Now this is how you tank.

We didnt need to. This is a shit team as is.

 

[B-Roy]

This is an incredible game

 

[HailBlazers]

1 for 18.

5%.

 

[Whyachi]

we got good looks, just couldn't get them to drop.... missing 15+ in a row, long jump shots no longer count as "good looks"

 

[jlprk]

This Charlotte guy is a screamer. I now like screamers. He says, "Charlotte has a big bulge right now." He says he's crazy over Thybulle. We already noticed. He's not used to Charlotte being up 42-28 or whatever it is.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Why is Blazers broadcasting turning Black History Month into a political platform? For example, the only reason I would specifically choose to shop at a black business would be for political reasons. Why are they telling me to shop at black businesses? I don't make decisions where to shop based on race. So I feel like they are pushing an agenda here and it's political and I don't appreciate it.

 

[riverman]

Thybulle has 4 steals and two blocks but we never convert his steals

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton getting a ton of run

 

[riverman]

Ayton is a really good pickup

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

1 for 18.

This is some first class tanking! Did we practice missing shots yesterday?

 

[riverman]

on pace to score a whopping 64 pts in this game

 

[MickZagger]

Simons 1-13. UghA

 

[MickZagger]

on pace to score a whopping 64 pts in this game

Under 70 pt games are a rarity these days. We might do it though

 

[HailBlazers]

Came to watch Miller. Think Ill go home now.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers 34 point half
26% FG, 5% 3pt

Blazers lead Orebs 12-1, because they literally can't hit any shots.

The Woman is Ashley Shamandahahahihihi. I didn't get it all, sorry to disappoint you, sounds like an Arab magician who lives in an oil lamp. She got her job because of her teeth. With shiny lipstick, she blinds us with her smiling teeth while she talks. She's interviewing rookie Miller, and rattles on and on, like each team's The Woman. Some people just rattle on and on and on, you know what I mean? I mean, whatever.

Charlotte doesn't yet have The Gay Stats Guy, but they're working on it. Adam Silver dictated the cookie-cutter broadcast format, but small markets may be a little behind.

 

[Predator]

We will be lucky to get a bag of potatoes for Ant in a trade. He does absolutely nothing if his shot isn’t falling

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This is the worst Blazer team I’ve seen since the Telfair days - only worse when you factor in the payroll.

Holy.

Shit.

 

[Whyachi]

We will be lucky to get a bag of potatoes for Ant in a trade. He does absolutely nothing if his shot isn’t falling

a bag of chips is still better then what Brogdan is apparently worth (0)

Now who else was the same exact way....

And how'd that work out....

 

[Whyachi]

Hornets layups and dunks.

Blazers floobady-flipper-froggy-froth

 

[Whyachi]

Camara's 2nd airball

is Keljin Blevins the shooting coach ?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Congrats to you all of you who didn’t pay to be here tonight. You all have much better judgment than me.

 

[Predator]

And how'd that work out....

I have no clue who you’re talking about. Monta Ellis?

 

[jlprk]

Bad news. We closed to within 10. I won't start yelling at the screen till it's single digits. At the team meeting, Billups told Simons to open shooting 1 for 15. Apparently Simons wanted to go 1 for 16 but he screwed up and made his 16th shot. Gotta try harder. Ayton is making Nic Richards look like he won't be cut after the season.

 

[Whyachi]

Deandre 22 & 13, keeping Portland from getting blown out.

 

[MickZagger]

Putting Hagans in there is a tank move.

 

[Whyachi]

if Simons doesn't make some shots, Blazers Uprise might cancel their podcast.

 

[42N8Bounce]

If the Blazers are gonna pull this one out, they’re going to have to hit at least 4 times as many three pointers in the 4th than they’ve hit in all of the first 3 quarters!

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers 5-36 while trailing entering the 4th quarter.
