[Chris Craig]

You think they are still mad at us about Dame?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Portland management finally listening to us; Moses Brown sent to the G-league!

 

[Whyachi]

I believe Toumani is a late scratch (Bruised ribs). We're at the point where Camara earned a roster spot, bench him for rebuild 2.0 next season.

 

[Blazinaway]

any word on Shaedon, isn't he now with the team and might he play

 

[TBpup]

Shaedon is with the ReMix until the end of this road trip from what I heard.

Rookie's getting evaluation court time. Exactly what should be happening right now.

 

[Whyachi]

Miami 14 point favorites. But we can still trash on the Heat after the blowout, if Jovic & Jaquez don't score double digits.

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton is starting! There's a legit proffesional Blazer on the court

 

[riverman]

Shaedon is with the ReMix until the end of this road trip from what I heard.

Rookie's getting evaluation court time. Exactly what should be happening right now.

I believe they recalled him today or yesteerday and he's with the team now but still no contact workouts...he only worked out with the Remix coaching staff and didn't play with the team I heard.

 

[Whyachi]

DA slam, Rupert break out dunk, Blazers up 5 early

 

[maxiep]

So happy we're not playing Dame tonight. F*** the M'eat.

 

[maxiep]

Starting Ayton is not in line with "Operation Lose Out".

 

[Whyachi]

Walker 2 early fouls

refs U suck

 

[Whyachi]

Rozier hit a pair of lucky shots, Heat up 5

 

[Cugel]

Oh don't worry POR will have no problem losing. Garbage passing. Nobody can catch. T/o after t/o.

 

[illmatic99]

Toumani's home town team where he apparently has a bunch of family visiting. And he has yet to get a second of PT.

Wtf Chauncey. Dude has been ballin too

 

[Whyachi]

Thybulle grabbed Bam by the shorts. I think he gets FT's after the TV timeout.

 

[Whyachi]

Oh don't worry POR will have no problem losing. Garbage passing. Nobody can catch. T/o after t/o.

If Scoot hits any body part, Nate told me it's a good pass that should have been caught. Feet, back, & shins included.

 

[illmatic99]

So.... Camara has to be hurt, right?

 

[Whyachi]

b2b Banton layups

 

[blazerkor]

So.... Camara has to be hurt, right?

Yeah he has a left rib contusion. Reportedly he really wanted to go but just couldn't.

 

[Whyachi]

clunk city, Blazers 1-11 from deep
Miami up 18

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Spurs whipping the Knicks. Blazers might close to one behind in the tankathon.

 

[Whyachi]

jumbo lunker Thomas Bryant just beat every Blazer down the court. Delete that for tomorrows film session

 

[Cugel]

Simply put nobody can shoot other than DA.

 

[Whyachi]

blocks, breaks, buckets, Heat up 27

 

[blazerkor]

We're getting smoked in this game. I like our losses to be more competitive than this.

Meanwhile Charlotte is losing against Golden State in what would have been the biggest win of the season for us.

 

[illmatic99]

This is rough.

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot tossed a lob to an invisible Blazer
Coach Billups needs timeout

 

[PCmor7]

WTH was that lob?
