[Chris Craig]

Going to be tough

 

[ant]

I’m so excited, jumping on the train in a bit and headed into Boston for the game. Bummer that so many Celtics are out tonight, it’s going to be their B squad. Put me on camera @THE HCP!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This has been a brutal road trip; I was expecting to see us at home by now.

4-1 so far

Not too shabby

 

[THE HCP]

Grant out

If you’re wearing Blazers gear I can try to find ya FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

Tatum out

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Tatum out

Is it just me, or do we always play teams with their best player out? >_>

 

[BigGameDamian]

#BAM! The OG posters get this! Well done FAMS!

 

[BlazerBeav]

No Tatum, Porzingis or Holiday - we can win this!

 

[blazerkor]

No Tatum, Porzingis or Holiday - we can win this!

It would still be an impressive win but yeah we can and if we want to make a run at the play-ins we need to.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Seeing Shae take Jaylen Brown off the dribble in iso gets me giddy.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Fantastic defense by Scoot on Pritchard, but sometimes people just hit tough shots.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Have to expect it, I guess, but this myriad of 3s from Pritchard and White just irritates me.

 

[crandc]

Good start to quarter but not good end.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Murray playing point guard on the break!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This Murray-Walker-Reath front line is not it.

 

[Natebishop3]

This Murray-Walker-Reath front line is not it.

Our depth has really taken a hit.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

2 three's from Walker?!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Sharpe grabbing steals taking charges like Camara!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Loving this Deni/DC 2-man game on offense. But we gotta put someone else on White on the other end.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Pritchard killing his home town team

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Pritchard and White are superstars tonight.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Pritchard and White are superstars tonight.

good

 

[illmatic99]

Clingan has 0 utility against this 5 out lineup.

Wonder how long it will take Chauncey to realize this.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Guys look tired already

 

[blazerkor]

Started off strong and just let things get out of control down the stretch of that first half. We'll see if we can come out reenergized and ready to make up for those last 5 or 6 minutes.

 

[wizenheimer]

at this rate, the two teams will combine for 98 three points shots. I wonder what the NBA record is. Yeah, I'm just not in love with the 'new' NBA

how did Chauncey leave Scoot in the game with 3 fouls?

Boston is another team making a point to hunt Simons and make him defend
