[joeBlazers]

I just want our role players to start balling. If they ball, we win.

 

[LuckyShot]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your ass is the 2nd poster I've put on ignore! WOO HOO! This place is looking better and better..... WHO'S NEXT?!?!

Good chance the first poster was him as well lol

 

[craigehlo]

Send more doubles at Paul George. Mix it up.

 

[Strenuus]

Cj isn't even on the scorers board. Yikes. We need him to take charge.


We win the 2nd half by one point we win though. THAT'S ALL WE NEED.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude that was big time lane violation what are you talking about ? Aminu was practically dancing before the ball went up

That call should only be made on defense if there's a miss. Horrible judgement

 

[rotary111]

Kanter's getting a double shot of Bio freeze on that shoulder.

Come on big fella we need ya!

 

[EGame]

All I want to see is Georg'e get his 4th foul. Because we all know the refs will let him get away with murder. on the other hand CJ may have no chance this game

 

[BlayZa]

should be illegal to play a paul george promo in our home feed.

 

[wizenheimer]

And we get CJ back for the 2nd

lot of people have been talking about how great CJ has been. This 2nd half he needs to prove it, and he can't do it by going all hero-ball. He needs to be under control and he needs to hit shots

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

CJ has to get in rhythm very quickly in second half, stay out of foul trouble, and we have to knock down FTs. There is no way we can expect Dame to do that again in second half. Other players have to step up and we have to ratchet up the defense.

 

[Chris Craig]

Ref knew exactly what he was doing

I didnt have a problem with the call.

 

[Wade Garrett]

About Dame in this upcoming half: one of 3 things is going to happen. He's going to score more, he's going to score less, or he's going to score the same.

Dam he be learned.

 

[LuckyShot]

He will, but in the last 30 seconds.

 

[DDolla]

FINISH STRONG!!! Let’s Go Blazers

 

[Hoopguru]

In addition to Dame's superhuman first half, major props to Seth and Kanter for showing some fight.

And Turner was pushing the ball in that run with a few great assist.

 

[LuckyShot]

Ref knew exactly what he was doing

They could call that multiple times per game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Start the 2nd half with Dame on the bench, rest him til the 7 minute mark and have him play the rest of the game?

 

[Chris Craig]

There were 5 Dame 3's where he was fouled and the refs just stood there looking dumb

 

[42N8Bounce]

Dame has zero assists at half time. I expect him to pick up his game in the second half and show us better over all effort. Does he think scoring 34 points at halftime gives him the right to not play team ball?
(Sarcasm)

Go Dame!

 

[illmatic99]

Start the 2nd half with Dame on the bench, rest him til the 7 minute mark and have him play the rest of the game?

uh no. dafuq are you smoking

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ should be rested to go off this half, but I bet he gets a 4th foul immediately.

 

[bobf]

That call should only be made on defense if there's a miss. Horrible judgement

Aminu just stood there outside the lane. Never entered the lane. WWNBA

 

[Wade Garrett]

Either Dame goes for 60 or CJ takes over this half.

 

[LuckyShot]

Cj isn't even on the scorers board. Yikes. We need him to take charge.


We win the 2nd half by one point we win though. THAT'S ALL WE NEED.

Foul trouble.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

He has been really good. This series. Foul trouble can really take someone of their game and rhythm though.

 

[julius]

Yeah these refs are jobbing us

Well, the Blazers have shot 5 more FT's, and have 1 fewer fouls, so I'm not sure they're jobbing anyone.

Should there maybe have been some more free throws for Damian? Sure. But it's not like they're calling everything against Portland and nothing against OKC.

 

[bobf]

We missed 6 FTs counting the fake lane violation.

 

[Chris Craig]

CJ should be rested to go off this half, but I bet he gets a 4th foul immediately.

I bet to...how far in....52 seconds

 

[riverman]

refs just stood there looking dumb

it's how they hide a fart
