[KingSpeed]

I love this team!

 

[Darkwebs]

Moe knows how to play within himself. That's a good trait to have.

 

[julius]

As long as Maurice Harkless can continue to improve his shooting, he will be an absolute steal at his contract.

 

[Scalma]

Turner is a game changer. That's who I'd rather give 70m to, not some one trick pony like biyombo.

 

[PDXFonz]

Blazers still seem to have a decent amount of room to improve the on court chemistry. Seems like it involves Mase a lot of the time. I can recall a few times this season where he's grabbed the high pass intended cross court to the wing, and right there it seems like there was some confusion on who Dame was passing that to.

Improving that on court chemistry is going to be very noticeable. I'd argue that is one of if not the most important thing for a team aside from talent.

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner almost halfway to quadruple double

 

[Darkwebs]

Mase is too tiny to guard Whiteside

 

[Haakzilla]

...Meyers' new hair-do, LOL

 

[Darkwebs]

Clever move by Dame to not use the screen.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great quarter. Held Heat to 20 points.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lots of people vanish from these threads when the Blazers play well.

Kind of a "brun" on top. Combo braid and bun.

The Blazer fans stick around.

My connection crapped out when Meyers had that block and Lillard went on the fast break. Looks like they did alright though!

Still here just can't stand the nonsense. "WOW IF ONLY WE HAD AMINU WE WOULD BE AMAZING" like uhhhhh you realize this is the heat and they have a lot of injuries. They aren't that good. I think if we played good against a good team I would be more thrilled. I am all for wins but this game isn't over yet and I am not really impressed by anything. Maybe the better defense but then again, this isn't golden state or the rockets. We get torched by good teams. Last season we competed against good teams, so for me to believe again, it's gonna take a competitive game against a good team

These wheelchair dudes are clearly traveling with the ball.

Who said that?

Us
CJ with 2 blocks!
ET 5 pts (16.7%), 6 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk

Them
Dragic 8 pts (44.4%), 5 reb, 7 ast

 

[Five Second Violation]

Good defense for the most part that half. Offense has been consistent throughout and the shots just finally started to fall towards the end of the half.

 

[jlprk]

2:48 left in the 1st quarter, score 27-15 Miami.
2:47 left in the 2nd quarter, score 47-39 Portland.
We outscored them by 20 in 12 minutes.

I'm loving Turner now. He's really getting comfortable with the team. Once Aminu comes back, we'll be a powerhouse in this league. When Aminu was playing, our only weakness WAS Turner. Now Turner is better.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I wonder if Ellington on Miami is related to Bruce Ellington, a WR for the 49ers? They're both from Carolina.

Got it. You're a fair weather fan. I back the team all season long. We're different.

 

[PDXFonz]

I do agree with King. I think this team will look much improved when Aminu is back. His 12 missed games could very well be a blessing in disguise. Plus it's clear that Turner is more comfortable out there.

That being said #NeverForget

 

[julius]

Just not the players...until they start playing better.

 

[KingSpeed]

Starters slow out of gate in both halves. Might need to go to bench sooner.

 

[julius]

This 3rd quarter started off a lot like the 1st quarter did.

This team still doesn't understand that you need to give effort all the time and that they're not good enough to coast.

Lol oh really? I have watched every game this season and stuck by through the blowouts, never turned the channel. Sorry I don't think that we will be a "powerhouse" when Aminu comes back. What team have we beat that's over 500.? get outta here with that
