Part deux

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Gonna have to dig pretty deep to win this one.
Hope they can.

I think we get Nurk and JG more involved while Dame dominates and Ant has at least an average game by his standards... and we kick their asses. See I don't think we have to dig deep, I think we have to show up with some intensity and this one won't be as close as the last one was.

 

[twobullz]

Keon is out again? Did I miss him on the team release?

 

[Idog1976]

Get em again! We need to start rolling!

Hope so. I just know getting two in a row against any team in the league is tough. That last loss bumped them down to 11th in the western conference and has the Blazers sitting alone in 6th.
If the T-Wolves can win this game they got to be thinking about this as a divisional game as well as a conference game.
I know it's a page out of @KSF-ERIC playbook but divisional and conference games are starting to make a difference. I'm pretty certain both teams will play very hard in this game.

 

[Mr. Robot]

ill be really disappointed if we lose this game

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

ill be really disappointed if we lose this game

I'm disappointed when we lose any game.

 

[Strenuus]

ill be really disappointed if we lose this game

I won't be. It's December.

 

[BassPlaya]

Tough second meeting. Gobert is looooooooonnnnngggggggg. Hope we get duh dubbyah!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I won't be. It's December.

That is very true until it's same conference and same division. This game has some value so while losing it may not be season ending or anything like that winning it might make things a bit easier in March and April.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm disappointed when we lose any game.

Well as a Beaver fan, you think you'd be used to it by now.....#BAM!

 

[blazerfan11]

It's Star Wars night at the Moda Center.

That win over the ducks has us thirsty for more.

Blazers haven't actually played on Star Wars Day since 1999. Would be awesome if they could this year.

 

[illmatic99]

I won't be. It's December.

yes, but we are playing against a division rival at home while they're missing their best player, and we're relatively healthy. this should be a win.

going up 2-0 in the season series would be big.

 

[illmatic99]

Keon is out again? Did I miss him on the team release?

he's not on the injury list according to the team. could get a DNP-CD, but he's available.

@Chris Craig suggest you somehow integrate this account's feed into the game threads if possible...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck. Only 1 pick away. This dude would have been perfect for us

 

[Chris Craig]

Keon is out again? Did I miss him on the team release?

No. I made these early when he still was. I have had Covid and forgot to edit.

 

[illmatic99]

No. I made these early when he still was. I have had Covid and forgot to edit.

damn, is that still a thing?!

get well soon. thanks for the threads!

 

[Chris Craig]

damn, is that still a thing?!

get well soon. thanks for the threads!

Yes. Yes it is.

Finally got me.

 

[blazerfan11]

Fuck. Only 1 pick away. This dude would have been perfect for us

If we're talking 1 pick away, I would rather have had Hakeem Olajuwon. I think he would have been better for that team than Jordan.

 

[blazedanugz]

Can’t make it to the game tonight…
Selling 2 club level tickets with parking pass included for $150 if anyone is interested!

I’m about to get on a plane to Sacramento or I’d jump all over that. Next time.

 

[Eastoff]

Yes. Yes it is.

Finally got me.

The brain fog is real.

[KSF-ERIC]

I won't be. It's December.

Don’t December games count? This one game could determine whether we get HCA in April?
