Should be fun

Should be fun

Going to the game Thursday so hopefully it is the game Wemby plays. Will be good to see Collins.

Anyone else notice how many former Blazers are playing every night? Seems like every team has one or two. The Bucks/Nets game had seven!

 

[blazerkor]

We're favored by 5.5 points in this one. So far this season we are 0-2 in games where Vegas favors us. I think this could be the first game in which we are favored and get the win. That being said I predicted that we would get slaughtered by the Kings. So as always what the fuck do I know? Not a damn thing.

If the Blazers are favored, bet accordingly!

A little expensive to go see Wemby tonight? I see he has been upgraded to probable. Would hate to spend that money and not get to see him?

Also says he will sit one of the B2Bs.

 

[stampedehero]

This is the first game; I'll pick the Blazers to win.

 

[BBert]

Popovich is a Master Tanker. There is none better. Bet Blazers.

Looks like he will sit on Friday.

He was yesterday.

 

[Cugel]

god they baby him.

 

[OR-84]

Going to the game with my nephew. Anyone have a parking pass they want to sell? Since @SharpeScooterShooter gifted me that pass last time I feel like it is now the only way I can travel…I spend my days on TriMet as an FLS community transition teacher we are out riding public transportation daily. I like having some nice things once in a while and a parking pass seems fitting. Happy to pay if anyone has one for tonight.

 

[blazerfan11]

god they baby him.

I don't know how Wemby and Lebron are mentioned in the same sentence.
Lebron averaged 39.5. minutes per game his rookie season and played 79 games.

But , it could be part of the tanking. Might as well come in one of the last 3 places.

You just did put them in the same sentence.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Busy day. @OR-84 on its way. Won’t be there tonight or tomorrow.

Dude….I wish I could have recorded my nephews shriek when he heard the message from you. He is so excited! You are such a cool person and I will happily buy you a pizza and beer to compensate. Someone give this guy a trophy!

scoot henderson plays basketball today

 

[OneSport3]

No Ant and Reath tonight.

 

[Chris Craig]

No Ant and Reath tonight.

Ant is Ill...Reath too?

 

[OneSport3]

Ant is Ill...Reath too?

Looks like lower back soreness.

 

[Chris Craig]

Not going to be easy tonight. Lot of guys out

 

[julius]

This is gonna be an ugly game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoot has a chance to go off

Moses MVP level night?

 

[OneSport3]

How bad are the Spurs? Even with 3 starters out and our backup C, we’re still 3 point favorites.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow we’re seriously tanking already. Simons increased his trade value and now he sits? And Reath? Say what? There must be someone in the draft we really like. I hope Scoot tanks the tank and we win.
