[BassPlaya]

....I'm magically indifferent!"

 

[BlazerBeav]

I haven't been watching, and this game will certainly not change that decision...

 

[Whyachi]

soo that's where Blazer fans are getting their extra dose of excitement.

.... cheaters

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Looks like Boston has clinched best record so don't have much incentive to win?

 

[BigGameDamian]

I just don’t really get that excited about the Blazers games this season.

 

[Cugel]

Can't shoot much worse. Got that going for them.

 

[BBert]

Scoot has been really good at setting up his guys in the first quarter.

 

[MickZagger]

Blazer broadcasting sure is hyping up the Billups hall of fame announcement. Going on a couple games now.

Slow news day I guess.

great achievement no doubt. But it’s getting talked about way too much. Perhaps Detroit should be hyping it more?

Hard to be critical of a hof’er ?

 

[Cugel]

Rion >>> Murray

 

[Whyachi]

Celtics b2b2b triples

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers 10 O-boards !

 

[MickZagger]

It’s cool and a great achievement that should be noted. It’s a Detroit achievement though and doesn’t need to be continuously talked about.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Blazers 10 O-boards !

We're "scrappy".

 

[Whyachi]

drop coverage stopped working
Boston up 9, Billups call timeout

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers lead Orebs 12 to 1

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Boston broadcast team on Banton: "We might have given up on him too early".

 

[Whyachi]

Banton 10 pts in 11m

 

[Whyachi]

Min3ya !!

 

[Whyachi]

Boston radio guys getting pissed about Blazer rebounding

 

[BBert]

Minaya is reminding me of Thybule, his defensive stance, posture, movements, footwork, his hands, chasing the ball, all of it.

 

[BBert]

It's like a mirror image.

 

[Whyachi]

Celtics suck w/out Tatum
lol

 

[blazerfan11]

SpaceX launch about to happen if anyone's interested.

T - about 24 minutes.

 

[Cugel]

I was just lurking in a celts forum and some fans were wondering how Banton transformed.

 

[Whyachi]

SpaceX launch about to happen if anyone's interested.

T - about 24 minutes.
