Game Thread GAME# 8: SUNS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 8, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Cippy91]

26 free throws to 13 and dame gets no calls, that's fucking crazy

 

[HailBlazers]

Call it both ways Stripes.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Ridiculous

 

[B-Roy]

Bledsoe literally got the same call.

 

[Tunchi]

Meh it shouldn't even have to come to this

This team we have is not that impressive whatsoever

 

[LuckyShot]

Suns play defense like the Seahawks. Just hold every play and they can't call it.

 

[LuckyShot]

Might as well foul intentionally.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame, CJ, and Harkless. Our big 3. lol.

 

[HailBlazers]

Harkless Man.

 

[B-Roy]

Harkless is the third guy on this team. Bar none.

 

[LuckyShot]

Phuck Phoenix.

 

[Tunchi]

Smh weak sauce

 

[Natebishop3]

Fucking team wouldn't die.

 

[B-Roy]

Allowed 121 points. Fucking yikes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's 262 points (38 tonight) are the most by an NBA player in his team's first 8 games since Kobe Bryant scored 264 in 2009-10.

 

[HailBlazers]

Harkless is the third guy on this team. Bar none.

[BlazerCaravan]

The WONDER TWINS!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Does Tunchi still hate Harkless for no reason still?

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame is relentless.

 

[Scalma]

Harkless is the X factor of the team. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but he's still young.

Now let's go get Noel.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for 71 points. It's the 4th time both players scored 30+ points in the same game (1st this year).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard scored 22 points in the fourth quarter alone, four shy of his own franchise record for points in any quarter (26).

 

[Sinobas]

So glad that game did not go into OT. I knew it would not be a comfortable win when the Blazers started off hot. It's always better when they surge in the 2nd half.

Once again, the refs call BS fouls on the Blazers, then swallow their whistles when obvious stuff is commited against us. That total bs call on Harkless on the Bledsoe 3, the phantom call on Ed Davis, the obvious flop they called on Dame, then on the other end, we get whacked and no call.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless is the X factor of the team. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but he's still young.

Now let's go get Noel.

I'm not a fan of Noel at all. A super skinny big with no real offensive skills outside of running and jumping is usually not a good recipe. So he's a more athletic version of Plumlee who doesn't pass as well? We've already seen a million examples in this league of guys who have ridiculous athleticism but aren't really basketball players, and they almost always fail miserably. Please try to sell me on him.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

We need some interior defense and rebounding in the worst way. Glad we won, but there are some trends I'd like to see shored up.

 

[Sinobas]

That's true for most teams that have just 2 really good players.

We've had much more balanced teams in Portland where one guy didn't have to be on fire for us to win.

 

[Scalma]

So when do we start talking about Ed Davis? Did he forget how to play basketball?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

So when do we start talking about Ed Davis? Did he forget how to play basketball?

Yeah I'm worried; is he hurt or something?

 

[B-Roy]

Yeah I'm worried; is he hurt or something?

He's been playing like Meyers Leonard without the three point shot. That's not good at all...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I can see that, too. The question has to be "why?"
