Game Thread GAME# 59: BLAZERS @ BULLS - FEBRUARY 27, 2016 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

I agree. I think this game would be far different if those 4 other guys for Chicago were playing tonight. I think that's the difference between a win and a loss tonight. We got off easy with this game.

I wasn't saying that we got off easy, its just that it made our bench excel a little further. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame and CJ are a combined 0/9 from three and we are about to win on the road against a playoff team with a career night by Pau Gasol.

 

[Strenuus]

Dame 30 in 6 out of the last 7 games.

Has that happened before? I assume it has, but I have to ask.

Well, one of his 8 career nights.

He does have a career high in assists, though, if thats what you meant.

Most consecutive 20+ games Dame's ever had in his career.

Mike Barrett sounds like he's going to have a massive orgasm when he gets excited like he does.

I disagree. Maybe, maybe not. It would have been a totally different game, so we may have played differently.

We got off easy with this game.

Yep.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Career night by Gasol though.

Yeah. One guy.

Now add Rose in this game with 30 points or more....

 

[Strenuus]

Most consecutive 20+ games Dame's ever had in his career.

I thought it was tied?

And I really want to know about the 30 point games in 6 out of 7 games. That's just impressive.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blazers have won 5 of their last 6 games vs current playoff teams and are 3-0 on the road in that stretch.

 

[Haakzilla]

M-V-P chants in Chicago just now?!

Kobe once had 9 straight 40+ games. And he didn't even win MVP. KG did.

Okay, I meant portland. Not the whole league. I know he had tied with 5 30 points... just wondering if it happened in 6 of 7.

And stop cursing in this thread, say K*be.

 

[riverman]

Great win! Go Blazers!

 

[KingSpeed]

We've won 16 of our last 20 games.

 

[julius]

We've won 16 of our last 20 games.

Even more so, they've won 31 out of their last 59 games.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Great team win. Ed does all the little things to help us win games.

 

[DUB]

Great way to start a road trip!

 

[julius]

Yeah. One guy.

Now add Rose in this game with 30 points or more....

I don't think it would've been Rose with 30. Maybe Butler. (did I miss an inside joke here?)

 

[Jade Falcon]

I was watching their after-game interview; Dame and Plums. Man, I love this team! Their chemistry is so great.

 

[Trackjack]

When the starter don't have it you hope the bench tonight the bench had it. Then I here people saying how lucky we are that they didn't have all there starter this what I got to say who cares a win is win it gets us that much closer to the playoffs.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I don't think it would've been Rose with 30. Maybe Butler. (did I miss an inside joke here?)

I think it was Rose that had like 38 on Dame last time they played in Chicago. I could be wrong though...

 

[Chris Craig]

I don't think it would've been Rose with 30. Maybe Butler. (did I miss an inside joke here?)

Yeah I was thinking bout that Butler and Plumlee encounter last time these two teams played

 

[KingSpeed]

Who cares if they were missing players? We want to make the playoffs, not prove that we can dominate the East 8th seed at full strength. Warriors didn't play healthy Cavs. I guess their championship doesn't count.

 

[julius]

Rose is a shell of himself now. He had 31

 

[42N8Bounce]

Great win for the Blazers. They gutted that one out. Our big guns CJ and Dame were 0-9 from 3 point range, and they still found a way to win.

Plumlee was huge, and the bench really stepped up - Crabbe, Leonard, Davis and Henderson played with great energy!

 

[Natebishop3]

Phys Ed with the block!

Lame. Stop encouraging MB.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lame. Stop encouraging MB.

It's fun watching you become the Dwight Jaynes of RC2.
