[THE HCP]

Blazers @ HEAT?

EPIC FAIL CHRIS! EPIC FAIL!

@THE HCP never made mistakes like that when he made the game threads…..sigh.

 

[THE HCP]

Just packed for our upcoming road trip. FAMS! It’s gonna be COOOLLLDDD while we are back east. Always fun traveling in that type of weather. Gonna love the 1 hour delay to de-ice Monday night in Boston during a back to back. Get into our hotel at about 2:00am! Ouch!

 

[THE HCP]

Anytime you see…..”HISTORIC/DEVASTATING/MASSIVE” when they talk about snow and cold…… you never want to be a part of it FAMS! No site seeing this trip.

[THE HCP]

A foot of snow hitting Boson while we are there. Hope we even get to DC FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

SIGHTSEEING.

You’re one of THOSE huh?

 

[Jelloman]

You’re one of THOSE huh?

Yah, I like to go see what I am intereted instead of just any locations. But whatever floats your boat.

What hotel do you stay at? I’ve spent a lot of time in Boston. Usually stay at Copley Square.

Are Jeremy and Denny and Drew playing tonight?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Are Jeremy and Denny and Drew playing tonight?

I hate this so much

 

[Chris Craig]

Are Jeremy and Denny and Drew playing tonight?

Looks like it

@THE HCP someday I’d love to see a highlight reel of the best Blazers dunks of all time, to put Shae’s dunks in context (maybe to celebrate him getting to the dunk contest or something). And I’d love to have footage of James Robinson’s dunk over Patrick Ewing be in it, just so i can see it again.

Good memory FAMS! Hollywood’s dunk at MSG was crazy! I remember an Antonio Daniels dunk that was bananas and will always remember Jarydd Bayless dunk at Brooklyn! BRoy against the Clips and Thomas Robinson on the Sixers…..just a few off the top of the dome.

Don’t forget Dre’s dunk against… San Antonio? when he had that huge night.

[blazerkor]

Fun start.

 

[blazerfan11]

They reversed it to the correct call - Blazer ball.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I mean, I know I heard them say : the call is confirmed, Portland loses their challenge and has no more for the rest of the game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They reversed it to the correct call - Blazer ball.

I have never seen that, did the announcers say...did that come from NBA central?
