Game Thread Game #31 - BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - DECEMBER 19 - SUNDAY - 3:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[riverman]

I could get real used to this winning thing....

 

[MadeFromDust]

RoCo with an efficient 13 points, eight rebounds and four (!) blocks. We need that kind of production from him more consistently.

 

[DDolla]

Have you seen what Brooklyn is fielding currently?

Have you seen the Blazers play on the road this year? Even G league teams can beat them

He's been doing that ever since he's come off the bench.....it was a good move by Chauncey

Griffin Edwards mills Duke Junior and Thomas is the starting lineup

 

[SlyPokerDog]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa gave us a road win!

THANK YOU SANTA!

 

[Strenuus]

I CALLED IT. I SAID THIS WOULD BE OUR NEXT ROAD WIN.

For the first time on this site, I was right!

So what's memphis?

You literally made his point for him lol.

 

[illmatic99]

missed all but the last 3 min. need to rewatch.

what's with all the turnovers? 7 for nurk?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

12 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Our SF in training.

How about nance? Only two points but 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks.

Game is in Portland.

 

[OneSport3]

It sure helps your defense when you don’t have to play a SG that can’t guard a chair.

 

[illmatic99]

whether or not it made a difference schematically is still a question, but he certainly is playing harder.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Game is in Portland.

Of course the recent home record isn’t great.

 

[illmatic99]

chauncey not fouling while up 3, and memphis ball.

i was hoping he was not one of these coaches to do that. bane got a CLEEEEAAANN look.

 

[DDolla]

Why do twitter call Blazers a Poverty Team?

 

[Predator]

Chauncey, please, please, please.

If CJ comes back during a win streak, DO NOT START HIM!

 

[Scalma]

Oh no tweets by Quick today? Hack.

 

[TBpup]

How about nance? Only two points but 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks.

Very good....but not a SF, which is what the post was about. We have needed an athletic wing for ages. And Nas has so much more potential.

 

[Scalma]

I’m confident Nas can at least be an average shooter from outside. If anything he should get more deep looks, hard to get in a rhythm with 2-3 shots a night. I see him as a starting SF in the league, crazy that he’s considered a throw in by fans of other teams/media while those same people think trading a first for a reddish is a fair ask.

If we’re offering CJ and Nas (along with picks) for Simmons Morey is an idiot but also thank you.

 

[wizenheimer]

the turnovers were driving me nuts. to win on the road when you have 12 more turnovers than the home team is pretty rare I'd think. An 18 rebound advantage went a long way in making up for the turnovers

kind of hard to believe the Blazers got their 2nd road win of the season in the 29th game. I wonder if that is a franchise record?

what isn't hard to believe is that Olshey could spend 3 years in Portland while Dillon Brooks was playing in Eugene, and still concluded Swanigan was a better prospect than Brooks

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, I agree with the majority. I'd like to see Portland hold onto Little. Simons, not so much. But either way, CJ needs to go

That was scary.

[BigGameDamian]

A much needed road win!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Steven Adams played the whole 35 minutes without getting one foul

 

[Hoopguru]

Im just concerned that any solid deal for an all star/potential involving CJ would be required to add Little. Especially wot CJ contract. But I wouldnt add him unless you got the player you want, Sabonis, Simmons, Brown etc.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I wasn't trying to compare them; just saw it as a chance to mention another guy who contributed,

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Steven Adams played the whole 35 minutes without getting one foul

Zero Turnovers as well.

 

[PCmor7]

He really was trying to force highlight passes into tight windows. Thought he was John Stockton. He's not.
