[Darkwebs]

CJ bringing back the spectacular this quarter

 

[HailBlazers]

BYE BOGUT

 

[BlazerBeav]

Holy shit!

 

[BrianFromWA]

the fact that we're probably not going to break 100 against the L*kers is...disturbing.

 

[ripcityboy]

Bogut, you can't really feel put out???

 

[Darkwebs]

The Hark Knight Returns!

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I like Shabazz but pulling up from 20 feet with a big on you isn't ideal up 3 with 3 minutes left, especially with Caldwell-Pope guarding our big.

 

[julius]

I'd actually rather they keep Collins in, even if it meant losing the game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Lets go Blazers...finish this shit

 

[HailBlazers]

the fact that we're probably not going to break 100 against the L*kers is...disturbing.

Almost as disturbing as Nurk not justifying playing time

 

[A$AP Meyers]

the good ole late shot clock iso brick

can we run some freaking offense?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Z-Co and Mo are the only Blazers over 50% tonight.

 

[ripcityboy]

Unfortunate turnover? Ummm..... Kevin who you working for?

 

[Strenuus]

Unfortunate turnover by the lakers? wtf you talkin about, Calabro?

 

[H.C.]

Sigh. Collins wide open on the lob and doesn't get the ball.

Someone teach these god damn guards how to throw a pass to a big.
Only one who does is Lillard. fuck dude.

 

[AFully22]

Not if you're getting destroyed by bigger bigs. He couldn't stay out of foul trouble against the Nuggets who only have 1 talented big. Rest of them are just bigger than Collins and he fouled a lot.
Now he's playing against the Lakers, basically a bunch of college kids and he looks to be able to play against them when strength doesn't play a factor.

This is really common basketball stuff.

I disagree. You can put him at PF and play him at C in certain lineups if you want but getting as much minutes on the court as possible is never a bad idea if you want to speed up development. Just because he would get owned against bigger 5’s doesn’t mean it would hurt his development or he wouldn’t pick up on the nuances of the game and learn what it will take to become a great player.

I was sort of joking anyways, I’m mostly just done with Nurk.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Still zero offense being run. Napier bails Stotts out with the worst shot in basketball (long two)

As i type this Lonzo hits a 3 lets see what terry does here, probably nothing at all

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Terry Stotts is an embarrassment.

 

[julius]

Portland is doing their best to keep the tank alive!

 

[ripcityboy]

Unfortunate turnover by the lakers? wtf you talkin about, Calabro?

Having non-homers as announcers was really stupid.

 

[BrianFromWA]

It worked, but I'm with you A$AP, I don't love Shabazz shooting a LMA deuce over a big man

 

[EGame]

this team just isnt very good this year.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

the guys who are in there are fighting; I'm good with that.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Loving the crunch time offense from Terry; Shabazz or CJ taking turns pounding the ball into the ground before forcing a shot late in the shot clock.

 

[Strenuus]

Cj that was fucking stupid.

 

[BrianFromWA]

#winningtime

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard looks like he's ready for a night at the disco.

 

[julius]

Ive given it almost 2 hours to think about it...but that look by Damian is just silly.

 

[H.C.]

I disagree. You can put him at PF and play him at C in certain lineups if you want but getting as much minutes on the court as possible is never a bad idea if you want to speed up development.

He also got owned by a smaller 5 in Plumlee

 

[Strenuus]

Wait... wtf is Dame wearing? Was that his actual chest or versace? lol.
