Blazers' GAME NOTES (PDF)
​

GO BLAZERS!

 

[THE HCP]

Tex-Mex down........ bring on The Beard and The Chinaman.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

That's a pretty shitty lineup for the skills challenge in comparison to previous years.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Yeah, Darkwebs!

 

[illmatic99]

This is probably the first must win of the season. Getting a tiebreaker vs HOU will be huge.

 

[magnifier661]

We must win this game! I have a feeling we come out on fire and try to put them away quickly.

 

[magnifier661]

A win tonight will put us at 8th place

 

[THE HCP]

I have a feeling Houston comes out big and Harden has 35, but we rumble, bumble and stumble our way to a much needed W.

 

[tlongII]

We'll lose unfortunately. I think we only get one win on this road trip.

 

[magnifier661]

We'll lose unfortunately. I think we only get one win on this road trip.

Debbie downer!

 

[drexlersdad]

houston has been smoking fools by 40+, blazers need to cool their asses down!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The Beard? There's only one "The Beard".

Brian Wilson.

 

[THE HCP]

Nic is wearing this new black strap thing on his wrist and has shot more warmup shots then I've seen him shoot in weeks. Even dunking in warmups. Maybe this will help.

 

[EGame]

Lillard for 76

 

[magnifier661]

Fear the beard!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Our D fell asleep to start the game, Hickson specifically

 

[magnifier661]

Good sign with Matthews hitting

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman For you shoes nerd Lillard, Batum and Smith wil be wearing some wild aqua/gold adidas kicks in honor of the Chinese New Year.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow two bad defensive plays by hickson

 

[Darkwebs]

Asik is a rebounding machine

 

[EGame]

Hickson looks like he could care less.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice pick and roll between Dame and JJ for the lay up

 

[EGame]

They areo n fire.

 

[EGame]

Dame!

 

[Darkwebs]

JJ actually passed it out after an O board! Lillard cans the 3.

 

[pinwheelempire]

I like how it it seems Lillard is getting it going earlier these past few games

 

[magnifier661]

Looking food so far

 

[EGame]

Nice drive by Lillard, didn't make it though. Good follow up by Hickson

 

[EGame]

I know Batum's wrist is bothering him, but him not even attempting to shoot makes it seem like we are playing 4 on 5
