Game Thread GAME# 69: BLAZERS @ HEAT - MARCH 19, 2017 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Trackjack]

The good thing we right with them but we only got 5 assist that not good.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Nice pass ET

 

[Nate]

Looks like stotts is finally salvaging what little development time we have left this season for vonleh.

Last season was pretty much a complete waste. Same with the majority of this one.

 

[riverman]

Spoelstra is one of the top coaches in the league....good to see a local Portland guy make it on that level

 

[ripcityboy]

Hope Turner is careful with his digits. I broke my hand badly a few years ago falling against because.... I was umm, drunk and stupid. Came back to early and it's never been the same. But whenever I feel sorry for myself, I tell myself, "that's the price you pay for being drunk and stupid, Ripcityboy."

 

[Blazinaway]

Vonleh continuing the good play streak, really nice to see

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

if Noah can play this way all the way through the rest of season and possibly playoffs our draft day could potentially be even more exciting because of it.

 

[LuckyShot]

I've counted like 6 travels by Miami players catching the ball and running before dribbling.

 

[BonesJones]

Stupid goaltend by Nurkic. That wasn't even close to going in.

 

[LuckyShot]

We can't make a simple entry pass.....

If we fired Stotts, I'd hope Paul would at least offer Spo some ridiculous contract that would be next to impossible to decline.

[LuckyShot]

Even Whiteside didn't want any part of that!

 

[BonesJones]

There we go Vonleh!

 

[riverman]

Hello NOAH VONLEH!!!

 

[LuckyShot]

Timely 3 by Dame. It's starting to feel like we can seize some control of the game right now.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We look interested in winning this game - very encouraging!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm about ready to promote Vonleh from Noah to Jesus.

 

[ripcityboy]

Vonleh dunks.... Me: SPLOOSH!!!

Vonleh did start 56 games last yr and avgd 15 mpg, he's been given time but it seems to have taken him to now to start to "get it", can't put that on Stotts

wow that was a HELLUVA take to the rim by Noah!

 

[BonesJones]

Vonleh would be a great fit next to Whiteside. They need a PF for the future. So maybe this is a good showcase!

 

[illmatic99]

Ellington and Richardson are taking steps before dribbling EVERY DAMN TIME

 

[Trackjack]

Vonleh being aggressive and Nurk controlling the defense board an Dame doing his thing pretty darn good.

 

[illmatic99]

Thank you. Thought I was the only one who noticed this

 

[Scalma]

you know who else needs a PF for the future?

 

[TBpup]

Vonleh with complete disregard for defenders and humanity at large. DAMN! Dunking with authority.

 

[ripcityboy]

Why is that Dame book commercial oddly creepy to me... post 90s drug paranoia?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Vonleh's ability to cover guards has sold me. He has the quickness we need at PF

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Vonleh making the Blazers Power Forward (position) Great Again.

PFAGA!

 

[LuckyShot]

Damn, Dame!
