Back to back

 

[Strenuus]

Back to back and traveling that far? That's weird. At least it seems far, and given the ATL snafu on the off day.

 

[MickZagger]

We can make up for that Orlando game with a big loss here

Just got to our hotel….. almost 3am….. heading to the arena in 8.5 hours….. goodnight FAMS!

The Pistons are tied with Houston for worst record in the NBA. Detroit scored 90 points on 40% FG shooting in their last loss.

Blazer fans that want a better draft pick might have to wait until Wednesday's game against Boston.

Tired legs (Dame-Grant) are probably the one thing that could be an issue for a Blazer win. They only played 8 guys last night.

 

[Irish Trader]

Portland Trail Blazers
30-34 (31-32-1) -6.0 -225 75.1%
Detroit Pistons
15-49 (29-34-1) 229.5 +185 24.9%

Well looks like we are not going to tank this game according to the bookies. However, the Spurs know how to tank. They just lost to games back to back to Houston to gain ground on the number one spot in the draft. History tells us that this is successfull with the drafting of the Admiral and Duncan as number ones in the past. Will history repeat itself the 7'4" freakish talents of this kid in the draft.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Anyone got any inside info on Winslow?

Nothing but the fact people are actively cheering for his name to come true for the team.

They have antibiotics for that.

Good thing. Mrs. HCP might give it to everyone over this roadtrip.

 

[BBert]

Good thing. Mrs. HCP might give it to everyone over this roadtrip.

This post is out of bounds. We love Mrs. The HCP. She's the only thing bringing us joy during these long road trips.

Oh it still bring me joy. Just remember to take your penicillin on the way out.

Or, better yet, on the way IN…

Coach has his playoff rotation mindset. Getting unexperienced Blazers some experience has not been a priority this season.

Meaning this season has pretty much been a waste of time, except for Dame climbing up the scoring ladder.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard's on pace to score 188pts tonight!

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame in attack mode.

[blazerfan11]

Great defense by Little! And by great, I mean shitty. Jump up and vacate your spot. Yikes.

(although just now he kept his position).

 

[blazerfan11]

Love Sharpe going coast-to-coast!

 

[Natebishop3]

People bitch about Sharpe, but Ivey is pretty garbo.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Grant sucks what happened to this guy

 

[B-Roy]

Wiseman's defense would fit right in on this Blazers team, because he can't play a lick of it. I guess that's why some people wanted him instead of the 5 seconds.

 

[DDolla]

Dame for 45

 

[BlazerBeav]

Man, our tank efforts being completely crushed by teams more dedicated to the tank.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The Schonz would have hated Eubanks...

 

[andalusian]

Drew eubanks, fouling the pistons out by himself
