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

[OneSport3]

Random question of the night: looking at everything (including contracts) would you take Capela over Whiteside?

Whiteside because of the expiring contract. Both are limited offensively but Whiteside is a better rebounder.

Any team with a good defensive game plan can make Capella unplayable like the Warriors did.

 

[James lamphear]

Damian Lillard throughout his entire career has handled pressure by hitting the outlet man instead of trying to go 1 on 2. With help defense waiting.
His entire career he's put his team in a position to play 4 on 3 out of the pick and roll.
That's the right basketball play.
If you don't like that. Go watch OKC before they traded Statsbrook. You'll see how effective it is to go 1 on 2 with help defense.
You put up numbers, but you don't get W's.

You can worship Dame all you want but I watching him enoughto know he makes bad decision sometime in the game.

 

[Jon]

I fucking hate the Rockets.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lillard blows a bunny if that doesn’t show you somethin is up with him then I guess I’m a dude named Tunchi

 

[bobf]

You have to make harden beat you with the step back 3. Over and over

 

[illmatic99]

Wide open layups

 

[Jon]

Is it too early to put in the 4th string?

 

[VenomXL]

Fire up the plane.

 

[illmatic99]

we better not run Dame into the ground tonight with a game tmrw

 

[Blazers1977]

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

 

[OneSport3]

I know for sure that Melo isn’t going to help with this pathetic defense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

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

Be careful you’ll be accused of being a Tunchi

 

[B-Roy]

Rest dame and save for tomorrow.

 

[illmatic99]

LMAO he went straight to the rim. No help

 

[VenomXL]

This defense is the fuckin WORST.

 

[jonnyboy]

I can’t do this. I’m just gonna let my wife watch The Voice. More likely to see defense on that show.

 

[illmatic99]

Do we have a coach on the bench?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hosuton is so fucking garbage they are lucky their facing us

 

[bobf]

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

Yup... but better than playing guys who’ve been playin for five years and still suck.

 

[riverman]

How many layups are we going to brick?

 

[TBpup]

Do we have a coach on the bench?

Enabler/Coach....in this case, largely the same.

 

[riverman]

Hosuton is so fucking garbage they are lucky their facing us

Houston is pretty far from garbage..

 

[BonesJones]

Sit Dame. We play again tomorrow and he's fucking exhausted. We're not gonna come back from this deficit. He's getting trapped and pressured and Stotts has no answer for it anyway, so Terry needs to stop being dumb and rest Dame...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Look at westbrook happy

 

[AldoTrapani]

Houston is pretty far from garbage..

fuck them

 

[Driew]

Rocket's announcers "Portland lucky they signed Terry to an extension..." don't tell Blazers fans haha

 

[AldoTrapani]

Sit Dame. We play again tomorrow and he's fucking exhausted. We're not gonna come back from this deficit. He's getting trapped and pressured and Stotts has no answer for it anyway, so Terry needs to stop being dumb and rest Dame...

Yup

 

[TBpup]

Will Westbrook 'wave goodbye' to Dame after the game?

 

[BonesJones]

Lillard doesn't get that call.... Lmao.

Rest him Terry, you fucking idiot.

 

[VenomXL]

This shit is ovah. It’s depressing to see Westbrook outclassing Dame tonight. He needs rest.
