[Chris Craig]

Will this one sell out too?

 

[inconceivable]

Will this one sell out too?

I'm curious too. My guess would be no and attendance will normalize as we rack up the losses and so ticket prices should drop

Wow, look who's driving! Carmelo!

 

[Chris Craig]

The ladies are trying

 

[Chris Craig]

Fire first in lowest turnovers in the league after Game 1.

 

[Chris Craig]

Back within 2!

 

[Chris Craig]

Had the lead, still fighting.

 

[Chris Craig]

Not call on that foul shooting that three hurt.

 

[Chris Craig]

Back within 7 at the half. Not too shabby.

 

[THE HCP]

This team hustles man! They got that Toumani FIRE on the defensive end!

 

[Chris Craig]

The lead!

 

[Chris Craig]

This team hustles man! They got that Toumani FIRE on the defensive end!

It's fantastic. This team is a lot of fun to watch.

 

[crandc]

Portland takes the lead!

 

[Chris Craig]

Leite injured. Damn.

 

[Chris Craig]

Leite back!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Smalls going off!

 

[julius]

Gotta get over that hill.

 

[Chris Craig]

This is intense!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Please tell me I’m the first one to come up with “Leite the Fire”…

Carla Leite my favorite player

Carla Leite my favorite player

Wears 0

Lady Dame!

 

[julius]

Wears 0

Lady Dame!

I was a little disappointed when they said that she wore #0 because of Westbrook...

 

[julius]

That was a bit of a flop by Barker.

 

[julius]

Man, the Fire haven't won a game in 24 years! That's a helluva bad streak!

 

[julius]

That was a bit of a flop by Barker.

Woah, didn't expect it to be overturned.

 

[riverman]

These ladies are money at the free throw line!

 

[julius]

That was a weird sequence. No call on the Fire, and then when the Liberty player fell to the ground, they didn't swarm her.

 

[TYDame]

it’s the Leite Show
