Game Thread GAME# 8: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 1, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Great start. But let's be honest, this is a Must win Game without Davis

It's really not though, I mean would it be a bit embarrassing? Yes, but it's November 1st, might be a bit early to start talking "must wins"...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Layman Terms looking like a legit player this year!

 

[trailblazer18]

Great find by Nurk...and that fast break from CJ to Aminu was great, much better than how we normally fail to execute a fast break.

 

[BonesJones]

Great start. But let's be honest, this is a Must win Game without Davis

How does the second thing contradict the first?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Layman Terms looking like a legit player this year!

Layman's been good in the minutes he's gotten all year, but it's tended to be like 5 minute's here and there.

 

[KingSpeed]

Am I wrong in believing that it seems most Blazer games on national TV are home games?

Well the first 1 and this one is. I don’t think Christmas Day one is and we only have 6 total.

As long as he's not playing outside of his limitations, then that's all that we can ask of him. I think he's stepped up well in Moe's place.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame had the right idea, but should've thrown a bounce pass, would've had another wide up shot for Layman.

 

[Titan]

We need to never fast break, we just turn it over every time

 

[trailblazer18]

Love Nurk dunking it so much more this year..finally!

 

[Cippy91]

Currently at a stage where I would rather watch Collins than nurk

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I disagree so much we need to fast break more, we've already gotten a dunk and a three off of transition...

sorry, I meant historically. Like, I can't think of the last Blazers game on TNT that wasn't in Portland. Of course my memory is shit now.

 

[TBpup]

Jake on fire....but Stotts' 3x5 card says it's time to sub. SMH...

 

[craigehlo]

This won't feel like revenge with AD out. But I do want to see Lillard own Holiday at the very least.

 

[julius]

I wish Stotts would incorporate severe fines for the dumb passes this team does.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Well CJ passed...

 

[Labinot41]

CJ os one of the worst passing guards in the League i swear

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dame is God

 

[Rozay]

Sit Cj down please

 

[TBpup]

TURBBLE pass by CJ. That is a no-no in junior high.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Oh Dame that was nasty. I miss you wheels.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Sauce on my chin

 

[TBpup]

Oh Dame that was nasty. I miss you wheels.

Miss Wheels as well but Travis has been much better than I expected. Have to give him props in how he has filled in.

 

[Labinot41]

Cj 8 minutes = 0 points

Stauskas 4 seconds = 2 points

 

[The Professional Fan]

I want Zach Collins to make the Pels remember they came to Portland

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dame probably got fouled on the drive.

 

[Titan]

Bout time they call a foul on Lillard

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Miss Wheels as well but Travis has been much better than I expected. Have to give him props in how he has filled in.

It was absolutely not meant at a shot at Travis. He's done well when I've listened. Just wheels is like Nostalgia great voice too.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame gonna have a big night. 40-50 points.
