Blazers are cookin @riverman

 

[BonesJones]

Were moving the ball well and methodically.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The hang time on that from Dame was pretty great!

 

[BonesJones]

Their defense is so bad hahaha...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Very nice start! I was a little concerned on the first couple of possessions because that was bad Defense. But they quickly stepped up and fixed it.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

If Mo keeps making his open 3s I'll have to take back all the shit I talked about him

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Their defense is so bad hahaha...

Don't worry it was Melo's fault... oh wait.

 

[Darkwebs]

Houston's defense reminds me of the Blazers

 

[BonesJones]

Shouldn't have talked shit about a guy coming back from injury after barely playing over the past 6 months.

Maybe ours before Nurkic, but not since.

 

[BonesJones]

Don't worry it was Melo's fault... oh wait.

Melo made it even worse, somehow.

 

[JDC]

Alright Stotts can we run a real set now?

They started out switching everything and Stotts ran delay split action 3 times (very effective vs. switches)...

 

[ripcityboy]

Man I wiah we created more turnovers.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I really like when the offense runs through Nurk, now I just wish they'd do that with Zach, not 25 feet out but top of the key, I think Zach's skillset would be good at that for the bench.

 

[Strenuus]

[BonesJones]

Why cant we play this type of way all the time?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Shouldn't have talked shit about a guy coming back from injury after barely playing over the past 6 months.

Yes. I should have. I live in the moment

 

[riverman]

We are owning the boards 13 to 5

 

[JDC]

Doing a good job taking advantage of Houston's overplays.

We don't always see that.

 

[BonesJones]

NURK IS A BEAST

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Also like that Nurkic is looking like the Bosnian Beast instead of the Bosnian Ballerina

 

[The Professional Fan]

One of those saran wrapped rim games

 

[riverman]

Man this is fun!

 

[BonesJones]

Doing a good job taking advantage of Houston's overplays.

We don't always see that.

Yeah just playing smart and making the right passes.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Melo made it even worse, somehow.

Lol, I know I'm not saying Melo is good on defense, I just kind of think it's funny that people said the bad defense was on him, I think it's a team thing more than JUST melo. You're point is true though!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lol their defense

 

[BonesJones]

@DDolla We look good!

 

[Cippy91]

Houston isn’t good. At all. It’s crazy considering how great they were last year but at the same time I understand it because they went all in on Carmelo and we all know how that went. Cost them

 

[riverman]

crap

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Fuck
