Game Thread GAME# 19: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 27, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

I want Rodney to play with us for the whole Dame era.....the guy is under control and unselfish

I think Rodney wants to too.

 

[KingSpeed]

Simons has been underwhelming latley

He's in a little slump.

 

[TBpup]

Skal with the 'Sheed' jumper.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Skal! I love Skal off the bench, still not sure he should be a starter but he's been really good the last two games.

 

[riverman]

What a flop by Schroeder

 

[BigGameDamian]

Carmelo...The dude just scores!

 

[James lamphear]

Only reason it isn't bigger blow right now because we continue to foul to much.

 

[riverman]

MELO

 

[Chris Craig]

What a flop by Schroeder

I like that Bazemore called him out for being a bitch

 

[KingSpeed]

Melo should've joined our team two years ago. He would've been much happier here and we might've already won a championship with him.

 

[DDolla]

Anyone notice our rotations? Melo and CJ comes out early then return before the quarter ends. Always has some Vets in there with the young guys

 

[Chris Craig]

Melo should've joined our team two years ago. He would've been much happier here and we might've already won a championship with him.

I think the experience in OKC and Houston actually helped him to have his current perspective. He might not have played as well if he came here instead of OKC/Houston.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Well I know it's only two games, but this is their starting 5's of the rest of the season (probably) first two games together all year and they've looked pretty good to me... I realize it's only CHI and OKC, but it looks better when people are in their natural positions

Yeah, weird how much better it looks without Tolliver or Hezonja starting lol

 

[KingSpeed]

I think the experience in OKC and Houston actually helped him to have his current prespective. He might not have played as well if he came here instead of OKC/Houston.

It is absolutely shameful what CP3, Harden, & D'Antoni did to Melo's reputation. Playing like shit and blaming it on Melo. There's no reason Melo shouldn't have been playing for the last year.

 

[Road Ratt]

Great to see the Blazers have a game like this.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hell of a 3rd! Now the Blazers need to weather a few more runs in the 4th and bring it home.

 

[BigGameDamian]

We'll just have to settle for winning the championship this year!

 

[James lamphear]

Another pretty good quarter on the defense end we been solid at that end tonight.

 

[riverman]

Nice first home game for Melo.....the fans needed this one

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah, weird how much better it looks without Tolliver or Hezonja starting lol

We're so much better when neither of them play at all.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Or Whiteside and Hood playing. Don't get me wrong I think Carmelo has been better than I Thought he would be, but CJ I think is the only starter who's played every game for them this year. They should never have started Tolliver at C and didn't need too. The starting 5 finally looks healthy and ready to go.

 

[PCmor7]

I think the experience in OKC and Houston actually helped him to have his current perspective. He might not have played as well if he came here instead of OKC/Houston.

This.

And I think the stuff that's been said about not really being communicated his role held for both those stops, too.

 

[TBpup]

Baze.....never ever ever ever ever shoot that shot again.

 

[KingSpeed]

The current score was our winning score in Game 2 of 2000 WCF

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Baze.....never ever ever ever ever shoot that shot again.

Did he think it was the up against the shot clock?

 

[Road Ratt]

Melo!

 

[VenomXL]

Good grief Melo. He’s beasting.

 

[riverman]

Melo is having a lot of fun...he's grinning all game

 

[Strenuus]

It is absolutely shameful what CP3, Harden, & D'Antoni did to Melo's reputation. Playing like shit and blaming it on Melo. There's no reason Melo shouldn't have been playing for the last year.

Ummm... Im thankful they did it.
