Game Thread Game #13 - Blazers @ Rockets - NOVEMBER 12, 2021 - FRIDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

We need to bump the thread from game 1 in the preseason. Some dumb-ass comments about Nas in that one.

 

that's been obvious for a long time

people always talk about how well CJ plays without Dame. What people haven't paid attention to is how well Dame plays without CJ. He's a better version of himself

 

With all that taken into consideration, I still have more faith in Dame regressing back to his mean than CJ.

 

Congratulated Olivia, and Grant HS on making the final, then said how HCP has been with the Trail Blazers for 50 years, and is 75 years old.

 

Nah, the Warriors are still better, even on the road.

Good to get a win, though!

 

Simons plays way better with him in the game too.

 

Nassir has star potential. It's so clear to see. It's only a matter of time before he moves into the starting lineup.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say star potential....I'd think star = at least all-star

but he may become a player similar to Gerald Wallace where his energy and athleticism motivates the Blazers and disrupts their opponents.

 

He's way ahead of where Jimmy Butler was on offense at the same point in his career and his defense is pretty lockdown too. How is he not the starting small forward of our dreams?

He just needs to stay aggressive on offense.

 

Jayson Tatum or Butler or PG13 would be the SF or our dreams because the dream should be tied to Dame's timeline

don't get me wrong, I'm all for Little getting playing time. He should be getting consistent minutes, but he's competing with Powell, CJ, and Ant; not RoCo or Nance

 

Cryptic Nurk is back and is probably not so happy.

 

Pissed he didn't get the ball enough. I agree with him.

 

Nurk is so EMO -- what could he and ROCO return (without including MeJ)?? I love the Bosnian Beast -- but seems more like the Bosnian Least mentally nowadays

 

We would have nothing but bumped threads if we bumped all the threads with dumbass comments in them

 

Yes, it would be nice to have Coleman Griffith for the team.
I was all for waiting till deadline with CJ trade, but it seems we can't wait with it.
1/3 vs 7/21? A joke. How can Nurk be Bosnian Beast? Should he steal the ball from CJ?
We all know how unhappy Nurk plays.

 

I love me some Nas, but if you look at his game, I don’t think you can see star potential. I mean that in the sense that guys like Kersey, Gerald Wallace, etc. weren’t “stars” IMO both very good, very important players who each had a season or so where they made an all star team

 

CJ Sucks!
It doesn't get any worse than CJ!
I hate watching what CJ does!
CJ completely destroys the offense!
Dame Plays better without CJ!
There is no way CJ is worth the contract he is on!

We need to trade CJ for a really good wing that can shoot and play defense....

 

CJ is great player. He just does not fit ball moving system and Dame.
