Game Thread GAME# 27: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - DECEMBER 11, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

There goes the 15pt lead. We always do this shit.

 

[Jade Falcon]

TIMEOUT!

 

[BonesJones]

Zach is killing us.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Way to go bench

 

[Strenuus]

Whelp..

 

[BlazerBeav]

No team blows leads as efficiently as we do.

 

[VenomXL]

The bench is SO bad right now. That was brutal.

Apparently Stotts thinks they're playing WELL.

Lmao.

 

[riverman]

I'd rather have Jake or Nik taking those 3s at the end of the quarter

 

[DDolla]

Why can't our bench hold a lead?

It’s the Blazers, they can’t hold on the lead.

 

[Jade Falcon]

You shouldn't. If he gets 10+ lb's of muscle on him, he'll be fine.

Yeah, and when is THAT gonna be? LaMarcus put on 41 lbs of muscle in one season. What's keeping Zach from 10 lbs?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Zach is killing us.

I think it's ET still. Look at how OPEN they leave him, 0 respect. Even standing wide open he passes the ball to Zach or whomever who always has a defender and a half on him. Once in a while he drives but man ET kills the flow and spacing for the bench guys.

 

[JDC]

I think that might have been the worst Zach has ever looked.

Thinking way too much instead of playing off instincts.

You think LaMarcus put on 41 pounds of muscle in one summer?....

 

[The Professional Fan]

So I haven't been able to sit and watch a full Blazers game and participate in a game thread in quite some time.

Wondering. Does everyone hate Collins now? I've seen his box scores. I've been bullish on him from the beginning but I'm guessing some of that is waning from others? Maybe?

@Boob-No-More what say you. I'm most interested in your position here.

Son of a bitch. Meyers got to him

Playing like Meyers.

 

[James lamphear]

They have to come in mentality ready to play. Haven't seen lately.

I ask now because I'm finally able to watch him with my own eyes, not rely on box score, and I'm discouraged.

He put on some muscle over the summer, and he's still young (I hate that to excuse away all his problems but it's also TRUE), he'll add muscle the next few summers no doubt.

 

[BonesJones]

He got ARM.

 

[Strenuus]

How was that not a foul?

 

[ripcityboy]

For a guy who's 6'9" Layman could use some hair on his "goolies."

 

[BonesJones]

CLOSEOUT.... Quit running past pump fakes.

 

[riverman]

Nene is a tough cover for Collins

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame is one tough dude!

 

[Cippy91]

Moe harkless is one of those players that could be better than they actually are. He has all the talent. He could be unstoppable at the rim. Always bothered me. We see flashes at times but it’s like he isn’t 100 percent committed to finding out just how good he is.

 

[Strenuus]

It's back to the Dame/CJ/Nurk show.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So this short stint with Zach at Center hasn't looked very good, but I still think Zach will be fine. I think he's just gotta get stronger. Also he's gotta figure out how to get ET off the court lol...

 

[BonesJones]

You gotta love having a "PG" that's such a bad shooter that he'll try threading a pass between 3 players instead of shooting a wide open 3.
