Game Thread GAME# 52: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 30, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

Ingalls should get a fine for that flop.

Yes does the league still do that?

 

[crandc]

What? Meyers never touched him

 

[BonesJones]

Terrible end to the half.

 

[Jade Falcon]

That was an UGLY end to that half. Holy shit.

 

[DDolla]

There’s a great chance that we will be leading after 3.

 

[TBpup]

Yes does the league still do that?

They say they will enforce it.....and then they don't.

 

[illmatic99]

Gobert gets away with so much pushing.

 

[LuckyShot]

Yes does the league still do that?

If they did, Harden would be in the poor house.

 

[illmatic99]

Put in someone off the end of our bench and just have them hammer the shit out of either Crowder, Ingles, or Gobert. I've seen enough of their bullshit. Time to send a message.

No need for all of that. Dame is triggered. He's gonna go supernova in the third.

 

[LuckyShot]

No need for all of that. Dame is triggered. He's gonna go supernova in the third.

Why not both?

 

[brooklynballer]

Anyone else nervous despite the 16 point lead? It’s the way Utah is scoring that is scaring me and knowing that the Blazers won’t be able to keep this hot shooting going all night. Fingers crossed

 

[H.C.]

What? Meyers never touched him

Nards most certainly got him in the jaw. Even showed on replay via Portland's broadcast.

 

[JDC]

Gobert gets away with so much pushing.

Yup. Ingles too.

Makes those pin downs between the two really tough to guard. Moe got to experience that early and often in this one.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame has 24-8-5

in the first half.

 

[LayneStaley]

It’s Dame Triple Double Day

 

[illmatic99]

Why not both?

Cuz we don't play dirty? All that fake tough bullshit looks so stupid

 

[illmatic99]

It’s Dame Triple Double Day

He said he was going for it!

 

[wizenheimer]

anybody know what Portland's record is for 1st half scoring?

 

[HailBlazers]

So who's out for Utah? Obviously we can't beat teams at full strength.

 

[JDC]

Dame has 24-8-5

in the first half.

He wasn't kidding about that triple double...

 

[oldmangrouch]

Sure. But honestly, who cares? I'm unhappy with watching a limited player develop on Dame's timeline when there were and are other players available. He's a different player than Meyers, but it's the Meyers' scenario all over again. It just gets old.

This is what happens when the GM and coach aren't on the same page. Don't draft prospects unless you are committed to proper development. I swear Stotts has just dumped Collins in the woods to be raised by woodchucks! The kid has talent - but what he desperately needs in mentoring!

 

[crandc]

Announcers trying very hard to think of good things to say about Utah

 

[Hoopguru]

Basketball has always been a game of runs and usually more than not when a team explodes to a mega lead, they lose momentum and get a bit sloppy. These days with the 3 a premium, its nothing for a team to get back in a game. I really enjoyed that half of round ball! Rip City

 

[Scalma]

Someone other than dame and CJ needs to get going otherwise we’re gonna lose this game. What I mean is get others involved.

Kinda why I liked Ingles and Crowder trying to start shit. Dame gets super focused when people talk. Should set us back on track

Jake n Meyers have played well

 

[LayneStaley]

All we gotta do is not lose the 3rd by 17 pts.

On a serious note we can’t lose this game, wouldn’t be good.

I don’t believe in jinxes.

 

[H.C.]

Utah is going to make a run and more than likely close the gap.
Doesn't mean this is a loss just because Portland doesn't win by 80.

I would've liked to see Stotts call a timeout sooner in the 2nd quarter when Portland had 3 straight turnovers.

 

[Jade Falcon]

What's the foul trouble for Nards and Collins?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Who did not get enough shots in the first half? Curry is about the only one I can think of.
