Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - FEBRUARY 8, 2015 - SUNDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[MAS RipCity]

When we take good quality looks at the basket, we're a tough team to beat. Shot selection and turnovers will be key for us to manage down the stretch of the season.

I love tht Harden scored half their points and lost the game... very Kobe like or Carmelo like

 

[santeesioux]

Dame is a whiner and drinks like a fish, it's a wonder he is still in the league with both of those things going against him.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

CJ and Meyers are showing progress, which will be huge for our bench.

I was just thinking that but didn't post it

 

[BlazerBeav]

3 minutes from a dominant back to back performance in Texas.

Meyers can stay, I still believe CJ is prime trade bait right now.

Harden is such a weird player. I hate him more than kobe...

 

[crowTrobot]

Lillard now shooting 66% on 2 pointers last 5 games

There was a moment tonight, I felt he should have passed it instead of looking for this own but he made it. It doesn't bother me that he is being a bit selfish because I want him to finally get on track and be that player Allen and Olshey thought he was when drafting him. But I could see where some of his behaviors could hinder the chemistry of this team in the future. Or at least his with the rest of the team.

 

[MarAzul]

Well I could not watch the game and only get it on the radio intermittently. But it seemed like Meyers is really contributing.
What's the word?

CJ is a good guy so I'm not worried about that. I just honestly don't see his fit in Portland long term. I mean the best case scenario is he becomes our 6th man but do we have the time for that to develop when he could get us a sure fire 6th man now?

I think Olshey has shown he is patient. How he is keeping the owner under wraps who has an aggressive history in making moves to improve is beyond me and way over my head.

Being patient with a 23 year old combo guard who isn't a starter is something that is nearly impossible to do for me lol I can understand the big men getting 3-4 years of slack but man guards are tough to wait on.

Well, it was his er their pick. Don't you remember the high five they gave each other when they landed him draft day?

They believe. And they're going to get it out of him.

54 wins and getting to the second round could have something to do with it. There is something to build on here. Allen knows it just as much as we do.

I think it's an organization that is allowing it to bake and simmer. Who knows, next year if they can hold on to everyone which will be tricky could be a very big year.

 

[Scalma]

Nothing gives me more pleasure than when the Blazers beat the Rockets. I don't hate any player more than James Harden. At the same time, I hate how he gets away with his BS even more.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

23 FTA for Harden is absurd.

It works in the regular season but going into the lane and falling like you've been shot doesn't work in the playoffs.

More than absurd, something wrong with the game. The officials are permitting this phony to con them repeatedly.
I sincerely wish we had one or maybe two bench players that could come in, play this guy and send his arse out into the high priced seats when he begins the flop game.

Leonard fouled him 'hard' what happened after was oscar worthy.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Ou est Superbiatch?

 

[julius]

As much as I would rather they have beaten them both, if you asked me which team I'd rather win against on the road (Houston or Dallas) it'd be Houston.

It's good they got one. I've started to wonder just how good this Blazer team is. It's not like they're not trying. But they're losing.

He scored 9 consecutive points in the 4th quarter.

They don't call him Meyers Legend for nothing.

Simple - PA is focused on the Seahawks.

IMHO, this not a good thing. Last season was a big step forward for the team. The goal should have been to keep moving forward.....not "awe shucks, let's see what happens."

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I don't believe that. I think he and Olshey have a plan and have put it into motion. I think it's one very similar model to the one in SA.

If he didn't care, you wouldn't see him at all these ball games.

Blazers are Paul's baby. Allen has very little say over what the Seahawks do, Pete Carroll and John Schneider are in full control.

Sometimes I wish Paul had very little say in what goes on with the Blazers too!
