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

[LuckyShot]

No sound, but I'm guessing the refs are trying to figure out how to give Harden 3 FTs when someone off the ball got fouled.

 

[illmatic99]

This is the most bogus bullshit I've ever heard

 

[Shaboid]

hehehe on that 3 pt play

 

[BonesJones]

The Blazers are finally showing some competency in beating a trap!!! Have an outlet near halfcourt, extend the trap out, hit the outlet, then move the ball to beat the rotating defense.

 

[Chris Craig]

Has that ever happened before?

 

[B-Roy]

WHAT

 

[bobf]

WWNBA making up rules as they go.

 

[BlayZa]

making bullshit calls in the 4th vs the blazers is like every ref's favorite hobby

 

[Shaboid]

That is a clown ass foul.

 

[TBpup]

HORRIBLE interpretation by the refs. The shot from Harden was long gone before Tucker tumbled into him. The foul from Turner was committed on Tucker. Harden's shot was out of his hand by 20' before Tucker hit him.

 

[LuckyShot]

At least Harden took about 15 dribbles and wasted valuable seconds to take a shot he could have taken as soon as Aminu was on him.

Nurk 25/14....man is he special

 

[bobf]

Nurky Clutchy!

 

[TBpup]

Leading scorer.....Nurk
Leading rebounder....Nurk
Leading badass Beast....Nurk!

 

[riverman]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Big win!!!!

 

[Blazer4ever]

The player that's done the worst guarding Harden: Aminu. Everytime he's matched with him, Harden makes a 3

Aminu is not a great perimeter defender. I think he does better in the post.

 

[blazerkor]

Can't believe we won that with Dame shooting so poorly but he was droppin some dimes.

 

[Darkwebs]

The Blazers are good

 

[SlyPokerDog]

BLAZERS AND COWBOYS WIN!

 

[riverman]

Nurk 25/15 at the end...folks, Nurk is an allstar!

 

[LuckyShot]

Hardon wasting time and passing up a 3 to try to get a layup to boost his stats. What a clown.

 

[BigGameDamian]

They can't guard us!

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah we won the season series

 

[BonesJones]

Dope.

 

[Shaboid]

Nurk is my savior!

 

[Titan]

Blazers win, go RIP CITY!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Not the most artistic game - but Blazers win. Works for me.

 

[TBpup]

A win they had to have after dropping the OKC game.

Now 3 games at home against garbage East teams. Need all 3!

I admit, I had this one written off as an almost-definite loss after last night. But we did a great job of running them off the 3-point line and taking them out of their game.
