- Blazers 2nd unit bad.

 

[DDolla]

Shit now Melo is hurt too? wth

 

[DUB]

Yeah. That guy was on America's Got Talent. He's really good. Seems like he's just throwing paint and then there it is, Jim Paxson.

He is talented, but personally I’d prefer something a little more up tempo for halftime entertainment.

First 28 games summary;
- Blazers 1st unit good.
- Blazers 2nd unit bad.

 

[DUB]

We have way more turnovers, but Orlando is not capitalising.

We’re making our three’s, Orlando is missing theirs.

 

[KingSpeed]

What's up with Dame and Orlando? Dame hit 10 threes vs Orlando last year and 6 so far tonight.

 

[hoopsjock]

I can't wait to see how close Orlando gets at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

 

[James lamphear]

After I said Dame struggling from the 3 he then he prove me wrong and then he got dail in from there.

 

[julius]

The Blazers should have re-created the old commercial on the airplane for this game. With the music and everything.

Not finding the original on youtube though.

 

[DUB]

Strong move by CJ. He’s a much better player when he takes it to the rim.

 

[craigehlo]

Just stop the bad passes into traffic. These turnover have been really predictable.

 

[JDC]

CJ's finishing at the rim has made a noticeable jump this year

 

[B-Roy]

With Melo hurt, watching the PF merry go round of awfulness...........

 

[julius]

Hot damn, found it!

 

[craigehlo]

Man, what happened to Ross' shot?

 

[B-Roy]

Tolliver has 0 skill. Skal has 0 brain. Mario has 0 brain or skill. Hope Melo isn't out long.

 

[James lamphear]

Between Mario and Tolliver Olshey sure miss on though signing.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Man, what happened to Ross' shot?

He looked somewhat promising for a couple years but now he's bad. But I guess he's not as bad as the other Terrence from Portland, Terrence Jones, who is now playing in the Philippines while entering his "prime" years.

 

[James lamphear]

Great offense quarter but the defense wasn't good though.

 

[KingSpeed]

I can't wait to see how close Orlando gets at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Well it's 18 right now. Maybe they cut it to 16 at the beginning of quarter.

 

[James lamphear]

Trent hitting 2 3 that quarter good to see.

 

[DDolla]

Trent if he improves his shooting could be the next Wes Matthews.

 

[DUB]

I hope we go on a quick run to start the 4th, so we can rest the starters.

 

[Terry Stotts]

3rd? So between LMA, Melo, Magloire, Abdur-Rahim, and Ilyasova, which ingress are behind Chief?

Okay, real quick between quarters. I thought it was obvious, but Dirk, LaMarcus, Aminu. HOF.

 

[DUB]

Trent if he improves his shooting could be the next Wes Matthews.

And D, and develop somewhat of a post game; but yes, I see the similarities.

 

[Titan]

3J!!!

 

[B-Roy]

Skal grab a defensive rebound. you're almost 7 feet tall

 

[JDC]

Hezonja is a good guy to throw out there when teams play a slashing/interior 4.

Does a good job bodying up at the rim and as post defender. Did well against Ben Simmons earlier in the year.

 

[bobf]

Why isn’t Little playing? Back?

 

[KingSpeed]

Our opponent tomorrow has lost 9 straight games by the way.
