Game Thread GAME# 42: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - JANUARY 15, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 6:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[H.C.]

Fucking LOL.

 

[DDolla]

Just let Westbrook shot

 

[James lamphear]

Good Dame by breaking the defense down and dishing to wide open 3 to CJ and Melo.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

That's how you answer - Dame, CJ, Melo all hit shots one after the other.

Come playoff time, it's gonna be great to have Melo as our third scorer. Changes everything for us. I know, I know, we have to make the playoffs first but I believe we will.

Well, Dame made all three happen.....

The poll for this game should have been:

What is the most hateable combo:

James Harden & Chris Paul

or

James Harden & Russell Westbrook

The answer is, "Yes".

 

[oldmangrouch]

Westbrick putting up a triple-double without a TO? Does he just hate us?

 

[AldoTrapani]

You're right on schedule too.

lmao

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Westbrook with the clutch brick right on cue.

 

[Tince]

The ESPN announcers couldn't sound less entertained.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You may be right. We're a good team. We'll come back with a run here.

17-24? That’s a good team

 

[DDolla]

One Dame 3 and this is over

 

[BlazerBeav]

Poor Westbrick. But seriously, how did we get killed by the damn Knicks. I know we are real short on players, but clearly we aren't THAT bad.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Westbrick putting up a triple-double without a TO? Does he just hate us?

We decided that Westbrook would be the star tonight. It was our defensive scheme. And so far, it has worked. Harden is completely out of it.

 

[TBpup]

Where the H3LL has this been all season?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

btw- Baze's best game of the year despite that missed 3

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Where the H3LL has this been all season?

At Dallas? At Toronto?

 

[Tince]

Held Houston well under their seasonal average, solid gameplan on Harden, nice answer to Dame's double-teams. Got to tip your cap tonight!

 

[Darkwebs]

It's a great day to be a Blazers fan!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Westbrook still talking shit? Dame is laughing.

 

[Darkwebs]

BEST WIN OF THE SEASON!

 

[B-Roy]

As shit as this season has been, beating the Rockets at home is always satisfying. Doubly so when they now have Westbrook.

 

[e_blazer]

Great win. Best game of the season.

 

[BlazerBeav]

That's the biggest 'WTF' game of the season!

 

[DDolla]

Great Win guys, now let’s beat Dallas

 

[PCmor7]

What a performance.

That's how this team has to play to be successful: Controlling tempo.

Also, it shows this team is good enough to play with anyone. They just haven't played up to their ability for whatever reason.

But good gameplan tonight and well-executed.

 

[oldmangrouch]

No such thing as a bad win - but this is the first good win in a while.

 

[TBpup]

At Dallas? At Toronto?

Toronto was missing half their team...come on, you're better than that. Dallas was a good win for beating a 20 year old.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

btw- Baze's best game of the year despite that missed 3

I was just gonna say something about him. Really good defense without fouling much; kind of just tried to guard his guy. Got his hands on a lot of rebounds and holds on to them. Only turned the ball over once. If he had a coach who told him what he wants and held him accountable, I think he could be good.
