Game Thread GAME# 54: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 10, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), KGW & ESPN

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's 13 games of 30+ points this season are sixth-most in the NBA (Curry, Harden, Cousins, George, Durant).

 

[Nikolokolus]

Lillard is a top 5 MVP candidate:

Curry, Kawhi, Green, Westbrook, Lillard

Durant, Lebron, etc., etc.

 

[Sinobas]

back to back butt kickings of the Rockets!

 

[KingSpeed]

I might win $1100 from UncleTy

Lillard is a top 5 MVP candidate:

Curry, Kawhi, Green, Westbrook, Lillard

Yet not an all star.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Why? Leonard played great tonight. There's room for both of them.

He really didn't

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

As DJ Khalid would say "they played themselves"

If he said that, he took it from many before him.

So... He played himself.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Mo and Aminu in there together allows us to at least be decent against great wings players. The Third quarter was a thing of beauty early on

 

[Sinobas]

When Vonleh is healthy, I hope Terry benches Leonard and lets Mo play.

Leonard brings more to the table than Vonleh though....at least he can shoot and draw technical fouls

In 4 years, Damian Lillard is now 15th on Portland's franchise scoring list:

14. Z. Randolph-6,202

15. D. Lillard-6,110

16. B. Roy-6,107

Harden can have all the stats he wants... I'll take the W! .500 at the break boys!!!

 

[riverman]

Ed Davis...1pt and 13 boards...that is just a Dennis Rodman line or a Ben Wallace line...gotta love it

Should pass Zach by March

Vonleh can play defense.

You don't understand the game at all. He was great. And we're going to the playoffs. And it's not an "unmitigated disaster."

That'll be an out-dated piece of trivia in 3-5 games.

 

[LuckyShot]

To the dance party!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We just hit the over on Vegas before the All Star Game. That's hot stuff.

Loved that effort, baby Camby!

If Leonard's shot falls that's the extent of his positive contribution, the second remains to be seen and the last is no different.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers have won three straight games and eight of the last nine to get to .500 for the first time since having a 4-4 record.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland is one of five NBA teams to win at least 12 of their last 15 games (Golden State, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Toronto).

 

[Pinwheel1]

He really didn't

14 and 8 rebounds in 23 minutes. Hit a big drive to the hoop when Houston was coming back. Other than the end of the 3rd he played pretty well.. But yeah I like Mo in there too

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Leonard 14 points 8 rebounds 1 block 0 turnovers 6/9 shooting. He played great.

He made mistakes but yeah he was good out there.

 

[SlyPokerDog]
