[DUB]

Trail Blazers with a 3 point lead at 3/4 time....

....somehow.

It's cause of Crawford playing (successfully) hero ball.

Boy, it's been awhile since we've seen hero ball. I miss Roy...

 

[BBert]

Like it's Nic's fault. Fuck you Nate.

Nate's feeling the pressure. Finally.

Since Crawford told the team no more 'f-ing' around in timeout, the Blazers went on a 22-10 run

 

[Darkwebs]

Crawford must've put on his cape

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm glad Crawford at least is capable of stepping up, but this thing mostly just works against the bottom feeders like Charlotte and this god-awful Hornets team. Thankfully we've got the Wiz-hards coming up soon too.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I guess I spoke a little too soon?

Yep, good call.

I miss a healthy Roy. The broken version we were left with, I'm glad to see the back of.

That sounds way harsher than I intended.

 

[B-Roy]

Ghost of Roy's knees possessing Crawford. Good god that was not an offensive foul. Guy was in the restricted area.

 

[DUB]

Is it technically an airball if you clip the bottom of the net?

 

[MickZagger]

This jump shooting shit is fucking so annoying.

 

[DUB]

Great block by Wallace!

 

[MickZagger]

I was assured we'd win this game by 10. It better happen.

 

[B-Roy]

LMAO, anyone hear the arena blaring Homer's "D'OH!" after Failton airballs a jumper? Sums up my thoughts everytime he shoots.

 

[DUB]

No foul there on Ariza, bad call by the refs.

 

[MickZagger]

This game is too close. We don't win close games.

 

[B-Roy]

What exactly does Wesley do?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What exactly does Wesley do?

Collect coats for the poor.

 

[DUB]

In previous games we have gone to LA early (especially in the 1st), and gone away from him late.

This game seems to be the opposite. We stayed away from him early, and are now looking for him late.

I wonder if this was a plan, or it has just worked out his way?

 

[magnifier661]

Haha

 

[RR7]

wtf was that just a commercial for?

 

[magnifier661]

Aren't we 2-9 in games decided by 5 points or less?

 

[DUB]

What exactly does Wesley do?

Seems better when he's just shooting, instead of putting it on the floor, and driving.

Both he, and Nic have been dribble driving a lot lately.

I wonder if this is a directive from N8?

 

[magnifier661]

Batum misses free throws?

 

[B-Roy]

NICO!

 

[magnifier661]

Phew thank god

 

[B-Roy]

Nic has 5 steals!

 

[magnifier661]

I can't believe I'm nervous playing Nola!

Yeah. I'm sure that's the reason.

That's my point. He doesn't do anything aside from shooting. When they take away his shot he's useless on the floor. Yet he still plays 30+ minutes....makes no sense.
