GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm already bracing myself for Markkanen and Olynyk to combine for like 15 threes.

Hopefully not open threes.

 

[Cugel]

Dame and Ant HAVE to be better. 65mil/yr has to shoot better than 38%. Lets face it Portland does not have a proven efficient shooter, like Booker etc. Grant is off to a good start though.

If they start off like 2 for 10 you know it could get ugly. Sharpe is looking great but doesnt get the touches.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They have an “Ag-bad-g” and the Blazers have a “Bad-g”

 

[Shaboid]

Any duck fans going to the game tomorrow? Gonna bust out some fun chants to try and throw the jazz off their game?

 

[Chris Craig]

Johnny Juzang in the corner

 

[Predator]

Shocker. GPII out another 2 weeks.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Uh oh it’s ON. After press conference, Will Hardy was joking with a reporter about Portland not having good hotels or something. I couldn’t quite make it out but they were laughing at our expense. On prime’s league pass, I have a direct feed to press room. Hardy was in the doorway when making the joke.

Okay guys, let’s blow them OUT!!

Portland doesn’t. It’s no secret. Been a joke for years.

They aren't wrong lol.

Sharpe also doesn't get the attention from the other team's defense. It's not like teams game plan for him.

The Jazz TV announcer said during tonight's game that the game tomorrow starts at 7:30.

I hope the Jazz don’t think it’s til 7:30.

 

[THE HCP]

They aren't wrong lol.

Shit. The Nines where the teams stay is a fantastic hotel.

 

[Strenuus]

Shit. The Nines where the teams stay is a fantastic hotel.

It is. But we aren't exactly excelling in the area of hotels lol

 

[Wade Garrett]

Shit. The Nines where the teams stay is a fantastic hotel.

As long as they can get to the Nike store, they're happy.

 

[THE HCP]

As long as they can get to the Nike store, they're happy.

Man none of those guys go to that store....they all take the team bus out to the EMPLOYEE STORE though.

 

[Mr. Robot]

this should be a really tough one, even though jazz are on a b2b

they won against the suns last night in a high scoring game and they are pretty similar team to us in terms of playing style (they share the ball, giving great effort on both ends of the floor), the only difference is that they dont have a star

should be a good, high intensity game (unless last nights game affects them)

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I'm kind of expecting the Blazers to come out pretty hungry in this game. The loss to Brooklyn I'm sure stung a bit. Need a home win.
I'm thinking about picking up a ticket and going to watch this one?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Man none of those guys go to that store....they all take the team bus out to the EMPLOYEE STORE though.

That's what I meant.

 

[Cugel]

Tough game tonight. Not sure they will be able to stop Lauri.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Mountain Time Zone.
Our 6:30 pre-game is their 7:30 pre-game.

 

[AldoTrapani]

No excuses. Jazz played last night in a high scoring fast paced game against the suns while we were resting. I expect a win and anything less would be garbage from us

LOL!!

 

[oldmangrouch]

I have the feeling there is no middle ground for this game. It will either be a strong win against a very competitive team, or it will be an embarassing loss.

 

[oldmangrouch]

LOL!!

Interesting. You claim to respect Marang for "putting himself out there", but you are condescending as hell to the fans here who dare to disagree with you.

 

[Idog1976]

I wanna see Sharpe get lots of touches/shots and hopefully plays. Most of all of course, U want a win!
