[Chris Craig]

Going to be a tough game.

 

[HailBlazers]

Going to be a tough game.

Tanks back on.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So we play tonight and Wednesday both in Denver, then its the allstar break for 8 days.

We do have a Cha/Uth/Wsh/Brk stretch right after the opening LAL game post allstar break. So if we do make another run that would probably be the best stretch to get it going.

A win tonight or Wednesday and I certainly would expect the team to continue the playin push. We lost both and the tanking talk will get louder from fans and maybe internally with the Blazers as well.

So there will be 27 games after the allstar break. Its nearly exactly 2/3rd of the way through the season.

 

[THE HCP]

A bit surprised last game thread I think I saw about 5 posts from people on here about how we should have won the game pretty easily because of who was out. See this is what happen when you go on a win streak huh? I can understand WANTING to win, but EXPECTING with this roster is just dangerous. Sorry but I believe we get MOPPED these next two games in spite of how tough it is to beat a team back to back. This place is hard to get a W at.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Tanks back on.

I was straddling the fence for awhile but some reason I am now back 100% in tank mode.

If we win 10 of 11 and instead of people wanting to fire your boy Billups they want to praise him then higher expectations of a win are just what comes with those recent results.

 

[HailBlazers]

Yeah I knew our home hotness would not extend to the road.

 

[Strenuus]

Never waver. Never surrender!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah I knew our home hotness would not extend to the road.

We actually swept our last road trip.

 

[KingSpeed]

RW3, Jerami, Murray are out. Scoot is starting.

 

[blazerkor]

Deandre and Deni the two DAs starting the game off with a possession of hot potato.

 

[blazerkor]

This game is starting out...

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers not even trying

 

[Natebishop3]

We just spent 20 seconds trying to force the ball to Simons for a bad shot.

Nice job Chauncey.

 

[Chris Craig]

 

[Natebishop3]

Sure seems like we aren’t doing any of the things that got us that streak. Which is great if you’re in favor of tanking.

 

[Natebishop3]

Simons sits and the ball starts moving.

 

[Natebishop3]

It has become abundantly clear that there are guys who play team ball and guys who do not.

Simons and Grant do not.

 

[Natebishop3]

That’s just obscene. How does he hit that shot.

 

[KingSpeed]

What a 3 by Jokic

11/11??

 

[Chris Craig]

Disgraceful

 

[Chris Craig]

That’s just obscene. How does he hit that shot.

Because he's playing us

 

[illmatic99]

if they're gonna hit nonsense like that, might as well just call it a night

 

[SharpesTriumph]

When has the best player in the NBA been this dominant over the second best?

I don't think LeBron ever was this dominant.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

So why has Calabrao been out these games?

 

[KingSpeed]

He makes that too?!?

 

[illmatic99]

our drtg is about to very quickly regress back to the mean this quarter alone

 

[blazerfan11]

Simons is throwing some horrible passes.

 

[Cugel]

And to think DEN ownership won’t even pay to keep KCP.
