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

God. Tnt is showing raffle highlights. Some of those calls were terrible.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Randle is a good player - but not good enough to justify that performance. Our big guys are playing like crap tonight.

 

[DDolla]

If we play the Pelicans in the playoffs, we will get sweep again.

 

[Jade Falcon]

The Bosnian Beast getting bullied by Randle lol.

The Bosnian Beast has become the Bosnian Gnome.

 

[TBpup]

Thank goodness Mirotic is 2-13 or we would be in deep excrement.

 

[HailBlazers]

Layman's stat line, 8 points 100% shooting, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks and he got... 7 minutes. I just don't get it. They're starting him and having him play like end of the bench minutes.
I'm still worried about Nurkic and Aminu's defense, and Stotts defensive schemes too I know it's all nitpicky stuff but it bothers me.

Block on Holliday was $$$, that alone earns him more burn.

 

[KingSpeed]

Randle's on pace for 46...

And Dame was on pace for 16 when he scored 42. “On pace” is pretty meaningless.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good D by us.

 

[julius]

Anyone notice that CJ seems to be almost invisible?

 

[TBpup]

Right now the only person who could hold Randle down is Stotts...if Randle was on the Blazers. He would be smoking hot but Stotts would pull him out.

 

[Rozay]

Hater

Lol

 

[BonesJones]

As a fan it's my right to expect more from our 2nd highest payed Player than 4 points in One half bones

Not in isolation..

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

To be fair it's been Zach's worst game of the year so far, and he's been a big part of the Blazers success.

 

[EGame]

That might not be a bad thing, though. If he were visible it means seeing more of him going 1v3 and getting his shit blocked.

 

[Jade Falcon]

At least the TNT crew gave a good review of Portland at the Half.

And LMFAO at that Portland Tan Ken outfit!

 

[BonesJones]

And Dame was on pace for 16 when he scored 42. “On pace” is pretty meaningless.

The point just whooshed right over your head bud.

 

[DDolla]

Wake up Blazers!!! Finish this game in the 3rd quarter

 

[ripcityboy]

Bol Bol has got to be the nibblest giant Ive ever seen with the weirdest skill set.

That Okuro kid who plays center for Oregon is going to be a beast.

 

[KingSpeed]

Right now the only person who could hold Randle down is Stotts...if Randle was on the Blazers. He would be smoking hot but Stotts would pull him out.

There is something to be said for stability where everyone knows what their role is. That said, when Stauskas got hot vs Lakers, Stotts left him in there.

 

[Rozay]

Meanwhile, Layman's opening game explosion has been rewarded with the rest of the half having a seat on the bench.

What is up with that shit? Somebody needs to really ask stotts about that

 

[Labinot41]

Btw Portland Ken is in the building, god i love that guy

 

[BonesJones]

Yup. Either he does too much or doesnt do enough...

 

[TBpup]

The soft Portland media won't do that.

Damn....another non-box out and offensive tip in for the Pels to start the 2nd half.

I've got him pegged as a salesman of some kind. Tell me I'm right.

 

[julius]

The lack of extra effort on rebounding is really frustrating to watch from a fans perspective.

 

[The Professional Fan]

This sucks

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk has been really patient when finishing inside lately. Its working.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

1st play of the half Pelicans get an easy shot at the basket too..

 

[beast blazer]

Anyone notice that CJ seems to be almost invisible?

Invisible cj> 4-25 cj

 

[Rozay]

Man, New Orleans is a good team. They're missing arguably one of the top 5 player and they're outplaying Portland and playing much better as a team.

Really good team.. gotta give their gm credit
