Need to get this one.

 

[THE HCP]

Need to get this one.

What are you rooting for? Home game in the play in? Or a certain opponent?

Finishing the season at .500 or above

 

[THE HCP]

I just want THIS season’s draft pick….. next 2 years drafts can fuck off.

 

[crandc]

Not sure how much of this I can stay awake to watch. Got home from Seder after 10, by the time I got to bed it was 11 and awakened at 1:17 by earthquake. Magnitude, 4.6, epicenter 35 miles south. Out of bed at 4.
Tired
Go Blazers

 

[BassPlaya]

I want a win...cuz that what fans do...hope for a win.

 

[BassPlaya]

Bump!

 

[Domihatin]

Need to get this one.

Would seem a likely win, but then we have to think about what happened in New Orleans earlier in the season as well as games like @Washington and so on. Oh well! At least that makes this hopefully a fun to watch game with high stakes and not a boring blowout, right?

I really enjoyed conversations with you and everyone in the skybox. And Chris, thanks for having a username that is REMARKABLY easy to match up with your REAL name which makes putting face and name to a username possible for me!

Haha, I need a cheat sheet primer for some of the other guys at the skybox night so I can remember who is who! Here's what I know:

I know Sly, obviously.

Also, I know Ironman and Platypus and....what are the other usernames for the rest of the group? Like Kyle, for example; I forget his username!

I'm just trying to match my memory of faces and people I met with the online usernames.

@SlyPokerDog , that photo of all of us needs some overlaid text on it! Haha.

 

[TYDame]

Blazers please don’t mess this up and just WIN, we still can get to the 7th spot

Yeah, it was great talking with you and the other guys.

Yeah, I have the easy one.

Kyle is @HailBlazers

 

[PCmor7]

Oh, crap. We're wearing the airport carpet tonight.

 

[Everything Beagle]

That And-1 Leader graphic is great propaganda for Deni to get 1st All NBA. I think if we get into the playoffs, he has a real chance.

 

[Irish Trader]

My take Williamson has lost a lot of weight. Hardly recognized him on the court. My take end of season 41 wins we play the warriors. 42 wins end of the season we play Phoenix

 

[Chris Craig]

Refs are extra shitty tonight
