[PtldPlatypus]

So disappointing that neither Powell nor Winslow will play

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Another Lillard vs Westbrook classic.

[Chris Craig]

I can't believe the Blazers paid Pau Gasol's foot $2.6 million. Wait, strike that...yes I can.

 

[KingSpeed]

 

[Shaboid]

No poll?

 

[Bingo Bango]

Westbrook says he’s on the warpath tonight.

 

[Whyachi]

I guess Grant is a scratch tonight.

Watford watch in full effect.
The Blazers might win, or they might lose, but Trendon's stats will be a key bullet point.

 

[Shaboid]

Anybody plan on watching this game?

 

[BigGameDamian]

I can’t believe Baylor is loosing. LoL

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Anybody plan on watching this game?

So many games on aren't there? Watching Ducks in NIT. like to watch Farleigh Dickinson....

 

[Labinot41]

I hope we can stay competitive, and Dame destroys Westbricks ass, but in the end, hopefully the Clippers take the W

 

[illmatic99]

I need Ant to hit 7 threes to not get eliminated in fantasy

 

[DDolla]

Game Over in the 1st quarter… glad the Tank still ON

 

[riverman]

Watford never saw a layup he couldn't brick

 

[Tince]

I need Ant to hit 7 threes to not get eliminated in fantasy

Given your current roster, may I suggest you start tanking as well?

 

[riverman]

Dame just took the game over

 

[illmatic99]

Given your current roster, may I suggest you start tanking as well?

Huh? How do you know my roster? I dont think you are in the league with my college buddies

 

[Tince]

This "Legends Cast" on 1253 featuring Neil Everett, Chris Dudley, Terry Porter, and Antonio Harvey is something...

 

[e_blazer]

Porn-stache Plumlee.

 

[Tince]

Huh? How do you know my roster? I dont think you are in the league with my college buddies

There is no requirment around here to be educated on the topic to have a strong opinion.

If you're losing, you are a bad manager, and you must tank. Your effort is horrible, your substitution patterns are awful, and I'd say anyone who knows basketball could do better.

How'd I do?

 

[riverman]

Now we're cookin'

 

[wizenheimer]

if Dame wasn't ice-cold the Blazers would have the lead

 

[AldoTrapani]

I think that analytics guy was faded during the halftime show lol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nice blooper Nurk!

 

[Tince]

if Dame wasn't ice-cold the Blazers would have the lead

Dame is the only one who appears to understand the situation we're in.

 

[Labinot41]

i wish we would see more Shaedon, less Simons

 

[AldoTrapani]

Whatever happened to Simons??

He has been utterly useless for a long time now

 

[KingSpeed]

Bench scoring is great tonight. Otherwise, we’d be down 40.
