Game Thread GAME# 41: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - JANUARY 10, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Ed shouldn't foul there. Momentum killer.

 

[kingslayer]

Can't seem to break the 5 point barrier, and this and 1 (surprise!) looks like it could be a momentum killer.

 

[BonesJones]

CJ's shot was so bad. Missed a wide open Collins on a backscreen, then went 1 on 3 with a weird twisting contested layup that missed. SMH.

Why does Paul get the FT?

 

[kingslayer]

5 point possession. jesus

 

[Strenuus]

Why does Paul get the FT?

Black went out - so I assume Houston gets to pick the FT shooter, perhaps?

 

[illmatic99]

Awfully close to a goaltend

If he can't shoot, then doesn't Portland get to choose the shooter?

 

[Strenuus]

Knowing stotts, if that were true, he wouldn't be smart.

 

[kingslayer]

Fucking hate CP3

 

[Strenuus]

CJ DID IT TWICE. Jesus CJ, be smart.

 

[illmatic99]

Garbage shot

 

[BonesJones]

Good job CJ

Shot clock. Much better management this time

 

[Cippy91]

I would like to slap chris pauls stupid 8th grade mustache off his face

 

[BonesJones]

When there's 1 second on the game or shot clock, GET IN THEM. Close the gap. They don't have time to do anything. Stotts should be yelling at Davis to get up with 1 second left there. Fuck man.

 

[Strenuus]

Still needs to be traded, that would be good management.

I thought Blazers got ball with 20 seconds left; someone started yelling 5,4,3.... and CJ goes in and shoots and then Houston gets the ball and there are 7 plus seconds left. Did I miss something or get something wrong?

 

[Shaboid]

Better have a big 4th qtr!

The shot clock was on.

 

[BonesJones]

There we go Pat.

 

[BonesJones]

CP3 killing us like always.

 

[BonesJones]

agh finish that Bazz

 

[Shaboid]

Shabazz and Zach work well together. Sorta like Dame and Nukric.

 

[BonesJones]

We gotta clamp down on Paul.

 

[BonesJones]

Switching Davis onto Paul is a losing strategy.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Shit shot Napier

 

[BonesJones]

It'd be nice to have Gerald Green on our fucking team...

 

[illmatic99]

Collins and ET i think make our best closeouts on shooters

 

[BonesJones]

Way to be patient Zach.

Nurk needs to learn from Zach, which is weird to say. Zach is very good at knowing when to go up with the ball. He knows when to be patient inside and he knows when he should shoot a quick shot. However, we he does shoot quickly, he's still shooting a controlled shot, which definitely couldn't be said for Nurk.
