Blazers vs Nuggets Game Thread........ 2/29/12

[THE HCP]

Safely at our hotel here in Denver............ Scariest flight I have ever been on!!!!!! Flown quite a bit in the past 9 years, but that was by far the worst ever!!!! Sit right next to Rice on the plane, thought he was going to throw up right on me! Had one coming back from LA about 3 years ago that was close, but this one was bad. Glad to be on the ground and hopefully we take Greyhound home! Guys just went to practice for your info...... good to see the Ghostface Killa' Joel Przybilla back! The HCP is off to go shoot some hoops at the gym here at the hotel, then get some Subway. Miss you guys, take care!-HCP

 

[Eastoff]

Aww he misses us.

 

[blue32]

What was with the flight? A couple of the guys were talking about it on Twitter. Was it just bumpy as hell?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Your wife says "hi". We were really worried.

 

[THE HCP]

Bouncing all over the place!! Wings looked like they were made out of rubber!

 

[Eastoff]

That's the fucking Denver airport for you man! I flew in and out of their once. I hated it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Glad the team got in safe. Tomorrow's game is HUGE. A loss isn't terrible but a win is really GREAT. Clinches the season series against Denver. If we lose we'll have another chance to win the series but winning it tomorrow would be wonderful. It'll be tough though. Denver will be rested and at home.

Why would the team care if your safe and just what kind of games do you want to play with them tomorrow?

 

[THE HCP]

^HAHAHA!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

How is playing ball in that thin air?

 

[THE HCP]

I AM DEAD! Played some half court here a couple years ago, but this was a full court run for about an hour. The HCP was looking for the oxygen mask about 10 minutes in. Team trainer walked by during the second game and yelled he is not responsible for any injury or lung damage that occurs...... said I was on my own! I will tell you my dimes looked twice as smooth a mile high though!

 

[Brock]

ought oh.... check this video on denver airport

 

[Wheels]

I have seen that video before but am not sure where. Is that something you have posted before Presidente?

 

[THE HCP]

We drove right by that blue devil horse with the red eyes today! Creepy!

 

[THE HCP]

!!!!

My worst flight was landing in Mexico City. Besides being the most F'd up airport on earth, circling the city, which is circled by mountains, was like a freaking carnival ride. I'll never catch a connecting flight there, ever again. Denver can be pretty nasty though, tried to take off from there once, they had to de-ice the plane like three times. I did not feel safe. I hate flying.

Glad you're OK, THE.

Meant to type got IN safe. And it's perfectly fine to refer to your team as WE. If the Blazers won the title, would you cheer "We're #1!" or "They're #1!". It's always we.

I knew what you meant, I was just having some fun with your typo.

You wouldn't be the first guy!

And Rudy will be playing.

 

[RR7]

No Nene, No Gallinari, no Rudy. Still, we always struggle in Denver.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

According to Rice... Joel will NOT be placed on the active roster today.

 

[Mediocre Man]

This game should be a slaughter fest for Portland. I don't care where it is being played. With the guys out for Denver, they are nothing more than a D league team. Should be an easy double digit win

That's what scares me. The Wizards at home should have been an easy win also!

 

[Brock]

this is a must win with those guys out...


no excuses.... get season series and lil distance with miami on deck. also rest our players with big lead for heat game.


only thing to remember... this denver team took okc team to overtime in okc with same group

 

[BBert]

Blazers will be dead tomorrow after playing in Denver tonight. Hope the weather clears up for the flight out of there.

 

[Brock]

its bad in denver weather wise?

Trail Blazers PR ‏ @TrailBlazersPR In its last Leap Day game, 2/29/08, Portland beat the Lakers, 119-111, behind 22 Aldridge points and 12 Przybilla boards (both team highs).

Check out https://account.nba.com/leaguepass/broadband/ even if you're in PDX. Blackout restrictions seem suspect.

Joe Freeman ‏ @BlazerFreeman Your pessimistic stat of the night: #Blazers have lost 6 in a row and 15 of their last 16 in Denver.
