Game Thread GAME# 47: PACERS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 26, 2020 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[PHXBlazer1]

24 second violations to begin and end the game. Nice

 

[James lamphear]

Every win is a nice win at this time of year. But we still can't run people off 3 point line. 129 points way to much. But we got 27 assist tonight Dame had great with 50/13/6. CJ and Whiteside had good offense night.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Lillard did it for Kobe!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Lillard did it for Kobe!

Who did he do it for the 2 games before this one?

 

[James lamphear]

I young bench got 19 tonight.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Dame's stretch the last 3 games has been ridiculous.

 

[illmatic99]

This Dame stretch actually reminds me of Kobe's torrid streak to drag his 12-13 sorry ass team to the playoffs after they had a bunch of injuries following high expectations.

He tore his achilles right before the playoffs that year.

Hope our cavalry can help ease Dame's load a bit better

 

[twobullz]

Nice to see Trent getting more and more run. Teams are having to respect him out at the 3pt Line and opens up the floor for the others.

 

[Eastoff]

I think that was the best game this season

 

[James lamphear]

Hes been struggling for months. He’s not good

I won't throw young players under the bus until there 3rd year. Yes is not playing well right now and that might he why he starting to get less minutes every game. Trent got 26 minutes tonight it good see that he taking the opportunity to run with it.

 

[DDolla]

It’s hard to say this but, Trent is better than Simons

Offensely yes defense no.

 

[Chris Craig]

Who did he do it for the 2 games before this one?

Himself

 

[Scalma]

Just give more minutes to little and bench Simons. Kid at the very least needs a break.

 

[Chris Craig]

It’s hard to say this but, Trent is better than Simons

At this point yes. In the future probably not. Simons is still too young and raw. The Blazers hoped to accelerate his development. Looks like it is going to take time.

 

[H.C.]

Simons hit the wall.
Expected.
We'll see how big of a Sophomore slump he has next year.
(I'm aware he's not a rookie and will be entering his 3rd year in the 20-21 season)

Houston played in Minnesota two days ago, didn't play yesterday, isn't playing today, and plays in Utah tomorrow night. He could have easily made it.

Unless there's an actual reason, this really rubs me the wrong way. They played the Nuggets, and even that is a poor reason not to show up. It'd be like if Lamar Hurd or Michael Holton didn't show up for a game. They aren't vital to the broadcast.

If there isn't a reason (illness, death etc) It's a slap in the face to each and every fan who cheered for him. EVEN with them playing the Rockets soon, why not come here early for the 90's night and soak in the adulation?

 

[DUB]

They played the Nuggets, and even that is a poor reason not to show up.

I missed that. I stand corrected. He's made it clear on numerous occasions that he's a Houston man. I never used to be able to decide who was my favourite Trail Blazer, Clyde or Sabas. It's an easy decision now.

 

[blazerkor]

That's a good win and a big win. Dame has been playing like an MVP. If he can keep it up and we can get better on D then we might just sneak into the playoffs. I know that's not what a lot in here want but it is what I want.

 

[julius]

I missed that. I stand corrected. He's made it clear on numerous occasions that he's a Houston man. I never used to be able to decide who was my favourite Trail Blazer, Clyde or Sabas. It's an easy decision now.

For me, it was when he wore a Rockets letterman for the top 50 players of all time. From that moment forward, I don't care about him.

Always liked TP over him anyways.

 

[Five Second Violation]

What Dame has been doing recently can't be understated. It's historic and awe inspiring. He is doing everything in his power to keep our season afloat.

Almost as good as Ja Morant

 

[kjironman1]

Almost as good as Ja Morant

Ha Ha Ha!
Nice!

TP is mine. Clyde got the press, but Porter and Kersey were the heart of that team.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame's averaged 53pts, 9ast, and 7reb over the last 3 games. 27-47 on three's. Has to be a historical performance

in 61-62, Wilt averaged 74 points and 26 rebounds over a 3 game stretch. That was the year he averaged 50 points and 26 rebounds

 

[oldmangrouch]

I'm glad Trent is doing well and that Stotts is recognizing and rewarding him.

I'm sad that that surprises me.

 

[DDolla]

Dame’s tribute: That 8 three pointers for 24 points is for Kobe
