You’d hope. The Rockets are the worst team in the league and missing their two best players.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damn f'ing Dame!

He says this is the time for people to step up but with 13 quick points in the 1st quarter he's clearing showing that he doesn't want to play in the 4th qrt. NOT WANTING TO PLAY IS NOT STEPPING UP!

 

[illmatic99]

0 interior defense.

 

[riverman]

Dame is on track to score 80

 

[illmatic99]

nas is the answer to the poll i believe. i read this during the draft.

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t think we need to tank anymore, the losses are gonna come anyway. We look pretty equal to this 13 win rockets team imo.

 

[LayneStaley]

Grant isn’t a max player.

 

[riverman]

Keon has been losing leads whenever he's subbed in lately

 

[Chris Craig]

Keon has been losing leads whenever he's subbed in lately

Yeah, not liking him being in the game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Why isn't Houston trying to lose?

 

[illmatic99]

still confused about the moves this team made at the deadline.

if dame is gonna kill himself like this, why the fuck would you not give him another big or a rebounder? someone who would contribute even a little bit towards this season?

we have a 1 pt lead against a team that is actively trying to lose while dame has 16 in 10 mins

 

[illmatic99]

Why isn't Houston trying to lose?

we are giving them wide open driving lanes to the rim with no resistance when they get there

Dame's had a year off and rested a lot this year...I don't think anybody is killing him, I think he's just been beasting and looks healthy.

nice to know the org thought so much of him that they would get him 0 help.

hell, they actually sold guys at the deadline.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame is amazing

 

[Labinot41]

Dame about to drop 80 on this atrocious Rockets team

 

[riverman]

Dame is part of the front office. He knows exactly what's going on but I don't think he's got zero help...injuries have him playing with 3rd stringers. Thybulle is the first All NBA defender he's ever played with. Let the new guys break a sweat and learn the plays maybe

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nurk sure is Yellow.

 

[MickZagger]

Senguin just owning us in the paint

dame is part of the front office now?

keep rationalizing this shit however you wish.

not even giving the greatest player in franchise history a fair shot and you seem to be OK with it.

 

[Freshtown]

Why has Sharpe played 4 minutes in the half?

 

[MickZagger]

I didn’t see a foul there

 

[Labinot41]

I kinda want the Rockets to hang around so Dame can go for 100 not gonna lie

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Drew has the things he does but Watford seems to be just a little bit stronger.

 

[Strenuus]

Same way lebron is part of the front office of his team(s)

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Walker is fun to watch.

yeah...he's in Chauncey Jody and Joe's ear..they've talked about it but this isn't the season to have a fair shot at a title, he knows it, you know it and I know it....Jerami Grant is help...so yeah...I don't want our starting centers and second best scorer injured like anyone is ok with that? Perspective. This season is about finding the keepers on the bench...the guy we wanted is a Laker...fuck Danny Ainge..big difference between being ok with it and understanding it
