[Chris Craig]

Back to losing?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Boston's entire starting lineup is out or questionable.

 

[Chris Craig]

Boston's entire starting lineup is out or questionable.

Most of them will likely play. We will see.

 

[illmatic99]

Why the later start time?

 

[blazerkor]

Why the later start time?

NBATV?

 

[OneSport3]

Dalano Banton Revenge Game, Part II

 

[TYDame]

Is that legal for resting players?

 

[THE HCP]

Most of them will likely play. We will see.

Why would they?

 

[Cugel]

Thank god they aren’t playing

 

[Whyachi]

Is that legal for resting players?

there are no penalties for benching starters in Blazer games. The league has designated Portland as a draft & development sanctuary.

 

[Whyachi]

Why would they?

Lillard, CJ, & the Melo crew rolled into Boston and torched the Celtics 4 years ago. Jaylen Brown went 6-22, and many blogs were written on Celtic stinkiness.

The following year the Dameless Blazers uglied up another game in Boston. Tatum went 0-6 from deep, and Brown piled up another batch of bricks. The Celtics got bullied by Nurkic, and Portland's secret weapon Ben McLemore canned 4 triples off the bench. Once again, the relentless army of podcasters in Beantown aquired gaslighting cannisters and ridiculed their team.

Why would Tatum & Brown play tonight? a mixture of revenge, win #50, and practice reps against a Blazers team that is bottom of the barrel in opponent FG%

You live in a very interesting world sir/ma’am if you believe Tatum and Brown have this game circled on their calender. Very interesting indeed FAMS.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Most of them will likely play. We will see.

Or maybe they will start the second teamers, see if they can win with them?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why would they?

To guarantee an easy win.

While I'm sure they don't have circled on a calendar, they are likely licking their lips for this easy win.

It's like a little mini vacation in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Come sit by the pool and drink wine then go sit on the sidelines at the Moda and watch a game.
Just stay out of the strip clubs.

[RippedCity]

Hopefully, Blazers legend Jrue Holiday gets a standing ovation tonight

 

[THE HCP]

[SharpeScooterShooter]

So i have a friend who is a huge Boston fan. I feel sorry for him and his 100 level tickets he bought and drove down from Seattle for to not be able to see Bostons best players.
Thats why they should play. For the paying fans.
More and more I'm just… fuck the nba….
