[Idog1976]

Fun game so far!

 

[Idog1976]

Best year around the rim by a good margin...at 32.

Crazy

What do you mean? At 32 points scored at 1' or less or what do you mean here?

 

[riverman]

Dame has taken over Hart's rebounding duties

 

[riverman]

Keon comes in and we lose the lead

 

[HailBlazers]

Fun game so far!

Need C!

 

[riverman]

Cam Reddish is better than Nas

 

[B-Roy]

And there goes ant

 

[DDolla]

The Blazers are so boring to watch

 

[BigGameDamian]

DOLLA doesn’t have an assist tonight.

Dame is having his best year percentage wise around the rim (inside 10 feet) at 32 years old and at just a tick below his career volume.

Especially impressive for smaller guard.

 

[B-Roy]

This team is lost offensively without Dame. Lost defensively without Thybulle.

 

[riverman]

It's a game !

 

[DDolla]

we need a win before we get destroy on the road

Grant has 21 pts...that's help

Watford is a fun player to watch. Such a weird hodgepodge of skills. He reminds me of a poor man's Draymond.

 

[andalusian]

Watford is surprisingly good for a 2nd year, undrafted player.

Sure, he makes mistakes at times, but the blazers got a lot of value with him.

I think he's learned a lot from Winslow

Undoubtedly true, but Watford can really score and is at least a modestly credible threat from 3.

Uniquely skilled for his size, but his defensive issues are really tough to overcome.

Truly a man without a country.

 

[DDolla]

Even if we win this game, this team sucks

 

[blazerfan11]

Shaedon Sharpe is responsible for our bad defense ! Everyone else is so much better.

 

[LayneStaley]

We aren’t very good, this loss could be huge come lottery time.

 

[julius]

I don't like how this team sometimes plays like they're much better than they are (or they're clueless about how bad they are).

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow only 6 pages? Lol

 

[JDC]

Trendon is right up there with him, Nas as well

 

[Idog1976]

I finally figured out who Herb Jones looks like to me. He looks a bit like Marlo Stanfield from "The Wire.".

I am listening to Mark Jackson and all i can think is why is he not in the league as a HC and can we replace Billups with Jackson. I am sure I am in the minority in thinking this but Jackson is smart and when I see Billups on the sidelines I want to put a chat / thought bubble over him that says -- "hmm what to do what to do ???? " cause a person can be a good basketball mind ON the court like he was but on the sidelines not sure it translates. I like Billups but I am coming to the conclusion he might not be the right man for the job.

 

[illmatic99]

Trendon is right up there with him,

he just looks at guys instead of contesting at the rim. but most egregious for me is grant. he's pretty much just a volume scorer right now. giving us literally nothing else. no playmaking, ole defense, LOL rebounding.

desperately need his athleticism on the glass but he's content getting his usual 4 per game in 36 mins.

Yep I'm starting to become convinced that Billups is completely unable to adjust in game, or really over a season. What about Brad Stevens any way we can pry him from BOS front office?

Grant sucks
