My Bazemore Bubble has Burst.

I didn't expect a lot.

And I got less.

id bet money Trent will see 0 minutes tonight. Playing time isn’t earned around these parts.

OK Dame JR already got that Dame look like we are not losing tonight

I just got a 24 hour blood pressure monitor put on...and then I remembered that I have tickets to tonight's game. The Blazers could affect my diagnosis ffs! Go Blazers! Keep me calm tonight!

deep breathing can lower blood pressure 10 pts in 6 breaths.....I've been doing that since CJ talked about it....he does it before free throws to settle down

Every time my kids are having a freak out moment, I always tell them deep breaths, and it works like a charm. Get them to slow down and breathe.

This notion that I have high blood pressure makes me nervous which makes my blood pressure rise... and around we go!

I learned as a parent that the fastest way to make a baby stop crying is to blow in their face....babies brains grow at an incredible daily rate so the way they gulp oxygen to fuel that growth is by crying or laughing....it's not usually because they are upset...they are trying to load up on oxygen most of the time

Cant wait to see the Blazers back in the Rose Garden. It feels like they were on the road for hundred years. BRING THE FUCKIN HEAT

That worked with 2 out of 4 of my kids, the baby right now when you blow on her face she loses it.

blow my face ho

 

[kjironman1]

Blazers will win by more than three.

So what's the betting terminology for if I wanted to bet that? (I'm not a gambler.)

Take the over.

 

[riverman]

blow my face ho

it's too late....you've already missed out on the brain cell growth ho

 

[gatorpops]

Wish we had.

I wish their were a Boo button for these posts. Mods

LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE

That boy cost us our 2017-18 season by being born during a playoff push, lol, but he's so cute!

 

[wizenheimer]

I voted for Rodney in the poll....Lamar Hurd mentioned Rodney has the highest 2 pt field goal percentage in the league

I missed Hurd saying that; I'm not sure where he got that but it's way off. Of the NBA players who have logged at least 100 minutes, Hood ranks 111th

now, logically, there are a lot of bigs on the list, but there are a lot of wings and guards to:

Pat Connaughton .714 Damian Jones .712 P.J. Tucker .674 Allen Crabbe .667 Ersan İlyasova .657 Meyers Leonard .651 Dorian Finney-Smith .643 Giannis Antetokounmpo .643 James Ennis .640 Marvin Williams .625 Luka Dončić .621 Jabari Parker .613 Malik Monk .609 Terrance Ferguson .609 Emmanuel Mudiay .603 Robert Covington .600 Gordon Hayward .600 Rudy Gay .592 Avery Bradley .589 Wesley Matthews .586 Mikal Bridges .583 Tobias Harris .583 Kyle Kuzma .581 Markelle Fultz .578 Kyle Anderson .573 Jae Crowder .571 Delon Wright .566 Ben McLemore .563 Jalen Brunson .560 Harrison Barnes .560 Maurice Harkless .559 Devin Booker .558 Kyle Lowry .556 Kris Dunn .550 Bradley Beal .550 LeBron James .549 Rodney Hood .549

as a long-armed lefty, Hood has a nice shooting stroke no doubt

I wish he'd add more to the mix though. Dame and CJ have higher rebound rates than Hood, and that's been a Portland weakness. And Hood's assist rate is really low...another Portland issue. He should be better at both those things than he is

Try brushing your teeth first!

I think it was something about the highest percentage on 2pt jumpshots.

 

[jlprk]

Yes! Rodney deserves attention for scoring from many spots at key times. He has a great looking shot, and is currently virtually tied with 62.8% at the top of TS% with Hassan who is at 63%.

minutes, TS%:

Gallinari 482, .630
Hood 487, .628

Both in 16 games. Good scoring matchup tonight at forward.

This is gonna be tough watching two games at once; Oregon vs. Seton Hall on ESPN2. I really like Oregon this year; I think they will be better than last year by end of the season. They all seem to be buying in to the system faster than last year.

Damn they booed the shit out of em...hope NOP wins too

 

[Road Ratt]

Welcome to Portland Melo!

Go Blazers!

 

[TBpup]

OLD SCHOOL uniforms....anything but the red ones.

 

[BonesJones]

I like how Blazers Broadcasting shows the lineup introductions now. @THE HCP that's your compliment for 2019, now give me my yearly like.

 

[B-Roy]

Melo LOL, get outta here Hassan I got it.

 

[Strenuus]

So how we gonna lose this lead?

 

[BonesJones]

15 points in 3 minutes.... I like it!

 

[James lamphear]

Dame handing out those assist tonight.

 

[HailBlazers]

WE GOT STARS

 

[Chris Craig]

Love the movement early. Utilizing the pick and roll. Getting the ball to open shooters. These jerseys make it even better.
