[Chris Craig]

Well it's not the Mavericks

 

[blazerkor]

This would be a surprising win if we can pull it off. I'm just hoping to see some fight from our guys.

 

[kjironman1]

Why is Ayton still out? I was kind of hoping we’d get someone that was more durable than Nurk? Seems like Nurk has been way more healthy this year?

 

[TBpup]

Hot take: They will be closer than the last 2 games against the Mavs.

 

[Whyachi]

I didn't know Brooklyn picked up Keon Johnson ?? Why didn't anyone post about this transaction? We got too many slackers on this board. Should have been breaking former Blazer news.

 

[illmatic99]

Found last min tix. Hope i can make it to barclays by the first q

 

[Labinot41]

9PM here. I love these early games so fucking much. Go Blazers

 

[Labinot41]

Did Shaedon lose the starting spot or what happened? Blazers should value Shaedon a lot more

 

[Whyachi]

Nets radio talkin' Billups war stories. Coach had epic playoff battles with Jason Kidd back in the day.

 

[Whyachi]

Did Shaedon lose the starting spot or what happened? Blazers should value Shaedon a lot more

"load management" (ab/groin injuries)

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers shooting 21% to start this one
(that's subpar)

 

[OneSport3]

Scoot’s float game needs a lot of work. There’s no touch to it. He throws them up with too much heat.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Listen up GM's. Brooklyn announcers say Grant would be a great addition for a championship team.

 

[Whyachi]

Duop 2 quick fouls, Badji comes in and smacks a Net

 

[Whyachi]

there's 2 Sharpe's in the game. That never happens.

 

[blazerkor]

We're about to be playin a lot of very small, small ball.

 

[Whyachi]

Badji just picked up his 2nd foul. If the Blazers Centers get in foul trouble, who gets the minutes at 5 spot?

 

[Whyachi]

nice flop Malcom! Vet move

 

[Whyachi]

big strong Olympian Cam Johnson chuckin' 3's against Blazer small ball. That's just sad.

 

[B-Roy]

That’s the second inbound turnover thrown by Kris in the last two games.

 

[illmatic99]

Not having a big is killing our already anemic rebounding

 

[illmatic99]

Not having a big is killing our already anemic rebounding

 

[illmatic99]

Lol their coach is not happy. Timeout first play

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeath !!
Coach Vaughn calls timeout immediately. Don't leave Duop open.

 

[Whyachi]

that wasn't illegal D
that ref sucks

 

[Whyachi]

Thybulle has a cousin playing ball in NCAA

 

[illmatic99]

Jerami missing Shaedon on the lob. Ugh

 

[Whyachi]

DSJ got an ouchy, he's shaking it off now

 

[B-Roy]

Appreciate Shaedons aggressiveness but the results are eh
