Start of another road trip

 

[Strenuus]

Literally had no idea Kevin love was still in the league at all.

 

[kjironman1]

They have Butler starting. This might be worth the price of admission.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Blazers currently slotted at the 7th pick, perhaps we can pickup some wins to get closer to 9th.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Literally had no idea Kevin love was still in the league at all.

Was actually just wondering about this like 3 days ago...

 

[jlprk]

Literally had no idea Kevin love was still in the league at all.

He's played in 17 of 41 games. He missed our game a few days ago, probably will now too. His hair is gray.

A player vs. teammates fight?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why?

 

[blazerfan11]

They have Butler starting. This might be worth the price of admission.

He's already played a game. 28 minutes in their 128-107 win over San Antonio.

 

[wizenheimer]

Why?

sarcasm

 

[illmatic99]

Spo game-planning against Scoot worries me.

 

[Cugel]

Spo game-planning against Scoot worries me.

Tonight is a big test for Scoot.

 

[THE HCP]

Scoot NOT starting

 

[Cugel]

Scoot NOT starting

Nooooooooooo

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot NOT starting

But Shaedon is? Since Toumani is out.

 

[THE HCP]

Hero out

 

[THE HCP]

But Shaedon is? Since Toumani is out.

According to CB 15 minutes ago, just sharing

 

[THE HCP]

But Shaedon is? Since Toumani is out.

I think since CB’s presser when he announced Scoot was coming off the bench, Tou came up sick.

 

[THE HCP]

And just like that, Scoot is back in the starting lineup

 

[Cugel]

And just like that, Scoot is back in the starting lineup

Thanks for showing cb my post

 

[Sheldon Shape]

They robbed Scoot. Should have been a goaltending call.

 

[Tince]

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not too far behind considering how well Miami is shooting.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Hating Shae's shot selection so far.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Banton looking better tonight than he has for awhile.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Hating Shae's shot selection so far.

2 for 5 on threes, can't be too bad....

 

[B-Roy]

2 for 5 on threes, can't be too bad....

The makes are nice, but they're mostly face-up pullups with no ball movement.

 

[RR7]

There to visit with good buddy Pat Riley I presume

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Will they ever call Deni "Little Giannis"?

 

[B-Roy]

I'm loving Scoots recognition defensively.
