GAME THREAD: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - 12/12/13, THURS, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

[BlazerCaravan]

Robin Lopez.

Thomas Robinson.

The bench wouldn't be bad if we weren't trying to contend

Exactly.

 

[magnifier661]

I know you have been beating that drum, but not everyone.

There has been so much praise about Olshey . . . but if the bench sucks what are we praising?

The Olshey praise is how well he put a team with zero bench and only 10 mil and got us a big and quality bench players. But since we have zero bench, we are still one piece away.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gotta remember, not one of those guys picked us to make the playoffs and now Kenny is acting like of course, we're a great team.

our bench is better but that is relative, the Lopez acquisition was stellar, some of us have been saying more work needs to be done - meaning upgrading

CJ McCollum

 

[Blazinaway]

I may not even bother watching the 2nd half. The Blazers came out losers tonight, and they'll end up losers.

a "loser" does not watch the 2nd half

 

[HailBlazers]

All he said is that the bench wasn't deep

We have an okay bench, but we need... something more. Right now, Wright is a guaranteed miss, and Mo is spotty. Consistency is nice, but I barely remember what it's like

They're down 1...

 

[magnifier661]

CJ McCollum

That's who I'm hoping for to turn that corner

 

[magnifier661]

He is trying to reverse jinx brother

 

[HailBlazers]

Why don't you go repost some IGN articles or something.

SlyPokerDog is a Dick

SlyPokerDog is also a Loser

 

[KingSpeed]

why are you so concerned about what upChuck says? who gives a flyin F

I 'd like to see our guys get credit for their hard work. The winning is all that matters though.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

SlyPokerDog is a Dick

Yeah that wasn't very nice of me...

 

[Blazinaway]

IMO that's dreamin, expecting a rook who is already behind schedule to make the difference this year

 

[Natebishop3]

Here's the thing, Neil took a non-existent bench and at least made it NBA caliber. We were half NBA/half NBDL last year.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Dick



Loser

LMAO Mags..I love you!

CJ McCollum

 

[BlazerCaravan]

CJ McCollum

DNP

 

[Natebishop3]

We just need ONE guy to get going. I don't care who it is.... Dame, LA, Wes, or Nic. Just need someone to go off.

 

[magnifier661]

Roy missed 10 games his first season and got rookie of the year. We don't need a Roy. We need someone that could give us a terry the jet type performance off the bench

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I think our bench is OK. They aren't consistent . . . but that is why they are bench players. I do except Wright to hit shots at home, but I like our bench. If Barkley says our bench os thin, I agree. I just heard he doesn't like our bench and I disagree with that.

We got this game . . .

 

[Natebishop3]

I would like to see the Damian Lillard from last year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yep. Let's go Blazers!

 

[Strenuus]

LMA.

Hopefully it's aldride

He got abused by Beverley too.

 

[HailBlazers]

LMAO Mags..I love you!

While I am a homer, I'm no mags!

Second half team lets GOOO!

Out bench IS ok.... but ok won't take you very far in the playoffs. That's what we've been debating.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame getting to the line. Need more of this
