Definitely feels good to get the 1st win out of the way.

Halftime
Us - 57
Them - 57

3PM/A(%)
Us - 6/17 (35.3)
Them - 10/19 (52.6)

Defend the three point line better, and we’ve got this game.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Fulltime
Us - 122
Them - 112

3PM/A(%)
Us - 11/30 (36.7%)
Them - 15/37 (40.5%)

Last time Whiteside had 3 assists was last February. His career high is 4.

 

[Pinwheel1]

On the other hand Hassan has had 4 triple doubles. (Blocks)
He does not get enough credit for his jump hook ...or rather his flat footed hook. When you are that long do you even need to jump?

 

[wizenheimer]

Hassan whiteside is the second funniest guy to listen to while high after Nurk he’s so funny it’s unbelievable man

have you forgotten Travis Outlaw?

Surprised they only credited him with 1 block. I counted at least 3.

 

[wizenheimer]

if the officials are going to take that long on every review I'd be fine with the coach's challenge being a 1-and-done experiment

It didnt help that within a couple plays they were reviewing Hood’s foul.

 

[joeBlazers]

How about Anfernee Simons?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

How about Anfernee Simons?

Definitely had an awesome 1st half!

My god the King's broadcast is SO quiet. You can barely hear the crowd. Doesn't look like they're even courtside to call the game. Was the Blazer's broadcast just as awkwardly quiet?

On the Blazers broadcast they actually had to apologize because of people near them cussing, lol.

Maybe that's why it was so quiet--they're so close to the fans that they have their mics turned down on the King's broadcast.

 

[BlazerRx]

I gotta say that simons showed some glimpses tonight as to what he might be in the near future. I think after all star break he is going to be the number 3 leading scorer behind dame and cj. The kid definitely is an offensive talent.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm ready. GO BLAZERS! Should be a win tonight.





Just curious, what planes do you and the team like to travel on the most? 757? 737? 767? Airbus? Or does it matter to you?

I'm a plane buff, which is why I ask.

757

 

[Labinot41]

Ben Simmons could hit multiple 3s against us right now, this trend is worrying. We wont win many games if teams shot so many 3s against us

 

[DUB]

Bizarrely this movie was on TV tonight.

 

[crandc]

I sleep so much better when the Blazers win.

"I think I'm going to blossom a lot here. They have so much movement, they have so many different plays and reads, I can probably get a triple-double with assists here. You know, I've been getting so many assists and dimes … I'm playing more like a point-center here." ~ Hassan Whiteside's prediction during Fall camp

Nice. As i remember he talked about this a bit.

 

[kjironman1]

You know it always struck me as strange @THE HCP always called this place a bunch of Nerds until i started paying more attention. This place is definitely full of NERDS.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Our Big 3:
FG%: 29/48 = 60.4%
+/-: +51/3 = +17/player

Very encouraging.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Zach Collins, Damian Lillard, and Kent Bazemore led the team in assists with 5 each.

Encouraging signs from Zach and Kent.

 

[trailblazer18]

I sleep so much better when the Blazers win.

This is so true!

 

[dviss1]

Speaking of refs where's @dviss1 ?

He's been quiet lately.

I don't have access to the forum at work anymore. Which fucking sucks. This time of year is really busy for me coaching and refereeing. Finishing up Fall season then we go right into Winter.

Somebody's gotta herd these cats!
