might take a while for CJ to shake this rust.

 

[Cugel]

cj is 2-13, trent 0-5, ouch. what's wrong with Simons?

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is 2/13

 

[Chris Craig]

what's wrong with Simons?

Hood

Stotts doesn't know how to run a rotation, that's what's wrong with Simons.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

CJ is 2/13

Hope he gets 20 shots up, he needs to find his game, and I’m ok with a few bad ones to get him on track

 

[James lamphear]

4 blocks by Jones so far.

Put defense looking better

 

[Cugel]

Man Ball can pass with the best of them. Good defense too. I would love to have him in a Blazers uniform. I know he can't shoot but he makes up for it.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Gary is just so far off.

 

[B-Roy]

Man Ball can pass with the best of them. Good defense too. I would love to have him in a Blazers uniform. I know he can't shoot but he makes up for it.

He’s 39% on threes this year

 

[BlazerBeav]

Couple of missed threes in a row that could have pushed the lead to 16 - need to win the last few minutes of this quarter and take a comfortable lead into the fourth.

 

[James lamphear]

Low scoring quarter on both side so far.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

4 blocks by Jones so far.

I'm also beginning to think Jones might be a better individual defender than Roco.

 

[LameR]

Couple minutes from the 4th and we have 4 total assists, including only 1 from our starting 5. Yikes.

 

[JDC]

He allows more blow bys than Melo.

He's been pretty good with the team stuff though.

I think it was the main reason he was getting time over Nas

 

[B-Roy]

Last two defensive possessions have been awful by Nas

 

[Cugel]

If Portland was shooting averages, this would be a blowout by now. Shitty offense by Portland.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are definitely letting them hang around by not executing. Our effort on defense has been better but we refuse to put teams away.

 

[Cugel]

so much for a productive 3rd quarter.

 

[DDolla]

Dame don’t know how the pass lol

 

[MickZagger]

Sloppiest game I’ve seen in awhile. Looks more like a rugby scrum

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well that was a mess of a quarter. Still lead by 7 but could've finished it.

 

[BonesJones]

We're just constantly running Dame into a trap since Stotts cant come up with anything else.

 

[James lamphear]

Dame very good getting this points but he also has 7 turnovers.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame has 7 turnovers and 0 assists. You don’t see that too often...

Yeah, this game is really sloppy.

 

[B-Roy]

We're just constantly running Dame into a trap since Stotts cant come up with anything else.

He needs to get rid of the ball sooner. Dame can’t consistently beat his man 1:1

 

[bobf]

Little is 0 for his last 18 3 point attempts

You’re 0 for 1 with this post.

 

[James lamphear]

Kanter got a double double.
