after last nights game lets hope we "play to the level" of our competition, if we don't it will get ugly

Fantastic!

I'll never forget the night I was at the game when we beat the Jordan Bulls in Chicago in 1998. I was so excited, I bought tickets to see the Blazers play in Indy that Friday night. We experienced one of the worst ass rapings of all-time. The score was 124-59. It was a long drive back to Chi-town.

Let's hope we play like we did against the Bulls and not the way we played that night.

 

[Strenuus]

Glad we won in NYC, because this one is most likely going to get ugly for us. Having a hard time scoring against porous defenses, now we go up against one of the best on their court. If we can pull a win from this.....

 

[maxiep]

Best offense vs. best defense. Well, I guess that makes us the Broncos...

 

[BigGameDamian]

Not sure how to make a picture larger but I think Paul should be in the game threads also.

Brutal. I was there last year too. It looked like we would pull one out until the fourth quarter when Indy just put its foot down. Dame's first half was amazing though so it made it definitely worthwhile.

 

[santeesioux]

After playing like ass in NY, this team will probably turn around and have a convincing win against the Pacers, lol. Hasn't PG been kind of in a slump too since the pregnancy rumors came out?

 

[THE HCP]

I bet Stevenson won't play!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Rumor has it Aldridge bought George some diapers, a paci, and some ky jelly to lube his ass before this girl bends him over for 25mil

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Hibbert wearing a cup?

[Strenuus]

Looks like you get out of there before (more) snow comes.... then you go to Minny. lol.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Went to the game last year and thought about seeing this one plus the Minnesota contest. Even with the snow we got I am glad to be in warmer weather.

 

[dreamcloud]

Lillard time

 

[Strenuus]

Lillard time

Well played!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Stephenson officially out per Vogel.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Williams out indefinitely following death of his sister. Our bench is really limited now.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh wow. Sending my best to him and his family.

 

[illmatic99]

Oh man, condolences to Mo.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Best offense vs. best defense. Well, I guess that makes us the Broncos...

I expect to lose by about the same margin, too.

 

[santeesioux]

I had seen that his sister was in the hospital. If this is the reason why he hasn't been playing well, i feel like a dick for saying some of the stuff i said about him, rip.

 

[Strenuus]

I expect to lose by about the same margin, too.

Now with a shorter and much less offense off the bench, it could be much worse.

Agreed

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mo's sister didn't die, she is very ill. Chris Haynes got it wrong.

Wow....

 

[maxiep]

Time for McCollum to step up. He'll get big minutes tonight.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Now with a shorter and much less offense off the bench, it could be much worse.

Well, Indy is without Almost All-Star Lance Stephenson...
