Com'n bench, the air is thin. We need you to step up!

Thin air just means that Sharpe can jump even higher, right?

 

[Whyachi]

They might put weights in Shaedon's shoes so he doesn't leave the atmosphere.

 

[blazerkor]

Not an easy win by any means but if we get it we're back at .500, which would be nice and we've played them well two of the three times we've faced them.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Big game and the team is playing well. They are rested and they can make a very good game of this. Nuggets on a 6 game win streak right now. Who better than the Blazers to break that streak. Nuggets are 19-3 at home this year. Obviously a tough place to get a win.

They have a pretty unfair advantage there.

 

[Pinwheel1]

On the road against a good team, I prefer just to keep it close and hope someone goes off late in the 4th to put it away. Jumping out to a big lead early on the road never seems to hold up and when the home team makes a run the momentum is hard to stop. If we get hot it needs to be late, just don't dig a big hole to come out of.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They have a pretty unfair advantage there.

Not really sure it's all that much of an advantage in the middle of the season when they travel as much as every other team. Now in the playoffs if they have HCA and get to sit for 3-4 days before starting the series i tend to believe it helps a bit.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Lets make it a 3 game win streak tonight Zers!!! Make it happen!!!

Go Blazers!!

 

[Labinot41]

Go Blazers

 

[Whyachi]

the Blazers are due for a revenge game. Murray and Bones might be sitting out. A big Division win for Portland is a real possibility. .500 basketball, woohoo !!

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Blazers! Blow out the Nuggets

 

[Strenuus]

Let’s Go Blazers! Blow out the Nuggets

Huh....

You're already on record as saying we lost this game 3 days ago.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[AldoTrapani]

They’ll still demolish us

 

[Chris Craig]

We got this

 

[BassPlaya]

Let's get another Dubbyah!

 

[wizenheimer]

They’ll still demolish us

from the first Dallas game thread:

GUARANTEED loss

You can spot the blazers a 30 point lead right now and they’ll still lose

Just keeping it real. When it comes to the last 6-7 min of the game, the blazers are the sorriest team ever

Whose Eeyore?

in answer to your question:

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk getting fouled out surely

 

[rotary111]

I'm wondering if Fubo Tv looks at anything other than the email for the free trial.

Weve been bouncing between DirectTv and Fubo to see what we liked best overall. I've used 3 diffent emails now for Fubo, each time I used the same first and last name and card number.

I just cleared the app and it connected.

Did I crack the code to free Blazer tv? Green font ^

 

[DDolla]

C’mon Nuggets, give us this one please

Fubo will eventually lock you out. It also registers that your card was used multiple times for a free trial.

I prefer DirectTv over Fubo by the way.

 

[Cugel]

It is winnable if the shooting is like it has been the last two games. Need more than just Dame to step up. Need Ant and Grant at 20 plus each

I figured there was no way they were going to let me have another free trial at the same location.

I miss Evoca. Tbh.

Yeah, I wouldn't keep trying. Then you won't be able to actually pay for the service should you choose it. I think it pings your location, so it doesn't matter how many emails or whatnot you use. I don't know if using different VPNs would fool it. Not sure exactly how that works.

I miss Evoca somewhat too. I will say for those who don't want to switch from Hulu, that direct TV is not far off from it. While DirectTV doesn't let you have your own profile (as far as I know) or pop up movies/shows based on what you watch, it does have on demand as well as carries NBAtv (Hulu doesn't...not sure about Fubo).

I have found all of the shows I watched on demand are also available via on demand on DirectTV. It wasn't as bad as a change as I thought. And, I actually pay a little less.

 

[Tince]

Never comfortable going up against an Adelman

[BigGameDamian]

C’mon Nuggets, give us this one please

If Nurkic is hitting from three that could be a problem for the Nuggets.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

How can anyone with the tunnel vision of Simons ever be a quality PG?
