It's time for CJ to get hot!

Let's go Blazers!!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

5:00 game on a Saturday night

So? No one watches games on Saturdays? I bet they would if we were playing (and beating) Warriors.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Impressive move by Portis

 

[KingSpeed]

I'll take Vonleh/Henderson over Batum all day everyday.

Doesn't seem so. Usually if we're winning, people show up as the game goes on.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our bench is restoring order.

 

[Denny Crane]

Now we extend the lead.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm here. I'm just quiet tonight because I'm watching the game and I have things on my mind.

 

[DUB]

Hendo's having a good game. Really making things happen when others aren't/can't.

 

[Strenuus]

Where is everybody? 50 pages for the Rockets game and then everyone quits?

I just got a sore throat and was sleeping it off.

But hey, Meyers is having a game! Just hit a 3. (this is not sarcasm... I fell asleep right as he hit a couple shots... he's had a game!)

Can anyone tell me why CJ is 1/11? Just one of those nights?

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers Leonard!

 

[LuckyShot]

When Meyers is open and just catches and pulls the trigger without hesitating at all, he must easily shoot 60%.

 

[Denny Crane]

Someone needs to guard E'twan Moore. Seriously.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hendo's having a good game. Really making things happen when others aren't/can't.

Yep. I'm loving Henderson. He is a big reason for our success this season.

 

[DUB]

CJ's having a mare.

Yep. But the bench has played well with him running the point so all is well.

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ is +7 and Lillard is -4 so CJ isn't playing that bad.

 

[Strenuus]

Yep. But the bench has played well with him running the point so all is well.

I do see the 5 assists.

Good on Meyers for picking it up!

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers is a +14

 

[KingSpeed]

Our bench is destroying the Bulls

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ is +7 and Lillard is -4 so CJ isn't playing that bad.

Well, we haven't let his bad play hurt us too much. Helps that when he was in Henderson, Crabbe, Davis, and Meyers were hitting shots and making plays.

 

[Denny Crane]

Let Crabbe shoot more.

 

[Strenuus]

Our bench is destroying the Bulls

Well, because some of their bench is starting. That does help. But yeah, it is pretty to see.

 

[DUB]

Yep. I'm loving Henderson. He is a big reason for our success this season.

Good call. We'll miss his assertive play off the bench if he leaves at the end of the season.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

CJ is +7 and Lillard is -4 so CJ isn't playing that bad.

+/- doesn't accurately show how well a player is doing.

 

[DUB]

Well, because some of their bench is starting. That does help. But yeah, it is pretty to see.

Our whole team outside of Dame and Hendo were bench players last season.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Big shot hendo

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Decent game from Meyers on his birthday in his home state.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has scored 20+ points in nine straight games, matching the longest streak of his career (Oct. 28-Nov. 11, 2015).

 

[Denny Crane]

Hendo saw he had a big/small mismatch under the basket so he took the 3. And made it.
