[Chris Craig]

Let's get back to .500 at the break.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Porzingas cooks them.
Just seems like the last few teams have all had a big guy that the Blazers have to deal with.
GS Looney, Bucks Giannis/Lopez, Lakers Davis, Wizards Porzingas (Twice), Bulls Vucevic.

Glad they picked up a little length.
Maybe the Blazers can get it rolling early again and put these guys away?

 

[maxiep]

Please remove the line about how Gary Payton II played for the Wizards. His stain on this team should only be left in the "GPII Traded" thread.

 

[Whyachi]

Wizards are about to walk into a Blazers blender. Lillard doing MVP stuff. Shaedon is killing it. Thybulle and Eubanks hunting blocks (which DOES WORK Blazers Uprise, when there's more then 1 person playing defense). That practice game vs. Lakers was only the warm up.

 

[BlazerBeav]

A win and even the slightest hint of momentum going into the break would be nice for my emotional state. Delusion is much better maintained with occasional reinforcement.

 

[Irish Trader]

Washington Wizards
26-30 (26-29-1) 235.5 +130 41.5%
Portland Trail Blazers
28-29 (29-27-1) -3.0 -1555 8.5%

Looks like we are favored based on the last LA game giving three points seems to be understating the spread

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I like that Billups went 4 deep into the bench during the game before garbage time. They need to keep those guys active for times like these.

 

[BassPlaya]

I enjoyed that win last night so much, I thought about having a cigarette.

I don't even smoke.

 

[BassPlaya]

Delusion is much better maintained with occasional reinforcement.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

One more win and then take a break. Please.

What is the situation with Jerami Grant? Still concussion protocol? How does that work?

 

[B-Roy]

Not ready to play yet because they're still waiting on their monthly shipment of Toradol.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

What is the situation with Jerami Grant? Still concussion protocol? How does that work?

Well now it works that he’s out for the next 10 days.

 

[Natebishop3]

Anyone got a link? Trying to find a link on my phone sucks.

 

[LayneStaley]

Cam seems decent on D to me.

Check your inbox (in a second).

Also, anyone else like that make up call right before the timeout?

 

[illmatic99]

Think dame might have hurt his wrist

 

[blazerfan11]

Even with his mistakes we might need Eubanks more than usual in this game.

 

[illmatic99]

Ant needs to snap out of whatever funk this is. Getting to .500 at the break feels a lot different from 2 under.

 

[blazerfan11]

Think dame might have hurt his wrist

He seems to be ok on the bench.

[AldoTrapani]

Ant sucks once again tonight

 

[DaLong]

Gafford completely smashed Walker and still complained he got called for the foul, SMH NBA players are laughable sometimes.

 

[DDolla]

Dame another buzzer beater 3

 

[DaLong]

Lillard cheat code.

 

[wizenheimer]

one of thos games when you say: 'they can't keep shooting so well and we can't keep shooting so poor....right'

 

[AldoTrapani]

Don’t we have elite defender now to guard Kuzma fuck man

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why isn’t Thybulle guarding Kuzma!!

 

[Tince]

Why is Taj Gibson getting minutes for the Wiz?
