Game Thread GAME# 2: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 26, 2020 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[Sheldon Shape]

CJ, Simons, Collins and 2 firsts?

 

[JoshuaHall]

Why the fuck did they review that

 

[Ed O]

If Hood and Trent are out of the rotation for Melo I swear to god.

This +1000. Why anyone thinks Carmelo is helping the team by coming in and jacking up a bunch of shots in the second quarter every game is beyond me, but it's a terrible idea.

 

[Duckhook]

If Hood and Trent are out of the rotation for Melo I swear to god.

They’re on the bench still...

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Rockets with 30 FTs on 16 Blazer fouls, that's an amazing ratio.

Blazers with 15 FTs on 16 Rocket fouls in comparison.

We've been immune to easy points for years.

Unfortunately, it's nothing new.

 

[Darkwebs]

It’s not everyday you get rejected by an Ant!

 

[Titan]

Ant got a block

 

[illmatic99]

kanter sets some great screens

 

[Duckhook]

At least Hood is back in

 

[riverman]

This +1000. Why anyone thinks Carmelo is helping the team by coming in and jacking up a bunch of shots in the second quarter every game is beyond me, but it's a terrible idea.

He should be starting and playing Vonleh minutes as the 3-4th option instead of the Jamal Crawford bench role...

 

[beast blazer]

Why did the blazers sign kanter? They dont look to him much...

 

[illmatic99]

another shot and rebound missed due to this idiotic camera angle

 

[TBpup]

Rockets bricking tons of open shots now. Defense is still terrible, but at least they have stopped scoring.

 

[riverman]

kanter sets some great screens

I really like Kanter off the bench

 

[TBpup]

Nice pass from Ant.

 

[B-Roy]

Ant got a block

He’s showing a lot more activity on defense.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn for real blazers against the Houston Gleague team? It’s this hard?

 

[BonesJones]

Lol I appreciate your optimism but even if he figures it out in the regular season, do you want another post season with Stotts coaching?

I absolutely do not. With or without Harden.

I do not. But I'm optimistic that Stotts will either improve or be fired at some point in the next year, and I'd be fine with either. Therefore, I still root for wins.

 

[BigGameDamian]

another shot and rebound missed due to this idiotic camera angle

Are you blaming HCP?

 

[beast blazer]

Trent played in the 1st half

 

[DDolla]

When was the last time we blow out another team that Dame rested the whole 4th qtr?

 

[Hoopguru]

Id like to see Harry in this game doing some if what Wood is doing. Nurk and Kanter are to slow.

 

[Tince]

We've been immune to easy points for years.

Unfortunately, it's nothing new.

15 FTs on 16 fouls isn't that uncommon. 30 FTs on 16 fouls is out of this world.

 

[B-Roy]

gettin traded

No idea how you came to this conclusion

 

[James lamphear]

26 points score but only 3 came with assist. But we now out rebounding them through 3 quarters.

 

[calvin natt]

another shot and rebound missed due to this idiotic camera angle

You’re obsessed

 

[julius]

Why did the blazers sign kanter? They dont look to him much...

They traded for him. And as bad as he can look, he's still better for the team than Mario was.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is Trent out of the rotation?

Or is Anfernee being showcased?

 

[bobf]

Why did the blazers sign kanter? They dont look to him much...

To grab o boards and put backs

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I do not. But I'm optimistic that Stotts will either improve or be fired at some point in the next year, and I'd be fine with either. Therefore, I still root for wins.

He's had 9 seasons. Lol He's not improving. We know what he is by now.

I'd rather keep losing until we have new coaching and can be a threat in the playoffs with a lower seeding, ala Miami Heat.
