[Chris Craig]

Here we go again

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Curious to see how Deni, Sharpe, Clingan, Timelord play.

 

[THE HCP]

Not sure what the spread is, but we SHOULD get hammered. Let’s keep that in mind FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

Rob Williams questionable now.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Not sure what the spread is, but we SHOULD get hammered. Let’s keep that in mind FAMS!

Only 11.5 points.

Thunder are 18.5 at home over Wizards
Cavs 14.5 at home over Jazz
Knicks 13.5 at home over Raptors

So surprisingly 3 teams are bigger underdogs today.

 

[Samuel]

some of the bleakest games last year were against the mavs. that horribly officiated 1h of that road game at the top of that road trip from hell, and that home game where we couldn’t hit anything.

here’s hoping the bright spots are slightly brighter tonight.

 

[Blazinaway]

Rob Williams questionable now.

we can only hope trade coming vs another injury, yeah I know won't happen

 

[Strenuus]

It's sad when you don't know a game is happening until it's tipoff. #offtheradar

 

[MickZagger]

That facial by Camara was nice

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sharpe shooting nicely tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot did stuff!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not a bad quarter.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot and Sharpe have much better footwork when they don't have time to think

 

[Chris Craig]

Good to see Scoot hit that no hesitation. Just did what he needed to do. Cold blooded.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sharpe shooting nicely tonight.

Why has he only played 5 minutes?

 

[illmatic99]

Lukas ancestors felt that Clingan screen

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

legit screen by Clingan; what's Luka crying about?

 

[Chris Craig]

Ayton in an d any chance of staying close evaporates

 

[MickZagger]

Ayton has always been money from the elbow. He would’ve been perfect paired with Charles Oakley like 25 years ago

 

[illmatic99]

Jeramis shot selection is miserable

 

[blazerfan11]

Jeramis shot selection is miserable

That might explain why he is the worst two-point shooter on the team. Grant is shooting 40% on two pointers this season.

 

[B-Roy]

Jerami somehow playing 35 mins while Deni plays 20. Cool, cool cool

 

[MickZagger]

Luka is such a chump as much as he works the refs

 

[MickZagger]

If that was Doncic instead of Simons there would’ve been a foul.

 

[Cugel]

Luka is so deliberate in his play but impossible to stop

 

[blazerfan11]

Jerami somehow playing 35 mins while Deni plays 20. Cool, cool cool

Something very fishy going on there.
Or, Billups is a horrible coach.
Kind of hard to see he could be that bad, though.

 

[Phatguysrule]

legit screen by Clingan; what's Luka crying about?

That's what Luka does. Dirty, whiney flopping player. Talented, but blech.

 

[illmatic99]

Their showcase of Grant is not going well

 

[TheGoldRanger]

This would be a much closer game if the Blazers got some calls. It’s way too obvious the refs favor the Mavericks.
