Would love to see the starters put this one away early and hopefully net Trey some big minutes tonight.

Some love for Spoon
You shouldnt, but I wont get into the specifics. Lets just say he has one source with one agenda.
Is there a reason they're going to random LSU guys instead of local Pels reporters?
Local Pels reporters are loyal to the Front office, not the family. National guys also would prefer to be in the good graces of a front office over one players family. Why Windy will only talk abotu 'rumblings' and not go on record and report things unless the team wants him to.
General feeling in Pels FO: Zion's stepfather <<<< LaVar Ball
Let that sink in
CJ on tonight
cj damn near always give up a turnover when he force the ball inside to jonas..
Bet anything that the Pels go on a run as soon as Jonas goes to the bench. His defense holds this team back so much
Need Devonte to have one more miracle game -- this Friday. Then throw him to the bench and never let him off
Send Graham to Birmingham.
A guard that can't hit an open 3, is not for me
Leave it to the Pels to try and make this game interesting
Putrid
These Portland kids seem like they wanna stick it to CJ.
Half-time adjustments please.
Bad sequence to end the half. CJ with a contested shot with 7+ seconds still left, and then BI fouls at the other end with 0.5 on the clock. Really seemed like Elleby shot and then fell down on his own after the shot, and BI just tripped over him after.
CJ with the low basketball IQ play there. Takes the shot too early at the end of the half, leading to 3 free throws for the Blazers.
That sequence is a microcosm of the lack of focus we had in the first half. Classic trap game, going against lottery-bound Portland in between 2 games against the Lakers. The Pels walked into the Moda Center thinking this was an easy win. Maybe this halftime score will give them the kick in the butt they need.
Pels will win this game. My worry is that the Lakers will see how easy it is to just play a zone against these guys.
Pels have to win this game but they ain't playing like it.
A 2-3 zone isn't exactly a complex to bust concept.
Jaxon is a better 3 point shooter than Devonte
Didn't LeBron make that same charge last game?
3-16, 19% from 3 for the Pels. POR at 40%. There's the difference.
we go loose...team focus on friday...
Gimme any of these Portland guys, who are all making the minimum, over Devonte.
Hayes athleticism and size are obvious, but he has a nice shooting touch too. Trustworthy from the FT line.
The worst team to play against is a team that has nothing to play for.
Bi has to go to the rim every time
Exact type of game where an 12th man like Naji helps you. Whole game is sleepwalking and he is just grateful to be playing. Other team has scrubs like him, and he gives you a boost
I like how Naji is driving aggressively to the rim
Spurs lost tonight
We're going to have to win this game with free throws I guess.
Pels are having a very cold shooting night.
CJ 4-8 from the line. Pels 4-19 from 3. 21%
Let's go. Get serious now. Foot on the floor, finish it out.
Love Jax, but being able to trust Nance's low paint D late in the game is a breath of fresh air!
This Blazers team will never play this good the rest of the season.
Devonte Graham 16 min 2 pts...leaving it all out on the court.
I wonder if Devonte has trouble sleeping, due to the fact that he is constantly worried that the cops are going to barge into his house at any given moment and arrest him for stealing money
I think Hebert Jones rookies legs are gassed out and I don't think he'll be back till next season. 72 games under his belt is impressive to say the least. We need Zion badly, because I think Herb is tired and that Rookie wall got him till the offseason. He needs to regroup.
