Imo bones is a huge homer that’s my opinion

Do you really have a problem with a guy that pulls for the Blazers as much as Bones? Really?

 

[KingSpeed]

Interesting game. If it continues like this it seems like it could get chippy.
Layman is definitely bringing more than Harkless. Stotts literally pulled Harkless for laying down on defense.

Layman has been awful tonight, shooting wise.

 

[Chris Craig]

How so?

Tagging him. Calling him a homer. Classic baiting. No broken rule yet.

The night isn't over yet.

 

[Hoopguru]

We need more from Dame & CJ!

Yeah he has missed a few no question. They looked like open shots though. I didn't have a problem with him taking them.

 

[ripcityboy]

The Beast!

 

[Rozay]

I think we should have somebody other than Aminu guard towns

But theyve been good shots and it hasnt kept him from trying on defense or cutting to the rim. Sometimes the basketball just doesnt want to go in the hoop. Ill give @Boob-No-More some credit for this I think he definitely looks better in the 2nd unit than Curry did.

Really think about it if he shoots his average from deep the Blazers have a pretty comfortable lead right now. I actually think overall he played a good half.

Aminu should guard Gibson and Nurk should guard Towns

 

[Rozay]

It’s funny now that Aminu is guarding Towns it requires us to double team Towns thus making us play catch up on their ball rotations

The thing is he keeps them honest.They have to guard him. And yes he does move without the ball better. He also works harder on defense right now anyway.

[Jade Falcon]

Ball movement wins games.

 

[Chris Craig]

Good run! Blazers picking pockets

 

[riverman]

This is an important gut check game..so far so good...division rival..need to win tonight...GO BLAZERS!!!

My fault

 

[Rozay]

Aminu should guard Gibson and Nurk should guard Towns

That’s what I said

[riverman]

Nurk Beast is fun to watch

 

[Chris Craig]

That’s what I said

Then we agree

 

[ripcityboy]

Don't put in Turner.

 

[riverman]

Aminu should guard Gibson and Nurk should guard Towns

Wheels talked about this and said they don't want Townes pulling Nurk out to the 3 pt line so Nurk protects the paint

Plus Towns is a giant pansy who won't spend the entire game taking advantage of a size mismatch in the post anyway. He'd rather hang around and hoist low effort 3s.

 

[Chris Craig]

Gibson going for an oscar

 

[Rozay]

Smh this team sucks

 

[ripcityboy]

Just can't keep the lead.

 

[KingSpeed]

Mo’s 5th foul killed our momentum
