Game Thread GAME# 20: BULLS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 29, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

I credit the Bulls for being scrappy and making shots...they run the court and they were really desperate for a win tonight...they didn't lay down and lose...we beat them

 

yeah, I think this was more a case of Chicago playing up to the competition rather than Portland playing down to it

 

Looked like the Bulls wanted that game pretty bad. They played tough the whole way. Glad the Blazers took care of business.
Nice night by Hassan Whiteside! What can ya say! What the fuck happened to your offense?
Boy 1M sure has been scouted. They already know he drives right and when he goes left it's going back right every time. Kid can't get two steps into the paint without getting stuffed. He has a bunch to work on. Glad to see he is still getting minutes. I'm betting if some of those outside shots were to fall he would get a little more room to work. He didn't get some calls he should have either.
It's kind of nice to see 5 options to score on the court. Yeah i think Melo is working but IMHO Hood has been the key to this all working. Teams simply cannot leave him. He is torching them.

 

That is exactly what i watched also. The Bulls played a very tough game. Never quit. Played with a bunch of energy. Pride!

 

Well he doing other things that surprise me a little bit he rebounding throw out assist and playing decent defense. He not shooting many 3 most his shots come from different varieties location on the floor.

 

Thing with Melo he’s always done two things very well, score in the post and shoot set shots, consistently hovering around 40%. Hes getting a lot more chances on the block, something I don’t remember him seeing doing much of in OKC or Houston. I missed watching a scorer get to work down there. Haven’t really seen it since Aldridge left.

 

Melo's passing, rebounding, screening and help defense along with vocal engagement on defense have been top notch....I don't GAF what the spin doctors say....he's talking with his game

 

I'm right here and I STILL have never said that Hood is not a starter, no matter how many times you claim I said it.

Thrilled he's having a career season through 1.5 months. @OneSport3 guess you have to admit Stotts is the best coach he's ever had!

 

Define soon?

 

Being lead to wins by Carmelo Anthony and Hassan Whiteside.. Lillard is the mvp

 

Wow? Seriously cannot figure out this narrative? Every loss is because of Terry Stotts and every win is because of Damian Lillard? Even when Damian Lillard would say that is complete and udder bullshit. But if that floats yer boat? Have at it.

 

A tweet from 6 years ago?

 

good grief..

 

Are the blazers full strength?

 

I think Blazers fans should be excited. We legit added an all-star level player for nothing. This is what we've been clamoring for a while. It's still a small sample size but I'm betting on Melo and I think his great play continues. The incentive to trade for a Kevin Love is so much less. It's not even worth it because I'd rather have Hassan. I think Melo is better than most players we could add at that position. You MIGHT be able to make an argument for Blake Griffin but it's not as strong now. We need better production off the bench which is something we could certainly look at but I think we have to be excited about our starting lineup. Rodney Hood is fucking dope! Hassan too. We already know the backcourt.

Best starting lineup in a decade. Let's get some more bench help though.

We're finally getting some balance in our offense which is what I've been preaching for years. Stotts is looking better today than he has in a long while.
