[Chris Craig]

We had one of our two worst losses of the season last time we met the Jazz.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

We had one of our two worst losses of the season last time we met the Jazz.

I heard a stat how the Jazz hadn't had a lead at any moment of the whole season by more than around 20 points - and then beat us by 40.

Super impressive that we've been able to construct a roster built around 3 starting vets earning over 90 million, yet we can still lose by so much to the worst teams in the league.

Curious what will happen tonight.

That's great. If we are tanking, this is a team we can pass on the way to the bottom. It won't be easy to lose though, we will need some special strategies.

 

[OR-84]

I just want a good game. I didn’t get to watch any of the games yesterday (which is fine, lovely time with family), but I get to watch today since it is my bday! So, I guess in a way I am saying…Let’s Go Blazers!!!!

 

[Shaboid]

RIP Chauncey's grandmother

 

[riverman]

Grant is due to have a monster game. Shot is overdue to fall for a lot of our guys...maybe tonight is the night!

Plan on a horrific loss and you’ll go to sleep content and happy.

Idk if Jerami is ever due. He just decides to play the right way every once in a blue moon. You can’t really time it tho

Or you could EXPECT a win and be pissed off all night.

You e ver consider recoding the games yearsterday. I do every Christmas and then when everybody is passed out, I knock the game out on the late night. Some fun action yesterday.

I’m actually watching them right now (ESPN+), starting with the Spurs and Knicks game.

Our roster can also beat top teams: Denver, Houston, Clippers, and Minnesota.

[Cugel]

I don’t take joy in Billups’ loss but will be interesting to see how the play changes. Should be a bit different.

 

[OR-84]

Happy Birthday

Thank you!

 

[OR-84]

Happy birthday!

Thanks! 40 and still feel clueless, but at least now I am old enough to know it.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I hear that! I just turned 44 a few months ago and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...

Sporting my Christmas present from my son tonight!

Oh yeah. That’s what Christmas is all about.

Anyone ever tell you that you look like a dollar store Mike Barrett ?

 

[42N8Bounce]

Anyone ever tell you that you look like a dollar store Mike Barrett ?

Ha! I’ll take that as a compliment. All that plastic surgery is paying off!

 

[riverman]

I like the energy Kris Murray brings off the bench.

 

[blazerkor]

Good first quarter but Lauri can get whatever he wants against our defense whenever he wants it. Dude could drop 50 tonight if he wants to.

 

[blazerkor]

Good ole Drewbanks putting in some work against us.

 

[illmatic99]

Yo this idiot coach is legit playing only vets. Wtf bro.

 

[illmatic99]

Minutes distribution and rotations are moronic. Who is this guy?

 

[julius]

Ha! I’ll take that as a compliment. All that plastic surgery is paying off!

and 15 lbs of pure muscle during the off season didn't hurt.

 

[blazerkor]

Scoot's three point shot is looking good lately.
