Magic G Jameer Nelson (knee) will not play tonight

 

[Strenuus]

Orlando has lost 9 in a row.... I'm not confident. lol.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Terry Stotts says LaMarcus Aldridge (back contusion) will not play tonight vs the Magic.

 

[maxiep]

I wonder if O'Quinn will bring the Luck o' the Irish with him tonight?

 

[Strenuus]

I wonder if O'Quinn will bring the Luck o' the Irish with him tonight?

Probably.... this is a Portland defense, after all.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is as close to a must win as you can get without it literally being a must win. Lose a game tonight and that last game against the Clippers could be for the playoffs. Gotta build up a cushion so it doesn't come to that. GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Sounds like a neutral site CBI tournament game. lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

MB says Aldridge hopeful for Thursday in Atlanta. That's good news.

 

[Strenuus]

Here we go.

 

[Strenuus]

MB says Aldridge hopeful for Thursday in Atlanta. That's good news.

They also said 2 games... lol. I'll believe it when he's actually out there.

 

[Strenuus]

Beautiful pass by Batum... god damn that's so frustrating.

 

[KingSpeed]

So far so bad

 

[Strenuus]

3 straight turnovers. Good work!

 

[Strenuus]

So far so bad

It's comical at this point.

 

[KingSpeed]

They also said 2 games... lol. I'll believe it when he's actually out there.

They said at least two games and then there would be an evaluation. That is what happened.

 

[Darkwebs]

Here we go.

More like, here we go again. Another slow start out of the gate.

 

[KingSpeed]

They're not taking this seriously....

 

[Strenuus]

This is just stupid.

 

[Darkwebs]

Early timeout by Stotts. Great idea. Our guys don't look ready

 

[Strenuus]

They said at least two games and then there would be an evaluation. That is what happened.

Fair enough.

 

[VenomXL]

This fucking team man...

 

[KingSpeed]

Playoffs slipping away

 

[-Ace-]

Maybe we'll hit 20+ threes tonight. That would be some real.......




































magic.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

This is so depressing. I might have to start cutting.

 

[KingSpeed]

They really need Aldridge. The other guys can only handle the pressure for so long. They all play better with Aldridge on the floor.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is so depressing. I might have to start cutting.

Hang in there

 

[Strenuus]

Playoffs slipping away

We're getting (finally) to the part of the season where I can start seeing this as a realistic situation.

 

[Darkwebs]

How come Wright passed up the open 3?

 

[KingSpeed]

We're getting (finally) to the part of the season where I can start seeing this as a realistic situation.

Win those games earlier and we wouldn't be in this situation.
