[illmatic99]

Looks like Nurkic and Grant may be out again too.

Grant is in. Nurk is out. Dame is out. Keon is out. Sharpe is out.

 

[bobf]

Go Blazers!!
I’m most interested in seeing progress from Ant and Shaedon and coherent offense taking care of the ball.

 

[bobf]

Glad that we have some great wins and we can take this L

What’s an L?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

...are we certain GP2 is still out?

Tonight would have been a great time for him to come back.

 

[MickZagger]

Why so many resting players? You want to get up in the standings early while you can

 

[B-Roy]

We're about to allow another 20 offensive rebounds to this group.

 

[wizenheimer]

Seriously, our bench is Nas, Walker, Watford...and then Brown and Butler?

What's the over/under on Blazer turnovers tonight? about 22.5?

that's the o/u on the 1st half

 

[DDolla]

What’s an L?

Damn. We’re winning too much and we don’t know how to lose with an L

 

[bobf]

Oh jeez forgot we’re playing CJ. Yikes hope he dribbled into traffic.

 

[bobf]

Damn. We’re winning too much and we don’t know how to lose with an L

L no!

 

[MickZagger]

Long as you're mucking up the game thread with your reverse jinx downer posts, my faith in an eventual victory is boundless.

You confused reverse jinx for trolling

 

[AldoTrapani]

Watch Cj kill us tonight even though he hasn’t been shooting well

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Considering turnovers and offensive boards, Pels are gonna get about 10-15 more FGA than the Blazers.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You confused reverse jinx for trolling

No your just soft

 

[PtldPlatypus]

You confused reverse jinx for trolling

I'm taking him at his word. He has repeatedly said that his game thread negativity is reverse jinxing, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. That's how I roll

 

[B-Roy]

New Orleans Hornets

Simmons

Come on Calabro

 

[BBert]

There is a part of me that wonders if that since i appears that we are a deep team if it is planned that way where we purposely overreact and sit players out to open up more time for other players

And more opportunities to develop and acclimate players. This will pay dividends in the playoffs.

 

[Mr. Robot]

winslow channeling his inner nurk

 

[illmatic99]

what are you doing justise

 

[Cugel]

Zion tipping the scales, evidently, at 285. F'me. That's massive.

 

[illmatic99]

ant is slightly long on all his shots. tune that in and this will be a good night for him. shot release looks clean; just missing

 

[B-Roy]

Eubanks on the pick and roll defense reminds me of Kanter.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You gotta have guts to take a charge from Zion.

 

[wizenheimer]

Simons needs to start playing and shooting like a 25M/year man instead of a 2.5M/year man

 

[riverman]

I love Hart and Winslow....they grind guys down

 

[MickZagger]

Eubanks on the pick and roll defense reminds me of Kanter.

Damn dude you’re always all over Eubank’s case.

Leave the Shaq of Troutdale alone

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nurk in street clothes again?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Nurk in street clothes again?

He's a cosmopolitan European man; athletic gear isn't fashionable enough for him.

 

[riverman]

It's Jeremy Grant time!

 

[riverman]

Jeremy has 4 boards early...that's a good sign
