Game Thread GAME# 40: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 5, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

Is 4 assists a season high for CJ?

 

[VenomXL]

Fantastic win. Nurk is a monster this season.

 

[LuckyShot]

Now that the game is over and we won anyway, why exactly wasn't Hardon tossed at halftime?

 

[Darkwebs]

Is 4 assists a season high for CJ?

He had 5, just last game. Or was that sarcasm?

 

[DDolla]

Damn Nurk is on a roll... Beast Mode

 

[illmatic99]

I love Harden trying to go for a layup to keep his 40pt streak alive and failing.

He's playing too well to cheapen this shit but he doesn't learn. Bball Gods did not reward him.

 

[LuckyShot]

Eh a little of both. I actually wasn't sure and thought 4 was a bit high for him.

 

[Titan]

We held Harden under 40 points, seemed like that hasn’t happened in a while

 

[JDC]

Brooke better be getting some of that BioFreeze money.

It's ridiculous that they're having her say that.

 

[riverman]

I want more Jake Layman Seth Curry off the bench...our bench did pretty good tonight

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You knows what gonna be annoying is how ESPN is going to be all over how Harden had 38 points and 7 assists. Without talking about the 7 turn overs or the 35 attempts it took him to get there.

I want to say that i thought Turner maybe played his best game as a Blazer, elite defense tonight by him and Chief.

Layman really needs to be a fixture in the rotation.

Clown.

And here is our likely answer to why he wasn't thrown out. He was daring those refs to do it knowing they didn't have the balls.

 

[Jade Falcon]

"The Other Side" will be updated soon.

 

[Shaboid]

Can Nurk have an intro on Dame next track, "I just love Portland"?

 

[bobf]

Possibly. They are missing their starting PG and their top bench player.

I kind of ignored the bench comparison too. We looked pretty fragile with the backups.

 

[Chris Craig]

Crazy. How do you lose to the Thunder and beat the Rockets

 

[bobf]

More Jake please!!! Nice drop leave feed from the Beast!

Yeah, Jake is a pleasant surprise.

 

[Blazer4ever]

We're better than the Rockets, we're also better than the Thunder, we have more weapons, we're deeper. But right now, we're still underacheiving

 

[Chris Craig]

Now that the game is over and we won anyway, why exactly wasn't Hardon tossed at halftime?

What happened? I missed it. Was watching the football game

 

[jlprk]

Goooooood game!!!

The breaks went our way! Their errors went our way! Each time Nurkic chased Harden around, 15 feet from the basket, the outcome was good!

When Turner and Layman are too thin, I want to see Nurkic guard more midsize heavyweights. He stopped him!

 

[DDolla]

Need to win all the next 3 home games

 

[JDC]

Crazy. How do you lose to the Thunder and beat the Rockets

Because basketball

 

[Darkwebs]

Clown.

Of course they didn't have the ball. Harden threw it into the cheap seats.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Excellent Sports Ball Day!

 

[Chris Craig]

Excellent Sports Ball Day!

 

[James lamphear]

I don't care what so great about Harden 13-37fg 5-17 from the 3 that not great shooting. That 35 percent from the field and 22 percent from the 3. He is a volume scorer and that it.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Crazy. How do you lose to the Thunder and beat the Rockets

A healthy thunder team is probably better than the Rockets right now.

 

[CupWizier]

Nice win tonight. Great night for the Cowboys, Blazers and Man United.

Fuck the Cowgirls

 

[KingSpeed]

Yea great move Stotts you take Zach out and leave Leonard in what are thinking of Stotts. You left a guy in fucking up not rebounding and take someone out having decent game.

Leonard had twice as many rebounds as Collins and Collins was a team low -11.
