Game Thread GAME# 13: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOVEMBER 18, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Fez Hammersticks]

Both teams ....aren't playing har'

 

[Strenuus]

We aren't even good, it's just the Rockets are worse. Holy Jesus.

Houston is no where near an elite team... probably one of the worst... so can't gauge it off tonight. But yeah, we haven't been good for a little while.

 

[Sinobas]

I like Frazier at backup PG rather than the CJ experiment. CJ should be a Jason Terry/Jamal Crawford type 6 man. Allen Crabbe has been having a good couple of weeks!

 

[LuckyShot]

For all the complaining about him, Aminu does have 8 points on 4 shots and 7 rebounds.

The thing is, his production on offense came entirely on shots in rhythm. All the complaining I do is about his idiot plays where he tries shaking and baking to create a shot and ends up turning it over or throwing a such a shitty shot it basically is a turnover.

I love his hustle on both ends though. He just needs to calm down with the ball in his hands. If he has the ball and sees no advantage to get to the rim or to shoot it right away, he just needs to run the offense.

 

[Sinobas]

Ed Davis....is he really an upgrade from Joel Freeland? I"m not seeing it. At least Joel could hit a jump shot and was a decent FT shooter. And he'd have been a lot cheaper.

 

[riverman]

Frazier with 3 assists in 5 minutes

Ed Davis is a slightly taller, less stupid Thomas Robinson.

How did Houston go from WCF to this? Did anyone hear call this in the prediction thread? All they did was lose Josh Smith and add Ty Lawson.

 

[PDXFonz]

I can clearly hear the players it's so quiet... lmao.

One time Lillard fouled someone and he said "What the fuck did I do?"

Also tried to do the refs job for them when they failed to call a delay of game.

I really liked the flow when Frazier came in. More please. I think he deserves, no, NEEDS a good hard look as a rotational player.

Fraizer looks good because Houston is so fucking bad at everything.

Aren't you jumping to conclusions?? It's only been 12.5 games. I thought you wait 20 games!

 

[KingSpeed]

He played D badly last year too and they made it to WCF.

 

[Sinobas]

Ed Davis is a slightly taller, less stupid Thomas Robinson.

But Robinson is a better rebounder....and much cheaper.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think he made more of an impact on defense, and that's only because Ty Lawson felt like he had to shoot over Frazier because he actually has someone he can shoot over. He jacked up a few long jumpers that led to easy points for us. Plus Frazier was a bit of a pest.

Agree. He came in, played decent D, and got the ball to the hot man (Crabbe).

 

[KingSpeed]

Olshey made a couple good second round picks in Will Barton and Allen Crabbe.

Did I make a totality in my comment?


Look, I know you want to think I make blanket statements and that I am black and white in my thinking and you hate that I am patient. But I am not. I can see that the last 6 games (You know, those 6 where we lost, and only looked good in spurts) we have not played as well as we did the first 6.

It was a valiant effort to try to bait me again. But, again, you fell short.

I still love you.

 

[Strenuus]

He's played worse D this year.

That, you know, was my point.

 

[LuckyShot]

We are still struggling in the same 2 areas as our other recent losses: too many turnovers and too many offensive rebounds for the other team.

I'm not baiting you. I'm just saying if you're not gonna say we're good when we're good (which you didn't), then don't say we're bad when we're bad. Stay consistent.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nice move Vonleh!!!!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Smooth move Vonleh

 

[LuckyShot]

Wow, Noah. Nice play, don't ever fucking do it again.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame just needed to switch baskets.

 

[julius]

Ed Davis is a slightly taller, less stupid Thomas Robinson.

I just quoted this to emphasize the fact I liked it because your bluntness made me laugh.

 

[PDXFonz]

Haha F the rockets, I seriously have no sympathy for their players/fans/coaches

They just have so many unlikable players.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is fun. Teams that play at home after their coach is fired usually dominate but we're killing them.
