Game Thread GAME# 42: BULLS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 9, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[LuckyShot]

All the guys really look like they like Simons. When he's in they want to get him the ball and they are always pulling him aside and coaching him during dead balls. They know he's got a lot of potential and he must be a good guy.

Nurk can't even get a double double against a crap team.

 

[DDolla]

I saw Dame grab his left elbow, hope nothing serious.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Now let's see how we do against someone who's not a 10 win team.

Good win. I hope Dame's elbow is good.

Go Blazers.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless doesn't look like he's sweating his knee.

Him and CJ trying to calm Zach down on the bench was pretty damn funny though.

 

[LuckyShot]

He's really killing his trade value.

Rolo can't ON a crap team...4pts..2 rebounds

 

[Jade Falcon]

Rolo can't ON a crap team...4pts..2 rebounds

Is he old, or has he just given up?

 

[LuckyShot]

Meyers has been holding his elbow also.

I think his arm got tangled up with someone and it got bent awkwardly.

 

[James lamphear]

Nice win! Bench 56pts team 28 assist. Zach led the bench 16/9 so really good game for him. The rookies both score. Both rookies is not bashful on offense.

 

[riverman]

His twin is lighting it up for the Bucks

I'm loving the increased player and ball movement lately. It's like Terry was reading this forum.

Chicago is just a mess.

 

[riverman]

Chicago is just a mess.

Team culture matters whether folks think so or not...Rolo has gotten worse away from Portland ..so has Crabbe...Plumlee had his best year here...Ed Davis numbers were better here...it's a theme.

Just imagine if they had gone to Orlando.

 

[hoopsjock]

At least it's Dame's left elbow, not his shooting one.

 

[Darkwebs]

[riverman]

Dame is playing more physical on both ends of the court..diving for loose balls..going for steals and blocks...he might want to get the body wrap going on like Iverson had most of his career...look like the Mummy but hey

 

[wizenheimer]

is it just me or did it look like the Bulls were playing like a lottery team (duh) in the 82nd game of the year? Vacation!! Yay!

some of them showed a little enthusiasm when they had the ball, but that was about it. And on defense....yeeeesh. I didn't know for sure but watching Portis I guessed he was in a contract year, and sure enough, he is. He was the only Bull he seemed dialed in

Their coach sure wasn't acting that way. That's the most animated coach I've ever seen.

Levine is going to shoot everytime he touches the ball..dude is pure ISO...no defensive effort at all..

 

[KingSpeed]

That... doesn't sound very impressive.

It is. 14 teams legitimately vying for playoffs. 9 of them are behind us.

 

[KingSpeed]

Just back from ballet class. Almost made it through without hitting the deck, until final turn, down I went. I t will ease my pain if Blazers make Bulls hurt more.

I love ballet and it’s so hard.

[riverman]

I actually am enjoying the battles in the west night in and night out across the conference...it's like playoff ball often during the regular season..tough to dominate which is a good thing for the fans

 

[DDolla]

CJ that wa some funny stuff trying to calm down Zach

 

[hoopsjock]

Lmao

 

[riverman]

Zach has such a Bill Laimbeer expression....he looks like the Hulk just before he explodes out of his shirt

 

[BonesJones]

 

[illmatic99]

LMAO
