[Chris Craig]

Should be fun

 

[kjironman1]

Most likely the only game I'll make it to this year. Can't say I don't miss March and April NBA games.

 

[kjironman1]

Pretty excited to watch Chet.

 

[Whyachi]

OKC cheats so bad, they got our Coach kicked out of the last game.

Timeout-Gate must be revenged

 

[Whyachi]

the casinos gave OKC a 14 point spread

haters gonna hate

 

[maxiep]

Our injured list would kick the s*** out of actual starters for this game.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Our injured list would kick the s*** out of actual starters for this game.

Even when they are injured!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Good start to the evening -

 

[42N8Bounce]

Go Blazers!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That was quite a heady play by Murray.

 

[Cugel]

No one can shoot

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Murray has got to the hoop three times already, but not a smart push on defense.

 

[Whyachi]

Kris Murray will lead the league in scoring in 2028

 

[Whyachi]

oh no, Bismack Biyombo fainted

 

[Whyachi]

Bismack up and OK, that's always scary. Drink some gatorade young man

 

[riverman]

I have a good feeling about Kris Murray. I like his game

 

[Whyachi]

Rupert clotheslined SGA

that's good dirty Blazer ball

 

[Cugel]

Rup had all ball. Lots of players woulda got the jump ball call there.

Rayan nearly took SGA's head off. This team plays mean. I like it

 

[Whyachi]

Jabari deer in headlights defensive moment

 

[Whyachi]

whoops, Matisse passed it to Coach Billups

 

[Whyachi]

Chet looks extra tall facing no Blazer Centers

 

[Whyachi]

Thunder up 12, Coach Billups calls timeout. He might have to put in someone taller then 6'7".

 

[Whyachi]

Kris hit a HORSE shot.
Nice job rookie

 

[Whyachi]

now you see Tisse, now you don't

And-1

 

[riverman]

Good to see Thybulle and Murray hitting 3s

 

[julius]

Good start to the evening -

View attachment 63581

damn, at first I thought that guy was super tall, but then I see that Bobby is sitting.

 

[kjironman1]

Good to see Thybulle and Murray hitting 3s

Murray hit 10-12 straight in warm ups. He was pretty automatic.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers shooting good, they just forget to guard the opponent sometimes
