[TBpup]

The only win from the last road trip. Will it be a revenge game for the Nets, or the first series season sweep for the Blazers?

Be careful out there. It could be freezing rain and icy conditions.

 

[Shaboid]

No idea who this guy is, but that clock is pretty cool. If I wanted the table or chair though, I think it'd be more fun to try and build something myself. Only available at the game on Friday!

 

[Whyachi]

in that last matchup, Brooklyn played great, Portland played great. It was a really good game! These teams matchup well. Wait until some better draft picks start rolling in for the Nets.... we might have a future rivalry on our hands.

Maybe if we met in the finals once. Or if a trade between these teams happen.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[B-Roy]

That's a new way to avoid playing....

 

[wizenheimer]

I've heard of icing down after a game, and during a game, but this....

 

[BankTeller]

Might as well have said he’s doubtful like last game, but this story just make it laughable lol.

 

[Strenuus]

DNP - Ice, Ice Baby.

 

[Whyachi]

Coach going big. Starters tonight:
Reath
Grant
Walker
Simons
and a Blazer not named Scoot

 

[Whyachi]

Tone on the radio, i wonder if Holton got trapped in the ice too?

 

[MickZagger]

Tone on the radio, i wonder if Holton got trapped in the ice too?

I think Hurd is

 

[Chris Craig]

Tone on the radio, i wonder if Holton got trapped in the ice too?

Or got tired of watching

 

[Chris Craig]

They should have Blaze and Squatch fight to the death

 

[B-Roy]

Did Scoot get benched

 

[KingSpeed]

Why isn’t Scoot playing?

 

[B-Roy]

Both scoot and Toumani got benched?

 

[KingSpeed]

I think Hurd is

Hurd was out sick last game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why hasn’t Casey addressed Scoot and Toumani not starting?

 

[Chris Craig]

Did Scoot get benched

Yep

 

[Chris Craig]

Why isn’t Scoot playing?

Benched

 

[Chris Craig]

Why isn’t Scoot playing?

He will

 

[Chris Craig]

Both scoot and Toumani got benched?

Yep

 

[Chris Craig]

Hurd was out sick last game.

And this game

 

[Chris Craig]

Why hasn’t Casey addressed Scoot and Toumani not starting?

Chauncey is trying something new

 

[BigGameDamian]

He couldn’t call an Uber?

 

[Whyachi]

Did Scoot get benched

Why isn’t Scoot playing?

they told us Billups wanted to go with the "winning lineup" that beat Brooklyn last game. (ignoring Sharpe's perfomance)

 

[Chris Craig]

He couldn’t call an Uber?

Or get HCP out there to get him

 

[beast blazer]

Ayton hasn't played since before Christmas, I have no idea what even happened to him.
