[Chris Craig]

Always so weird seeing Dame on the other side.

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant out again. Bout to get traded?

 

[illmatic99]

So is Calabro fired?

 

[Blazinaway]

Grant out again. Bout to get traded?

one can only hope

 

[MickZagger]

Grant out again. Bout to get traded?

please lawd!

 

[Quatro44]

So is Calabro fired?

I think they said during last game he is on a break and would miss this road trip.

 

[Chris Craig]

Not a bad start

 

[MickZagger]

I think they said during last game he is on a break and would miss this road trip.

He’s low key suspended for being critical of the Blazers. So his punishment is to miss and handful of games and conduct a corny interview with Cronin

 

[HailBlazers]

Scoots passing is unreal

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot is looking active. I want a Scoot/Sharpe backcourt to start and play 40 minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

Ayton may actually be my least favorite Blazer ever

 

[julius]

Ayton may actually be my least favorite Blazer ever

Unless you've been a fan for a week and a half, and as long as Derek Anderson, Ruben Patterson and Raymond Felton are still former Blazers, there is no way on this or any other planet that someone can pick DA over those 3. And that's just 3 off the top of my head.

 

[Cugel]

yeah not a bad start.

 

[KingSpeed]

I don’t remember hating Derek Anderson. Did I block it out? Also, regardless of his personal issues, I loved watching Ruben Patterson play.

 

[B-Roy]

Felton is a good call. Either way he’s top 5.

 

[HailBlazers]

Damn I miss Dame

 

[PCmor7]

Scoot doing some good things again.

Kris Murray plays with the intensity of a soggy blanket.

 

[Chris Craig]

There is fight in the dog tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

I think they said during last game he is on a break and would miss this road trip.

I see. Thank you.

 

[MickZagger]

Nick Van Exel?

 

[KingSpeed]

Edwards might get 60 tonight but his team is losing big.

 

[Blazinaway]

Scoot would easily have 2 or 3 more assists if guys could make easy shots or catches

 

[KingSpeed]

Nick Van Exel?

What did Nick do that was so bad? He and Dame would each throw up 6-8 threes. The original splash brothers?

 

[MickZagger]

What did Nick do that was so bad? He and Dame would each throw up 6-8 threes. The original splash brothers?

They never played together.

I didn’t like Van Exel because by the time he was a Blazer he was washed up, but acted like he was still in his prime taking ill advised shots constantly.

 

[B-Roy]

Clingan is the Giannis stopper

 

[KingSpeed]

Teams are so dumb. Ant on the floor, Bucks 5 on 4 and they just chuck a 3.

 

[Chris Craig]

Refs refusing to call fouls on the bucks

 

[KingSpeed]

Clingan is the Giannis stopper

Love that! Wemby like.

 

[Cugel]

Scoot would easily have 2 or 3 more assists if guys could make easy shots or catches

He has made some great passes and wide open shots blown! Hurts.
