jesus did he take off of two feet?

 

[Labinot41]

Holy airplane mode

 

[illmatic99]

Dame still needs to work on lob passes

its the timing. dame throws it too early. what i wouldn't give to have andre miller work with him on just on that one aspect of that game for a month

 

[julius]

Jogging on every defensive possession. Lmao. The arrogance of this team.

Team gets a double digit lead (let's say up to 20). One of two things happen.

1. The other team makes a run and the game gets ugly and the Blazers maintain a 3-9 point lead and then go into a funk leading to a 3-9 point lead.
2. The other team makes a run and the game gets really ugly and if the Blazers win, it's barely.

 

[Tince]

Happy to see DJJ take a shot within his range. Those ups are crazy!

 

[Labinot41]

It's unfortunate that Stotts' Sytem is unable to maximize Jones' strength. We would see a lot more of this dunks

 

[LayneStaley]

I get DJJ plays great D but he’s fairly limited offensively, I really don’t see someone offering him more this offseason at this point.

 

[Darkwebs]

RoCo is a sniper tonight

 

[Darkwebs]

The NBA should be renamed N3A

 

[BonesJones]

Uh oh, Levine is getting hot and the Blazers are letting him walk into wide open 3s! Drop scheme is giving him great looks!

 

[Tince]

Great to see Nurk finish with a strong move!

 

[TBpup]

Remember when Dame used to be able to dunk....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Simons should not be playing even a second.

He hasn’t earned any minutes.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Seems like we've had a lot of missed dunks this year

 

[Darkwebs]

Nurk with the great sequence there. Scores off the drive on one end, then gets the stop on the other end.

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk double double and Dame is 1 assist away.

 

[Labinot41]

Is Nurk......................................back?

 

[illmatic99]

the way DJ dunks on a real basket is how i used to dunk on those fisher price hoops

 

[Darkwebs]

Melo looking good tonight

 

[Darkwebs]

Melo can play D???

 

[B-Roy]

I despise Hurd, Kent and their attempts at jokes.

 

[Tince]

The refs almost always allow a rugby scrum during loose balls; surprised they called that on Melo.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I despise Hurd, Kent and their attempts at jokes.

Its getting to the point they are distracting me from the game with how bad they are.

 

[Natebishop3]

Does anyone else think Otto Porter looks like someone tried to clone Derrick Rose and it didn’t turn out like they wanted?

 

[Natebishop3]

Fucking Melo.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Does anyone else think Otto Porter looks like someone tried to clone Derrick Rose and it didn’t turn out like they wanted?

I was thinking earlier he looks like an out of shape older D. Rose

 

[Natebishop3]

Maybe I’m crazy but that injury Dame had against the Lakers sure seems like he lost a step.

 

[Scalma]

The Melo Kanter unit is vomit

 

[julius]

and just like that, it's a 4 point lead. That corner they need to turn has gotten farther away.

 

[illmatic99]

what kicks is dame wearing tonight? his footwork looks so off, like he's chopping his steps and not running freely
