[Mr. Robot]

Joe Cronin: Give me 2 firsts for Brogdon.

hes been playing good, contenders will come after him

 

[MickZagger]

Walker is just a man amongst boys right now

 

[Whyachi]

that's about the 5th Blazer kicked ball. Gotta like that legal cheating

 

[OneSport3]

Nice to see Toumani finally getting 4th quarter minutes tonight. Nice game too. 11 pts, 8 rebs, 3 stls

 

[Whyachi]

Dougie McBrickets has no answer

Portland peppering the offensive glass

 

[Mr. Robot]

scoot is killin me with missed layups

 

[illmatic99]

3 rebounds from a triple double

 

[Whyachi]

radio "Blazers trying to put the finishing touches on their 9th win of the season".

it just sounds wrong, we're missing W's

 

[Whyachi]

I'd laugh if the Spurs beat the spread. Gosh darn Blazers can't do nuthin right

 

[Tince]

Blazers cover by 0.5 points!

 

[Tince]

Whoever wanted that Scoot walkoff interview, got it tonight.

 

[Tince]

29pts, 7 assists, 1 turnover for Brogdon.

Clean game!

"we wanted revenge" - Jabari Walker

 

[riverman]

Man they really almost gave that game away tonight. Really lucky they got the W with the way that played out.

 

[illmatic99]

First walkoff!

 

[MickZagger]

Blazers cover by 0.5 points!

Whew!

 

[blazerkor]

We did it!!! We beat a team we were favored to beat! The curse is over.

The bad news is that we likely won't be favored again until we face these Spurs after 13 games that we'll likely be the dog in.

We’re wearing thin

Brogdon has shot 11-15 from 3 the last 2 games.

Scoot has shot 6-12 from 3 the last 2 games.

 

[riverman]

Great game by a lot of guys tonight. Just didn't move the ball in the end and let them back in it. Holton mentioned how when they went ISO Grant at the end they made our offense too predictable...no ball movement..easy to guard

It's so dumb. I don't understand why NBA teams don't intentionally soccer kick the ball every time someone tries a bounce pass. There is no penalty as far as I know. Unless, does it reset the shot clock?

 

[Tince]

Brogdon has shot 11-15 from 3 the last 2 games.

Scoot has shot 6-12 from 3 the last 2 games.

73.3% ?!?!?!?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Sure Scoot had another good game, but why talk about that when we can bitch and complain about his first 10 games?

 

[MickZagger]

Few things are certain in life. Death, taxes, and Wyachi ‘liking’ my masterpiece posts

 

[wizenheimer]

when was the last time Portland shot 59% on three's

you just know the scale will balance soon and Portland shoots 19% in a game

Someone needs to tell Holton the Blazers scored 63 in the second half, so it wasn't the offense that was the issue, it was 72 points a Wemby/Collinsless team put up on them.

My biggest complaint with Simon’s this year. And at times Grant

 

[riverman]

Badji has blocked 5 shots in his first 20 minutes of NBA play over two games

Says the guy who bitches about the vets whenever possible.
