[Strenuus]

At this point, I can't say any game is a guaranteed win, and this would be the one I WOULD say that for...

 

[BBert]

The Blazers better play pissed off, because they should be pissed off. The Blazers have something to prove. They need to start proving it.

 

[Fun in the Sun]

What a terrible rotation. If we play angry we should win this easily.

 

[Strenuus]

Ramon Sessions is a perfect example of how dumb the LA fans and media are... remember how he did so well for a few games... now he's on the bench for the worst team in the league (Well, the one that's at least trying, at least.)

 

[blue32]

I'll be at tonight's game. Hoping to see a win! Go Blazers!

Root! Root!

When Looking at the picture of the court I'm noticing that it is already 2 toned.

 

[santeesioux]

I finally got a cable box so i might be able to watch this game if i'm not to lazy to set it up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'll be at the game tonight, sitting directly behind the Blazers bench, I plan on giving Stotts a few play and substitutions ideas I have.

Instead of yelling "OMAHA" just yell "Claver" over and over and over....

 

[riverman]

We're long overdue for a blow out win tonight yet somehow I know some guy on the Bucks I've never heard of will have a career night

Hi Blazers Community

Well i predict a easy win but the blazers are a closed package no one can say this a secure win ..

But look at the bench rotation on Milwaukee.. They Have John henson.. he is a guy.. that will be the blazers sign for a bigger bench. this guy playing amazing basketball.. he is young and have great future i think..

 

[DamianLillard#0]

holy wtf... 3 to for 6 points..

 

[DamianLillard#0]

4 to 8 points.. this is a joke..

 

[DamianLillard#0]

the blazers are not focused on this game this not a good sign

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I like this Gino kid. He has a Kevin Durant build. Wonder if he will ever come close to being as good.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

This thread is blowing up.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Energy. Thank You bench

Wonder if this was too much to ask for from the starters.
