Game Thread GAME# 32: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 21, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

2nd half was just bad basketball on all units. What I like to see Zach get some run especially when Aminu is shooting like he did tonight. Reason so or later it will eventually happens. Due to I don't think Aminu will be traded at deadline or olshey won't resigned him next year.

Who knows....he re-signed Meyers for $40,000,000.

 

[Binx]

I’m so tired of this. We are the Detroit Lions of the NBA.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I’m so tired of this. We are the Detroit Lions of the NBA.

We've been the Western Conference Charlotte Hornets under Neil.

 

[Chris Craig]

I’m so tired of this. We are the Detroit Lions of the NBA.

We aren't the browns

 

[Five Second Violation]

It's a 3 quarter game for the Blazers. No need to waste time on the 4th. If they are ahead, they win. Trail, and they lose. It's half an hour of my life I can get about about ever other day.

I expect they'll have a 4th quarter choke before they have a 4th quarter comeback.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

If were comparing I think the Blazers are the Wizards of the west. Just a lot more likeable because of Dame.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Honestly just put both the rookies in the rotation and start Collins because this season is pointless otherwise.

Damn straight! If you are going to lose anyway, then do something constructive and develop the younger players.

I swear - I think Stotts and Olshey are both brain damaged. I want them both randomly drug tested - seriously.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So, uh...anything interesting happen tonight? Been too busy at theme parks to pay attention...

 

[Scalma]

CJ is 10 for his last 31. He has 3 assists.

 

[BlayZa]

tbh the skipping rope guys were more entertaining and they sucked.

 

[kjironman1]

I expect they'll have a 4th quarter choke before they have a 4th quarter comeback.

Thatta way to stay positive.

You missed nothing and made much better use of your time.

CJ is 10 for his last 31. He has 3 assists.

He has 3? I'm surprised it's that high.

 

[kjironman1]

You would think this team didn't just win 3 in a row.

 

[Labinot41]

I'm so glad I did not see the game.

CJ... please please please please please trade this guy, i'm so tired to see him

 

[Scalma]

You would think this team didn't just win 3 in a row.

Cool. Toronto minus 3 starters. Clippers without their best player. Cool.

 

[KingSpeed]

If were comparing I think the Blazers are the Wizards of the west. Just a lot more likeable because of Dame.

We are 6 games ahead of the Wizards and in a tougher conference. We don’t get to play Bulls, Hawks, Cavs 4 times each.

 

[kjironman1]

Not to mention 5 of the last 7.... Now 8

 

[BonesJones]

Cool. Toronto minus 3 starters. Clippers without their best player. Cool.

The Clippers had Tobias...

 

[kjironman1]

Cool. Toronto minus 3 starters. Clippers without their best player. Cool.

Like i said you would think they didn't win 5 of the last 8 games.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

We are 6 games ahead of the Wizards and in a tougher conference.

Sure this year, but both teams are led by two good guards. Make the playoffs most years.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cool. Toronto minus 3 starters. Clippers without their best player. Cool.

Toronto and Clippers both had their best players (Kawhi, Tobias)

 

[oldmangrouch]

CJ is 10 for his last 31. He has 3 assists.

Before our very eyes, he is unlearning how to play basketball.

 

[TBpup]

You would think this team didn't just win 3 in a row.

Perhaps that is what makes it even more frustrating. To win 3 in a row....and then lay a massive holiday turd at home when Mitchell shoots 1-10.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sure this year, but both teams are led by two good guards. Make the playoffs most years.

It’s a terrible comparison.

 

[DUB]

Odds on JIngles is about to do the same thing I’ m about to do, watch the 36ers replay.

The difference being, he’s looking to round out the good night, I’m looking to break even.

 

[KingSpeed]

Perhaps that is what makes it even more frustrating. To win 3 in a row....and then lay a massive holiday turd at home when Mitchell shoots 1-10.

Mitchell didn’t shoot 1-10 by accident. We defended him well. Unfortunately the other guys went off. I’d still rather be us than the Jazz.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn straight! If you are going to lose anyway, then do something constructive and develop the younger players.

But we are winning more than we lose. We are 6th in deep West.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It’s a terrible comparison.

Really they make the playoffs just about every year and most of the time get beat in the 1st round, and sometimes make it to the 2nd.
Have had problems getting consistent bench play, and wing play.
Its not a perfect comparison but their are similarities there.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Blazers were healthy, rested, and at home. They have no excuse.
