Butt ugly win but I'll take it! Nurk got the old school double double with 9 of 12 pts at the line...that doesn't happen often...Nas had a good game

 

[Scalma]

Listen, it’s time to have a discussion about Nas. This team clearly plays better when he’s on the court.

 

[Hoopguru]

Good job Blazers!
Perseverance builds fortitude and fortitude builds character!

 

[James lamphear]

It's a win not impressive win but a win. Little double double tonight and Nurk too. But Little might been the difference for us winning this game by his play at both ends.

 

[BBert]

Without him tonight they are down 10 instead of leading by 10.

It's great CJ played hard and had a good game. It doesn't change my opinion that he needs to pass to wide open shooters.

 

[DDolla]

Blazers just beat a garbage team… congrats. Now time to watch a real team play between Bulls and Warriors

 

[Mr. Robot]

cj mccollum 7/21

thats 33%, but motherfucker just kept on shooting

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Yeah. Good.

What team is going to show up next game.

I have an amazing lack of confidence in this team.

 

[DUB]

Calabro got @THE HCP good!

Seriously though, great for Grant HS to get a shoutout.

Both the shoutout, and ripping on @THE HCP shows you how much the broadcast team all likes him and how good at his job he is.

 

[James lamphear]

Dame passes. Sometimes he shouldn't. You don't get out of a shooting slump being afraid to shoot.

You usually don't get out of slumps by going iso all the time. But he was 4-9 from the 3 and he is the point guard where he supposed to get others involved.

 

[DUB]

Best thing about the game was Nas.

Second best thing about the game was Calabro clowning @THE HCP .

 

[Scalma]

Snell is pretty meh too, can we get DSJ back in the rotation

 

[BBert]

How many air balls did Houston shoot? LOL

 

[BBert]

Speaking of meh, Zeller has been terrible for a bunch of games in a row. I'd honestly rather have Meyers.

 

[blazerkor]

We got our road win but it did not instill much confidence. We played a bad team and didn't look especially great against them. Let's see what happens against the Nuggets.

 

[hoopsjock]

At last the Blazers have their first road victory of the season after beating the Rockets tonight in Houston. Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to discuss the game!

yeah, he looks bad. Wonder if the mask bothers him.

could use more nance at 5. need to consistently get him more than 25 mins

 

[Scalma]

Thing I’ve noticed is we get killed on the boards when he plays center. Really wish we’d make a trade for size.

 

[illmatic99]

also, if he's open and in the corner, Snell just never misses.

 

[Scalma]

Someone tell our GM

not entirely larry's fault. defensive scheme has him at the screen up top.

You clearly have taken a blow to the head. Meyers was slow as molasses on offense, and rarely, if ever, made the right decision on defense. But he could sure flex those big manly muscles of his.

 

[BBert]

Let’s add
We should all hope Dane starts scoring as well.

He's passing up opportunities he used to take. IMO he's thinking too much, the offense has him out of his rhythm, and his focus is broken. Dame will fit in and find his groove. Keep the faith, brother.

 

[Scalma]

I’ve seen him get straight up beat for rebounds numerous times. Size is size.

I have, in fact, taken a blow to the head.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

 

[BBert]

Little laid the wood on WOOD!

Got away with the offensive foul, then Nas got away with the hammer LOL

 

[Fairly-Hard]

It's great CJ played hard and had a good game. It doesn't change my opinion that he needs to pass to wide open shooters.

Agree. Everyone should pass to open shooters.

 

[BBert]

Listen, it’s time to have a discussion about Nas. This team clearly plays better when he’s on the court.

Nas was a whirling Dervish. Just played on a different plane than anyone else on the court.

 

[BBert]

Yeah I think that's the most times I've seen Dame take it to the basket all season.
