Game Thread GAME# 30: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - DECEMBER 17, 2018 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[Strenuus]

Is Dame playing

Should be. he's with the team and was only out because of personal reasons for practice.

 

[Jade Falcon]

No excuses tonight, Portland. They have 3 guys out, and we are healthy with 2 days of rest.

If we don't win this game, then we're not that good. It's just that simple.

Go Blazers!

One game doesnt determine how good we are, but it would be a frustrating loss.

With respect, after that losing streak, I beg to differ.

And no, I don't wish to argue over it. It's just an opinion.

A streak could determine how good or bad we are. We could be bad and play great or be great and play bad.

Im just arguing over semantics, dont mind me.

Blazers bench are like a box of chocolates.... let’s see if the bench can score at least 20 points against a good Clippers team.

View from the cheap seats. Platy and his FAMS representing PDX down in LA tonight.

Hope you guys are having an awesome vacation.

 

[hoopsjock]

Wow, I think that is the best pass of Aminu's entire life!

 

[hoopsjock]

Defense optional on both sides.

 

[DDolla]

What else is new... I’ve seen this movie before. A blazers quick start.

 

[Darkwebs]

Our offense looks like a symphony so far. Beautiful ball and playermovement

 

[James lamphear]

Nice job on offense everyone has score and everyone in involved.

If they were losing youd say what else is new a Blazer slow start.
What would you rather have?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Good start! I like the speed and ball movement!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not gonna get excited about the start until the bench plays their first shift

Im sure the clips will make their runs in this game, but Im glad to see the starters moving the ball around and playing good basketball.

Is this the same team that was in Houston and Memphis last week? WTF

 

[hoopsjock]

This isn't just because shots are falling. They are playing beautiful basketball on offense. There isn't a lot of dribbling, players are cutting to get easy buckets, and the ball is moving.

The NBA seems strange this year. Every night there seems to be a good team getting blown out. Lots of teams in both conferences clustered around the same records. Its just strange maybe its normal and it just seems out of whack to me but every team seems to be on a roller coaster ride, except the super bad ones and maybe Toronto?

 

[Strenuus]

Shooting 81% lol.

Terry has put some new sets in. This is pretty

Waiting for the adjustments to come and our inevitable reversion to isoball

 

[Strenuus]

LMFAO that drive.

 

[KingSpeed]

I’ve never seen such amazing offense.

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ has scored 11 points and only once has he gone into that one-on-one-dribble-dribble routine. This is how he should play all the time

 

[hoopsjock]

Terry has put some new sets in.

I can't remember the last time I saw CJ cut like that and multiple times too! It is completely catching the Clippers off guard. Then that cut by Dame drew all the attention and they left Nurk wide open. This is the kind of offense people have been begging for.

How does ET almost break the back board on a 10 foot jumper?
