Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - OCTOBER 30, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Shaboid]

I'm fine with calling every travel on every possession

 

[Jade Falcon]

Holy shit. I don't know how much more of this I can take....

 

[wizenheimer]

did the NBA hire Pac-12 officials for this game?

 

[hoopsjock]

What's funny is we've got 2 full days off so if we just win this game it's a 3-1 road trip and things can still be okay.

 

[LayneStaley]

That’s exactly what Mario needs to do with the ball, attack.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Man fucking both teams look like lottery teams

Don't take this the wrong way, but this is just early season NBA basketball it's ugly every freaking year. The refs aren't ready, the teams aren't ready, they literally use the first month or two of the season to play themselves back into a rhythm. It's the way it's been for as long as I can remember. Just don't take too much of what you see right now as this is what these teams will actually look like in jan/feb and beyond. All that's important right now is staying afloat in the w columns while figuring out this stuff.

 

[BonesJones]

The product on the floor is suffering.

 

[BigGameDamian]

This game's a barn burner!

 

[B-Roy]

Meanwhile in Washington.

Houston 111
Washington 120

11 min left in the 4th.

 

[Hoopguru]

Time for CJ to take over this game!
I like our bench is getting some PT and growing up.

 

[BonesJones]

Mario used my patented finish! I see you Rio!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Skal's having a solid game.

hes really good. Defense wise he can be better tho but pts and especially rebounding he can compete with Zach if not be better than him even right now

I can totally get that if we are playing Denver or something but man this is the freaking thunder

That's pretty much all he can do. But he can do it well if he has the opportunity.

 

[BonesJones]

For. Fucks. Sake.

 

[H.C.]

Meanwhile in Washington.

Houston 111
Washington 120

11 min left in the 4th.

looks like both teams are lotto bound. *eye roll*

 

[BigGameDamian]

Fuck was that shot.

 

[LuckyShot]

Step back 3s do not appear to be Bazemore's forte.

 

[BonesJones]

So fucking stupid. We cant even see wide open cutters and cant not foul on the other end.

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ is in the giving mood, just passing out those FTs to the Thunder like candy on Halloween

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man the thunder playing like they want it more

 

[BonesJones]

CJ comes in and immediately takes a shitty ass shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Got hurt on the boards because Stotts went small

 

[AldoTrapani]

CJ comes in and immediately takes a shitty ass shot.

i can’t stand him either

 

[blazerfan11]

why was Simons taken out of the game for CJ? How many years is this going to happen?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Smh

 

[BonesJones]

TERRY, TOLLIVER AT C DOESNT WORK....

 

[LayneStaley]

Hate this lineup

 

[AldoTrapani]

A lot of weird shit going on so far this year. Idk what it is but we don’t look well coached

Fantastic question!
