Game Thread GAME# 14: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOVEMBER 18, 2019 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[Five Second Violation]

All good points. So it was a BAD night from him?

Mixed bag I would say. We know he can get a triple double any time he wants to though, for better or for worse.

Blazers last night:

YOU GET AN AND ONE ! YOU GET AN AND ONE ! YOU GET AN AND ONE !

 

[kjironman1]

If that doesn’t work dame will be 31 in 2021 I say trade him

Boy is that gonna go over well..

Like i have been saying S2 Pure Entertainment!

 

[kjironman1]

This team is going to go on a run. We'll make the playoffs and get to at least the 2nd round. At the end of the season, we'll look like a very different team (not personnel, but play).

Well. You will get some "Likes" for that statement.

I would think you would get more "Likes" for this statement....

 

[Hoopguru]

Watching Little last night, he reminded me of young AFA when he entered the league.

 

[Blazers Roy]

it's really noticeable how differently the Rockets are playing Dame than CJ. Dame gets no daylight at all on screens and drives. He's doubled constantly on screens and the defense collapses on his drives. CJ isn't doubled on screens and has lots of daylight on his drives

teams just have good success challenging the other Blazers to beat them

Yep, won't work on players like Lebron,Kawai or Harden though.
CJ can't score 80 points, so there must be some other workaround for this problem.

I know we got smacked tonight but on a bright note..... the first 3,000 fans in tonight got a Russ bobble head. Luckily THE HCP knows people. Don’t be jealous!

Now just strap an m80 or two to it.

 

[KingSpeed]

So this one of those times when you guys have to tell me...... did Russ have a good or bad game tonight? I always get confused. I mean, nobody on OUR roster got a triple-double, but I always remember in here that’s a BAD thing right? Please set me straight.

He missed 8 threes. He shouldn’t even be taking half that many. If he does that in playoffs, Houston will fail.

 

[KingSpeed]

I thought that's why we signed CJ McCollum, and Rodney Hood. Is CJ not a credible threat making $27 million to be a credible threat?

I think the problem has been needing a credible thread from the forward positions.

 

[tlongII]

Have you seen our December schedule?

Nope, but I don't think it matters. We are that bad.

 

[KingSpeed]

4-2 Road trip... Booked it, you will thank me later.

Looking like that. But there are people here who think only 6-0 is acceptable and if we do less, we’re a horrible team with no shot at playoffs.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Well the answer to that is not really because we don't even know if those guys will be healthy and if they are how much they'll actually contribute. Plus at this point last year there was no way to know that we'd end up bulking up the roster with Kanter and Hood so similar type moves could still happen this year.

Bottom line is we can't find out the answer to the question if we don't stay in the playoff race though so I'd like to be able to be in a position to actually find out.

Doesnt matter anyhow, cause we lost last night.... sigh....

Who's said that, exactly? Or are you putting thoughts in people's heads?

 

[TBpup]

Looking like that. But there are people here who think only 6-0 is acceptable and if we do less, we’re a horrible team with no shot at playoffs.

Please post quoted examples of those people who think like that so they can be called out. My guess is, there aren't any examples. #FakeNews

It’s an idea

 

[Blazers Roy]

Dame has been bad the last 2 games : / hopefully he bounces back

That's not how we do things around here.
Open a "Trade Lillard" thread instead.

 

[kjironman1]

That it is.

nah everyone gives a complete pass to Lillard. He can spend the entire weekend rapping then go 0/15 from 40-foot-3s and watch while he is dunked on 7x and people will just say he’s “playing like CJ”

unnecessary disclaimer that is sadly necessary: I’m not “shitting on” Lillard. I’m making a point about bias.

Imagine having this take.

I literally can't

imagine constantly posting insults bc you can’t make an argument.

I've literally made 100's of post defending my beliefs.

Dame is the franchise, your post was stupid.

where in my post did I say that Dame ISNT the franchise?

The point of my post is that no matter how bad of a game Lillard has, blazer fans will defend him. I even made an unnecessary disclaimer just so you wouldn’t interpret it how you’re interpreting it. Lol

Putting a disclaimer on a stupid post doesn't make the post any less stupid.
