After the lost to griz, this is a game the we should win. If we can win by a big perfomance it will be huge for our team. We can't even thinking about lost this one.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I would imagine that Lillard is going go off in this game.

 

[Sinobas]

Who gives a flying fuck about this game?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Who gives a flying fuck about this game?

Blazers and Nets fans?

 

[Labinot41]

I would imagine that Lillard is going go off in this game.

I would imagine that Lillard shots 6/20 FG and 1/7 from 3

 

[TBpup]

Blazers will win this game against a bad team on their trudge through mediocrity. Can this style of play please end one of these years?

 

[Chris Craig]

Crabbe better not go off on us...i'll be pissed. Dame needs a good game, been struggling too much. Nurk needs to stop flopping and return to beast mode.

 

[rotary111]

It does seem like Nurkic suffers from a lack of focus sometimes. He will be just fine, its not like he has stopped learning how to play the game. He will adjust and probably relax a bit as the season goes on.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I can see close game loss, whatever

 

[BrunoSOC]

Some guys need to chill a little bit.
We lost to clippers bucks and grizz in the last possetion. Against clippers cj miss the FT, against bucks Giannis have a HOF perfomance to beat us. Every L, i mean, every L, is drama in this forum. Some much negativity. OKC is playing very bad right now, they just lost to SAC. they dont have a good bench too. CHILL! Its just the early of the season. We cant lost to trash team.

Let me remind you guys a LOT OF GAMES we lost to 20-30 wins teams last year.
We lost to: Orlando (AT HOME), Suns, Dallas, Pelicans (3 times), Sixers, Hornets, Sacramento. None of this teams made the playoffs. CHILL! Our defense is much better than last year. Im pretty sure we will make the playoffs, the only chance we dont make is if someone of our big 3 is injuryed.

Chill. Lets make a run in the next games.
We can beat Nets, Nuggets, Magic and Sacramento.

Go Blazers.

 

[kjironman1]

I really hate it when they lose like that and there is 3 days until the next game.
Pisses me off a bit.

 

[Mr. Robot]

its not about making the playoffs, its about avoiding GSW & SAS cause we cant win series against them... I believe we can fight and go to the 2nd round against other teams

 

[kjironman1]

It does seem like Nurkic suffers from a lack of focus sometimes. He will be just fine, its not like he has stopped learning how to play the game. He will adjust and probably relax a bit as the season goes on.

But boy did Gasol leave me hoping he can be that good some day.

Blazers are looking an awful lot like a 7-8 seed right about now. 6 would be really good.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Nurk is like 4 years from his prime; he’ll be fine. Hopefully it means his first contract extension will be cheaper than the max, but there’s always some GM looking to fuck us over.

 

[riverman]

Time for a blowout win...love to see the 3rd string finish this game off with a big lead

This team has platued in mediocrity. Dame and CJ are already in their prime. The only glimmer of hope is Nurk and Collins, but we don't really know yet what we have in Nurk, and really less so Collins.

I don't feel like sitting on my ass for 2.5 hours anymore to watch these &#&&^$ play. Yippie, maybe we can beat the Nets. Who cares?

 

[Scalma]

Who gives a flying fuck about this game?

Hey everyone look how much I don't care!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Who gives a flying fuck about this game?

Oh, look at me and how I don't care?!?!?!

Oh wait, the wife and I are going and have good seats.

Anyone else going? @Orion Bailey ?

 

[dviss1]

Ok so who the fuck is Caris LeVert and why is he starting over Crabbe???

 

[riverman]

Ok so who the fuck is Caris LeVert and why is he starting over Crabbe???

because their bench sucks...

 

[Boob-No-More]

because their bench sucks...

So do their starters.

BNM

 

[julius]

The Trail Blazers need a road trip to get their shit together.

 

[kjironman1]

Ok so who the fuck is Caris LeVert and why is he starting over Crabbe???

Looks like you are gonna see a direct ChiliP vs CoolBreeze matchup. Both comin off the bench.

 

[Chris Craig]

I hope ChilliP lights him up. Crabbe can't play D to safe his life.

 

[dviss1]

So do their starters.

[BonesJones]

I would imagine that Lillard shots 6/20 FG and 1/7 from 3

These haters never fucking stop.

 

[BonesJones]

Ok so who the fuck is Caris LeVert and why is he starting over Crabbe???

A very young, underrated player. Plays like a more finesse Tyreke Evans.

 

[kjironman1]

These haters never fucking stop.

Is that a hater or just bad english expression? Wonder if he means it kind of like sarcasm?
