Game Thread GAME# 39: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - JANUARY 9, 2020 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

I hope Stotts let's this lineup play this whole Quarter.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice 3 by Nas! But too Little, too late.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Melo followed up his best game of the season with his worst game of the season.

 

[julius]

I liked that shot by Nasir. Even if he missed, it it looked good and wasn't one of those Chief Aminu/Tolliver shots that so ugly they're 3 baggers.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I hope Stotts let's this lineup play this whole Quarter.

I think he will.

 

[wizenheimer]

Glad to see Hoard getting some time.

He may have a future in the league.

well, Tolliver and Hezonja have combined for over 1000 games so yeah, Hoard may have a future

That is a depressing stat.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers are cursed this season.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

that's gotta be flagrant!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Stomped by the KAT-less Wolves.

FFS.

This is why I have always wanted a Rubio, Rondo,Dragic type of player.

Any of those guys can get more assists in a game than our whole team combined and they know how to run an offense or at least slow it down and work a mismatch when things get out of hand. We just don't have that guy on our roster.

Season??

 

[Sheldon Shape]

If tonight wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back I don't know what it would take. He needs to get fired TONIGHT. Losing to this crappy team without their number one player is an EMBARRASSMENT.

 

[James lamphear]

This group is winning this quarter.

Dame had 8 assists tonight in 29 minutes.

 

[julius]

We're obviously not believing hard enough guys.

 

[Darkwebs]

Season??

Especially this season. I blame it on those classic jerseys. The last time the Blazers saw such an injury-plagued season, they also used those jerseys.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

There's still time.

 

[Darkwebs]

There's still time.

For more injuries?

The 'scrubs' are doing much better than the starters did. I'm okay with a loss if we are giving the young guys some run to see what they can do. Nice flashes from Nas, Hoard, Ant, etc.

He's not getting fired this year no matter how badly you want it or how many times you say it.

We're playing against THEIR scrubs though. But yes, it's fun to watch the guys we don't get to see play enough.

I agree.

 

[julius]

Jordan Bell is on Minnesota? I remember people going apoplectic that the Blazers didn't draft/trade for him.

Hm, maybe he's not that good.

 

[rotary111]

Dame had 8 assists tonight in 29 minutes.

Dame is the best on our team at slowing things down and looking for a mismatch. The guys I mentioned are more pass first though. Any of them would make his job easier.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

make these free throws and we have a chance

 

[Darkwebs]

What a block by Nas!

He won a championship.
