Blazers @ Hornets Game Thread

I said it earlier this thread: let's tank this year

 

[VenomXL]

This unit is playing hard. I wish we would have tried like this to start the game.

I said it earlier this thread: let's tank this year

Probably not going to be a very good draft this year since a lot of players are staying in for 1 more year because of the threat of a lockout, no reason to try and tank this year to get a really good player, next year would be the year.

I'm honestly in agreement with this, would be better than getting killed by the Lakers.

 

[VenomXL]

No playoffs? Let's tank? Come on dudes, it's not that bad.

 

[julius]

This team really needs a comeback win against a really good team, without Roy leading the charge.

But then there's this...

 

[VenomXL]

Bleh, this damn LeBron commercial...

 

[KingSpeed]

I just don't get how guys in their early 20's can already be exhausted. If they're tired now, they won't be able to handle a playoff series.

They didn't get in till 3am last night. There are no back to backs in a playoff series.

Horrible

They're in their 20's. Try working real jobs.

 

[Darkwebs]

Make up call. Lol

 

[MARIS61]

Willie Green has always been a gunslinger.

 

[Rhal]

Screw this team i'm gonna go back and watch the 2008 season, everytime we play a team i'll just play an old recording of us playing the team that year.

Just jking, very disappointing night but we got a whole lot of more games to play so far, so i'll try and keep hope alive!

 

[VenomXL]

Dagger.

The turnover that is.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hornets are good.

 

[VenomXL]

Congrats to Monty and the Hornets. Hell of a start.

 

[KingSpeed]

real jobs in which your knees, legs, etc are crucial to the work? They're trying but when you're body doesn't work, it doesn't work. It needs rest.

 

[santeesioux]

That Hornets pick we got is going to be really shitty.

 

[Rhal]

Hornets are good.

I'm not to impressed with them, there destroying a beaten and bloody team with no life in them. I think there gonna have a lot of trouble in the middle of the year and will eventually pick up a 5-8 seed, which is good but i think they'll be 1 and done.

 

[KingSpeed]

And two of our key players are in their 30s by the way. What real jobs were you referring to?

 

[Natebishop3]

That draft pick sure is lookin good right about now lol

sadly, that seems to be more impressive than Portland will be.

I work a job like that, and when you go in and give it your all for even 4+ hours you feel it bad the next day.

They beat the Heat. They're the only team that has beaten the Spurs. They beat Denver. Beat Milwaukee twice. They're for real. They had the 2 seed three seasons ago. This team is deeper.

doctors, nurses, health care workers and providers, teachers, construction workers, grocery workers, truck drivers, mechanics, architects....need I go on?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Please, we've played more games than anyone to this point - and not against chopped liver. This isn't exactly a set that you can extrapolate the whole season from.

 

[VenomXL]

OK, I'm out. Take care everyone, time to get some mental rest before the game against the Grizz. I'll have my fingers crossed for Roy.
