Man that Simmons kid can’t play defense to save his life.

 

[PDXFonz]

hassan has some lead feet wow

He been smokin too much Portland weed

 

[BonesJones]

CJ trapped and skip to SF in the corner. Teams dont run out on the SF last year because its Moe. Now that its Hood, they have to and he gets inside.

 

[Titan]

Crazy that we have only made 1 three, then we finally make another

 

[The Professional Fan]

Baze and Hood launching lefty 3's is gonna be wild

 

[The Professional Fan]

Baze and Hezonia are balls of fury and energy

 

[kjironman1]

Whiteside better get ready faster and sooner. That feed is coming all year long.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That was not a charge at least by how they normally call it. If he was a star thats an and one..

 

[kjironman1]

Plumlee still not a threat from more than 3 feet.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Seriously, if Zach pops.....look the fuck out. He looks so comfortable and dangerous. Give it all to me!!!!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Ok, bench Lillard.

 

[kjironman1]

Blazers do seem to be pushing the pace better.

 

[illmatic99]

i dunno about this rodney at 4 thing

 

[Hoopguru]

Collins is a stud!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Giving the Nuggs PTSD lmao

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What color Hezonja jersey should I get? Damn fun watching him play. Probably white

 

[The Professional Fan]

WHO'S A BIG BOY?

ZACH COLLINS IS A BIG BOY!

 

[James lamphear]

Great time rim protection by Zach and much improved on the mid range shot.

 

[blazerfan11]

Collins looking good. I'd like to see him at center with Hezonja at PF sometime. He looks a lot better than Whiteside shooting the mid-range jumper.

 

[illmatic99]

Zach is shutting down the rim.

 

[illmatic99]

As we've been speculating, think whiteside is gone in a deal for a 3/4 come jan/feb

Really under control. Looks like a money shot for him (and the Blazers! ) .

 

[The Professional Fan]

Seriously though, Zach doesn't look lanky anymore

 

[riverman]

Shakin' off the rust...now we're cookin'

 

[riverman]

I swear Paul Millsap is the next Tim Duncan...that dude does everything well and never skips a beat

 

[The Professional Fan]

Fun first half. Fun team. Need some jelling for sure. I think our ceiling looks very good.

THE CEILING IS THE ROOF

Unfortunately for him at his best he’s like 1/2 of TD at his best, but yeah I get what you’re saying.

I think he's really underrated

 

[Hoopguru]

It’s great to see the energy and up tempo!
