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

[LayneStaley]

Stotts and Melo need to GTFO

 

[TBpup]

Oh good, CJ comes in to go Iso on offense, and then get abused on the other end. Yay...

 

[beast blazer]

We gotta cut melo.

 

[julius]

here comes the onslaught from houston. and terry sits doin' nothing.

 

[BonesJones]

Kanter - Benched by Boston last year
Hood - DNPs by Cleveland before coming to Portland, now coming off a major injury
Melo - Unsigned by 29 teams in the league.
Ant - Worst rated gaurd in the league last year.
Trent - Stud

Which one of those things is not true?

And here are the dumbass excuses.

They're playing Jae'Sean Tate and Brodrick Thomas (A DII player last year). But yeah, it's a roster issue.

 

[Cugel]

Can they just release melo?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Jones Jr takes some punishment out there

 

[Tince]

And here are the dumbass excuses.

Please tell me which one was a false statement.

You bash Melo, but if I say something implying he's not all-world, I'm making an excuse.

 

[Duckhook]

Harden might take Portland OFF his list of prefered teams if we keep playing like this

 

[julius]

and Harden wants to play on this team!?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Harden just toying with us

 

[Natebishop3]

If we lose by 20 again do they fire Terry?

 

[Titan]

I think any G-league team can beat us

 

[Darkwebs]

I think Harden throws more successful lob passes in one game than the Blazers do in a season.

 

[beast blazer]

Melo would be ok if he'd be a spot up shooter and not shoot every time he touches the ball.

 

[AldoTrapani]

@Natebishop3 what’s up with this weak ass team?

 

[BonesJones]

Please tell me which one was a false statement.

You're cherry-picking small bits of context to try to excuse the head coach when we're going against a lineup of Bruno Caboclo, Jae'Sean Tate, and Brodric Thomas.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Omg this is an absolute joke

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why the fuck would Dame shoot that shit? I swear to god that guy man

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'm worried that we are looking so bad that Harden will change his mind and decide we are not one of the teams he wants to go to.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nightmare start to the season.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Kanter - Benched by Boston last year
Hood - DNPs by Cleveland before coming to Portland, now coming off a major injury
Melo - Unsigned by 29 teams in the league.
Ant - Worst rated gaurd in the league last year.
Trent - Stud

Which one of those things is not true?

Great. Now do the same thing for the Rockets bench. Oh, that's right. You can't.

Kanter was a huge reason for our post-season success in making the western conference finals.

Hood was the top 3 point shooter in the league and having his best start to the season before he got injured.

Without Melo, we don't get to the post season last year.

Let's just have you keep selling us on "the coach not making a difference." It's a lie.

There's no reason why we're losing to this roster that the Rockets have. It's slowly turning into a blowout.

Try being honest. It would be cute on you.

 

[julius]

If we lose by 20 again do they fire Terry?

Nope. They're too stubborn.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Hope Neil is watching this clinic and picking up the phone

 

[TBpup]

Dame realizing it's time to go nuclear or they could be down by 20+.

 

[BonesJones]

I think any G-league team can beat us

I think Gonzaga could beat us. Now THATS a well-coached team.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hell yea another blow out lmao

trust me guys we need this so stotts is outta here

 

[Titan]

The excuses the commentators are telling us from the team is that they need more time playing with each other, what the fuck, Houston threw in bunch of undrafted guys last minute and are wrecking us. This problem is all coaching.

 

[calvin natt]

I think any G-league team can beat us

None would but I get your point
