[KSF-ERIC]

Let’s goooooo!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Tough to win all three in Texas but you can get two!

 

[Chris Craig]

Let's try and beat the Rockets

 

[blazerkor]

Let's try and beat the Rockets

We need to set a tone for what we're going to be like from these next three games on, by really putting it on these two teams. We need to beat the Rockets badly and follow it up by doing the same to the Thunder in the next two.

 

[DDolla]

OK Blazers, now win 3 straight before heading to Denver

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Rockets have been playing really well lately. Beating good teams. I think they beat the Bucks a few days ago.

So they aren’t Trash?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So they aren’t Trash?

The Rockets are absolutely NOT trash. Suns are trash though. Warriors too.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

The Rockets are absolutely NOT trash. Suns are trash though. Warriors too.

I see.

 

[Cugel]

this gets so exhausting...
I hereby declare every team trash and not-trash, blazers included.

 

[rotary111]

I wanted Sengun back in the draft. I'd love to pick him up somehow.

He's a good young talent that looks like he's developing nicely.

 

[B-Roy]

Grant isn't gonna play.

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant isn't gonna play.

Back spasms. He may still play, it's still uncertain.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Back spasms. He may still play, it's still uncertain.

He ain’t playin.

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant isn't gonna play.

Where do you see that? I see him as "questionable."

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Where do you see that? I see him as "questionable."

I’m psychic.

 

[B-Roy]

Where do you see that? I see him as "questionable."

Questionable for this team means out.

 

[Stevenson]

How many does Dame need to score tonight to pass Clyde?

 

[illmatic99]

How many does Dame need to score tonight to pass Clyde?

45 to tie 46 to pass

 

[THE HCP]

Walker starting

 

[THE HCP]

And now it’s Winslow

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

How many does Dame need to score tonight to pass Clyde?

How many does he need to score to help us win?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Walker starting

You're joking, right?

 

[crandc]

After last night's embarrassment I hope they come out blazing.

 

[THE HCP]

You're joking, right?

For 15 minutes that was the plan…….scary thought

 

[SIeepwalker]

Winslow starting ? ugh

 

[Stevenson]

How many does he need to score to help us win?

No. Thats not what I asked or care about.

 

[HailBlazers]

Winslow starting ? ugh

LOL @hoopsjock

 

[illmatic99]

i think this is Ant's first trip to the line in 6 games.
