[AldoTrapani]

Called it

yea but we suck this year so that’s not saying much

 

[BonesJones]

Cmon Nas… Hit a shot...

I would've hit one of these 3s by now...

 

[BigGameDamian]

God I wish paul allen was alive he wouldn’t take this shit

 

[illmatic99]

These wide open shots we keep missing. Man.

Melo has to be salivating

 

[Chris Craig]

Little needs to stop shooting

 

[riverman]

another bricked open layup

 

[AldoTrapani]

Little needs to stop shooting

It’s not even close either

 

[James lamphear]

It's not Dame's fault man...

So it the coach fault because Dame can't get rid of ball before he get double. He see the same defense over and over and still can't figure it out all these years. Now it the other players job to give him outlet and can blame the coach if hasn't work on those situations.

 

[VenomXL]

Dame is barely clipping the front rim. He’s gassed.

 

[BonesJones]

Would be nice to use Dame off the ball a little bit. Fuck.

 

[Blazers1977]

Cmon Nas… Hit a shot...

I would've hit one of these 3s by now...

That’s the downside of playing a rookie with 2 games of experience.

 

[riverman]

Terrible defense by Nas on Harden there ..gave him a 4 ft lane to the rim

 

[KingSpeed]

too many turnovers

 

[AldoTrapani]

Look how Harden breaks that double team when one of his players comes to the free throw line all he does is dish it off there and there rest is easy

When you get trapped at halfcourt and have no outlet pass and your coach keeps running sets which are horrible against pressure defense and aren't designed to handle it well since you have to sit at halfcourt for 10 seconds to let the whole play develop, you expect Dame to handle that well?

 

[hoopsjock]

Can't give these guys 2nd chances.

 

[VenomXL]

Getting smoked by a much better team. Not really a surprise. It’ll be interesting to see what Melo can add to the equation.

Are you blaming Stotts for playing him?

 

[AldoTrapani]

A lot of rookies make those shots, Little just can’t shoot

 

[riverman]

I'd bring Baze in for Hood for defense now

 

[KingSpeed]

Cmon Nas… Hit a shot...

I would've hit one of these 3s by now...

No you wouldn't have.

 

[TBpup]

What is this 'lob' thing the Rockets do for uncontested layins/dunks? They do it with a player much smaller and with a shorter reach than the opposite number on the Blazers teams. It seems like a really easy look.

Maybe we should try that.

Houston isn’t even that good fuck this team. It’s the blazers vs Harden and it’s not even close

 

[Strenuus]

That’s the downside of playing a rookie with 2 games of experience.

The upside is we would have won the TORONTO game.

2-1 because of little if we didnt have stotts as a coach.

[bobf]

Little needs to stop shooting

He needs to keep shooting till he can make... but mostly in practice.

coaching. They practice that shit and know how to find easy shots for their shooters

 

[KingSpeed]

It's true. A lot of good rookie shooters this season. Herro, Nunn, Washington, etc etc.

 

[Blazers1977]

I would rather have Tolliver in against a team this experienced and good at drawing fouls.

 

[B-Roy]

11 to 4 on the offense boards.

 

[riverman]

Lot of game left..
