Game Thread GAME# 34: SUNS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 30, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

I like that timeout.

 

[H.C.]

Why does it always feel like we play teams who are at full strength.
Be nice to play a team who is using 'load management' with their best players one of these games.

 

[BonesJones]

I feel like the Blazers have a collective shooting rhythm because of the faster pace they've played with. I feel like that pace has led to freely and unconsciously shot 3s... Anyone else feel this way?

 

[Scalma]

Of course Tolliver is playing center lolol

 

[bobf]

Don’t lose this lead!

 

[bobf]

Need better D

 

[bobf]

I’m Antsy!

 

[DUB]

Strong finish CJ!

CJ’s a better player when he attacks the rim.

 

[Darkwebs]

So now Simons has the torch. This game, it's been passed from Dame to Trent and now to Ant

 

[TBpup]

Cmon Ant stay in front of your guy.

Someone opened a door up in the 300 section and the wind blew him off his defensive stance.

 

[KingSpeed]

Come on Melo you have to score or get fouled there

 

[Labinot41]

Tolliver so useless lmao

 

[Scalma]

So Stotts would rather run whiteside into the ground than give Moses a chance lol they’re literally wasting his days.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah he finaly hit some 3s. But you have to admit before his only good skill was 3point shooting, and he missed a lot of 3s pretty badly

I think he's hit like 6 of his last 12. Plus his D has been good.

Game not over yet.

 

[Labinot41]

The 2nd unit is CJ, and the rest is watching...

 

[BonesJones]

Josh Okogie...

 

[TBpup]

So far,
Dame +19
CJ -1

How is that even possible?

 

[KingSpeed]

Carmelo hurting us

 

[Darkwebs]

 

[bobf]

Trent!

 

[KingSpeed]

Another assist for Melo at least

 

[bobf]

Bumping Dame seems like the routine thing to do

 

[KingSpeed]

Minnesota beat Brooklyn without Wiggins or Towns.

 

[Scalma]

Trent should start over Bazemore he’s a better fit because of his shooting.

 

[KingSpeed]

Trent should start over Bazemore he’s a better fit because of his shooting.

Bazemore can shoot too.

 

[BonesJones]

Honest question: If Gary Trent Jr. is shooting like this, is he really that much worse than Rodney Hood...?

 

[Strenuus]

Minnesota beat Brooklyn without Wiggins or Towns.

I'm not surprised.

 

[H.C.]

Honest question: If Gary Trent Jr. is shooting like this, is he really that much worse than Rodney Hood...?

While he's shooting well tonight.
Not sure he's as good at creating his own shot or taking advantage of a height mismatch due to a switch like Hood was.

 

[bobf]

We just need sound D to win rhis
