This should be interesting

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I’m rooting for the Hornets in the east. They e been so bad for so long. That being said, I hope we get revenge on them tonight.

Well, no traveling or early start, so less excuses out of the gate.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I love when we're evenly matched with a team and playing at home. Really looking forward to tonight!

 

[THE HCP]

I’ll use the less talent excuse.

Uhhhhhhhh………

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This should be interesting

Yes, if Deni is playing.

Was reading about Patty C.'s real estate empire last night. He took his signing bonus from Baltimore Orioles of something like 400k and turned it into 500 million in property and assets over the course of his basketball career. Bright guy! He's got some property investments with CJ McCollum in Portland as well as several other teammates over the years.

He is killing it in that world. Tons of projects constantly going on. And married a NWSL player to boot!

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Hate to say it but wouldn't we benefit losing this game? This would keep us in current lottery position without really hurting us in play in spot

 

[BassPlaya]

Man I love game night. Let's get to it!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Hate to say it but wouldn't we benefit losing this game? This would keep us in current lottery position without really hurting us in play in spot

Would that classify tanking?

 

[Domihatin]

I’ll use the less talent excuse.

Go work for the Hornets, then?

 

[kjironman1]

This is a team that wants to lose to the Blazers to get a better chance at a pick.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Charlotte has only won 7 of 35 games here in Rip City.

 

[Jelloman]

Hate to say it but wouldn't we benefit losing this game? This would keep us in current lottery position without really hurting us in play in spot

No, because 8th seed is up for grab. And 8th is way better than 10th.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I think there is a perfectly fine chance we lose while playing our hardest so I wouldn’t worry about tanking tonight.

 

[THE HCP]

Go work for the Hornets, then?

Once again, you are the ONLY person on here who constantly brings up WHO I work for. WHY?

 

[Chris Craig]

Hate to say it but wouldn't we benefit losing this game? This would keep us in current lottery position without really hurting us in play in spot

Yeah, let's just stop trying.

lol didn’t say to lose purpose

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is a team that wants to lose to the Blazers to get a better chance at a pick.

I'm not sure. They are 7-3 in their last 10.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Am I still in the right thread? Where is everyone? C'mon, we are doing great!

 

[blazerkor]

Nice start to the game. A lot of effort paying off out there. We look much better on defense but a lot of that is because we're making our shots on O which allows us to get set on D.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why would he challenge? hits him twice.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why would he challenge? hits him twice.

Wow! Guess that's why I am not a ref.

 

[Chris Craig]

Relaxing game

 

[THE HCP]

How is Scoot doing?

 

[twobullz]

Seems like the blazers dribble it off feet a lot. Why is it?

 

[blazerkor]

We really had it going there for a while.

I hope we see the effort we did at the beginning of the game for the entire second half.
