Our last game before the melo era.

Its surreal.

DDolla · Nov 16, 2019

This game is a blow out and Harden scores 50

Stop man. Stop - keep it. That’s a W

blazerkor · Nov 16, 2019

With CJ having found his shot and Dame due for a big one, I think we have a shot at this game. I think the team is excited to have Melo coming in and that is translating to more energy on the floor. I'm not saying we're going to blow the Rockets out but I think we'll win a close one.

Scalma · Nov 16, 2019

How the fuck does this rockets team manage to make themselves even more annoying I might not even watch this game even a win would take years off my life

Think if its cp3, Russ, Harden, Beverly, and draymond all on the same team.

no

Scalma · Nov 16, 2019

Just for the record tho I would take Draymond on the blazers any day.

THE HCP · Nov 17, 2019

Russ is averaging 21/7/8 and his team is 10-3....... does he still suck? Set me straight, is he good again because he's NOT averaging a triple double?

VanillaGorilla · Nov 17, 2019

Starting Melo right away would be insane. But he should be useful on the second unit if he really has something left.

Stop it, Harden is the best player by 100 miles on this team. If it wasnt for Harden, they would be 2-11 or so. Westbrook sucks and isn't even good for a 2nd option anymore

Labinot41 · Nov 17, 2019

More than 8 Shots for Hood !

kjironman1 · Nov 17, 2019

So i would continue to start Little and see what he can continue to bring.
Harden is tough to assignment for anyone but i assume we will have to see both Hood and Bazemore working on him.
Blazers have the players and tools to match with the Rockets. But i'm more worried about players like Rivers, McLemore, Tucker and Capella having a big night.

Labinot41 · Nov 17, 2019

Fuck it let Nas defend Harden, we will probably lose this game anyway so at least this matchup will be good for his experience

So we are going to blow them out even though Harden scores 50. Sounds good to me.

My brain can't do that

Keep starting Little

yeah where he at

Blazers1977 · Nov 17, 2019

Lillard needs this game and has always been motivated by Westbrook’s shit talk.Westbrook has been waiting for this game since the moment after Lillard hit the series winner last year.

Wow, this graph and the Blazers graph are basically the spiderman meme

Bruno_Sabino · Nov 17, 2019

We can win this game.

You want CJ to guard him?

Isn't Hood/Bazemore the very obvious answer ?

SIeepwalker · Nov 17, 2019

Then you have Dame on Russ and we all know how that one goes
