Game Thread GAME# 18: BLAZERS @ BULLS - JANUARY 30, 2021 - SATURDAY, 5:00, NBCSNW

[Chris Craig]

It didn't look that hard and he shot his free throws afterwards. Remember it was at the end of the game while boxing out during a free throw, Enes hooked Randle's arm and that swung it with Randle's wrist or hand hitting RoCo in the face.

The one concerning thing is that I think RoCo has had at least one other concussion in his career that caused him to miss games and then last season he got hit but didn't miss any games, so it was not called a concussion and he didn't go into the protocol. ESPN has him listed as day to day but when I just searched the Washington Post had him listed as out for the Bulls game but we'll see. I would trust ESPN first but who knows.

Going to be out for a 3rd game, wtf

 

[wizenheimer]

concussions can require a long recovery

my brother got a concussion on the job and he was still having headaches and cloudy vision 10 days later



this is only the 5th day for RoCo

Billy Donovan is going to out coach Terry again.

Like that series where Donovan took his 2 all-nba players and lost 4-1 to Portland, with their 1 all-nba player, 0 additional all-stars, and missing their 3rd best player.

It sure looked pretty hard - and caught him right on the jaw. Julius Randle is a very powerful human being.

I'm not sure if you saw or not, looks like you didn't, but it wasn't on that play it was in the first quarter and he collided with DJ's shoulder! Drilled him right in the back of his head. He immediately winced and grabbed the back of his head in pain.

don't think it was that play. his neck got hit by Jones in the first half and they listed him as having a neck strian

You mean the series when in our 4 wins Dame averaged 35.5/5.5 with over 2.5 steals a game while shooting 47% from both the field and the 3point line ? Ending it with a 50 piece and a game winner from 40 feet while the whole team other than him was producing nothing that game ? That's the series you're talking about right ?
Yeah, good job Terry.

I did not - thanks! Crazy he played the rest of the game with a concussion!

Starting to be pretty obvious not everyone can see your posts.

Ya, we had a few shots of him where he looked a bit winded or out of it. That dude is a warrior.

Yes ANOTHER person who has me on ignore, HA!

Do you think that the shot from DJJ gave him a minor concussion and then the shot at the end of the game that came from Randle could have made it even worse? If so isn't that on the training staff for not noticing and taking proper actions?

Yeah, good job Terry.

So you're saying Donovan couldn't beat a team where only 1 player was playing well? You'd think someone with 2 all-nba players, both good defenders, would be able to scheme up something. Or maybe the coaching just doesn't really matter that much. OKC fans sure thought Donovan blew it, but I guess all fans think that.

Yeah, we can be frustrated with Stotts and still appreciate that he does excel at times.

Lillard saved Terrys ass big time in the OKC series

Actually I think it was Curry. OKC had to cover Curry and well as CJ and there was no way to hold Lillard down.

Without his hot streak we would have been ordinary. You are spot ON!

 

[stampedehero]

January 30th is my sister in law's birthday and with that obscure fact, the Blazers will win.

Yes, more of this! If you can do both, that's an accomplishment many cannot.

Except he was not hot against Denver and we went on to beat them despite the Nuggets being the best home team that season.

Having a 45% three point shooter was a nice advantage. Going to see very different looks vs people shooting 30%.

Initially, OKC was the subject but your mention of the Denver series was also another Dame appreciation.

I agree Dame was amazing against OKC, top top notch! Not so much against Denver, though he required so much attention, it allowed others to produce. Love having him on our squad!

I wish he was playing and with the excellence level we witnessed in his first season with the team.

Another loss

 

[THE HCP]

Another loss

So according to your past posts, this should make you happy. So we shouldn’t see any negative posts tomorrow night from you right?

[Labinot41]

The whole Blazers Team is questionable

I am very serious when i say they need a third player that is consistent. Curry was that piece. Average defender that would absolutely make another team pay for leaving him open. Trent has shown signs of this. I'm still hoping!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yes it does. I want the lottery pick. No use to give rockets our pick this year if we make the playoffs just to be sacrificial lambs for the good teams.

I said it before and I’ll say it again Curry was very nice for us. We haven’t really been the same since left. Great defender too
