The Blazers are the only team in the NBA with two different players who have scored 50 or more points this season.

Didn't Andre Miller and Brandon Roy each score 50 in the same season back in the day?

I think so.

Andre's was unbelievable.

 

[tykendo]

I find it laughable these guys who love to scold Dame for what they feel is an off limits shot, but as I said after yesterdays game, he will make those as well so if it's in his arsenal, which it is, use it. He has range as good as ANYONE in the history of the sport. He's one of the few who can make what is basically a set shot from center court. He has beautiful rotation on the ball. Text book form on his shot. So if Dame takes that shot, i'm cool with it, because he CAN MAKE IT.

In 2010 they both scored 52 points. BRoy vs Phoenix, Miller vs. Dallas.

Edit: Oops. BRoy’s was in 2008.

hey..off topic but I heard an ad that Steely Dan is coming to Portland! sans Becker but still...

No, Brandon's 50 came when he was at the peak of his game, health wise. When Andre joined the team, Roy was hampered by failing knees.

Yes, they have been every couple of years.
I saw them at Edgefield and the gorge.

Roy was always hampered by failing knees...tai kwando martial artist since he was very young...lot of kicking before he was in the NBA

 

[KingSpeed]

Fun game. People were cheering on Buddy Hield to hit those 3s not so the Kings would win but because they wanted Dame back in the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

No way, I want 4th

I want 3rd. A series against SA in which WE have homecourt advantage.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think so.

Andre's was unbelievable.

Holy shit, Andre's is one of my favorites of all time.

 

[e_blazer]

Both were great.

''We did a super job on (Lillard) in the fourth quarter where we held him scoreless.'' - Kings coach Dave Joerger.


Haha

 

[Almir]

This will be a win. Not comfortable, but win. Dame will be on his highest level.

Go Blazers!

Had that feeling in this match....

 

[Lukee]

Sucks that @Lukee went to bed.

I knew it. Won't do that again.

 

[BrianFromWA]

We've had two forms of the plague here at the FromWA house, and after the traveling last week I crashed at 9:30 and missed it.
a) It's on NBA League Pass archive, so I'll watch it this morning
b) I'm not even mad, b/c it's not like I missed a career night or anything. He'll do this again.

So Donald Fagen. Did he settle with Becker’s estate so he would be free to use the Steely Dan moniker?

Gramps...

 

[stampedehero]

You're an evil evil man. Ed is a good dude and I will be very proud if he retires as a Blazer.

and to your delight>>> he pulls down 15 rebounds.

 

[stampedehero]

Hello Mo!!!

> Nice to see him put on the hardhat and play great. 15pts -on 6 of 9 and 2 of 3 in 3 pt. shots

 

[TBpup]

Can we PLEASE hire the SAC twitter guy or someone like him?

"Gold Jerry.....Gold!"

The McMenimans ? That's a pretty small venue isn't it ? How cool is that !!

No, feel free to

I’ll be honest, I don’t know if it’s showing up in the box score or not, but Mo has been fantastic on the defensive end. He is everywhere. Helping from the weakside just enough, going over screens making it tough for guys to get a shot off and has had a few nice blocks in the past week. Love him and always has.

Gramps...

No but he did settle with his ex wife over abuse....Fagen is the voice..just like Paul Simon post Garfunkle.....still sounded like Paul Simon's music....Becker will be replaced with a stunt guitarist but he only sang one or two Steely Dan songs....neither sounded like a Steely Dan Song

Interesting about Fagan's abuse settlement. Becker invented those solos but like any other band that lost someone or quit, they carry on. You will be lucky as Steely Dan is touring with the Doobies, last I heard. Usually, if Feat does not tour. the fabulous Bill Payne works the keyboards for the Brothers.

I'm guessing 3000 seats but idk for sure.
The gorge at George, WA is the coolest though.
Both times Walter was on the band.
