OFFICIAL BLAZERS' GAME NOTES ​

​

Happy to see your game threads again @Darkwebs ...
This is gonna be a tough game, I think....
Actually, I think most of the first 20 are gonna be tough.
We're gonna have to hang tough because I don't see this team gellin' fir a while. Then, they're gonna have to work Nurk in....

 

[blazerkor]

I think we smoke the Kings and that will set a tone for this road trip. I don't see any reason why we can't win all four games.

 

[James lamphear]

I say 2-2 but we win all 4 but 2 for sure. Bagley is a big lost for the kings.

 

[Shaboid]

Putting on my McCollum jersey tonight hoping that he actually shows up to the arena.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nurk with us on the road!

I miss watching him play basketball so much. Glad to see he seems to be doing alright.

 

[blazerfan11]

well the good thing is if this team isn’t working out by the trade deadline, we have a huge expiring deal in whitesides contract that should be able to make us players for a nice trade

Bazemore’s is pretty huge too at $19 million.

If there is any whiff of a chance that he's available even given his upcoming RFA status, I'd be all over this and try to land him as our SF. He's 6'6, 205. He'll be fine at that position.

 

[Dougnsalem]

The good news is, we're still tied for the 8th playoff spot. Things are looking great!

 

[SIeepwalker]

Can't watch this game until a day and a half after

gonna have to do my best to not get spoiled

 

[stampedehero]

Here is a depiction of this forum if we are below .500 after twenty games

What a picture!!!! Is that Chicago or the San Francisco fire?.

Oh, it's not a picture from Dantes Inferno?

I love bogdanovic, but his contract doesn’t exactly matchup with Portland’s trade pieces, so it would have to be something like Ariza and Bogdanovic for Bazemore, Trent, and a first. I’d do that.

Nurk with us on the road!

[wizenheimer]

I was just noticing that Minny's bench looks a lot like the Blazer bench from a couple of years ago...Layman - Napier - Vonleh

Jersey on! And it's my half birthday today. All I want is a win!

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm ready. GO BLAZERS! Should be a win tonight.

Gotta love when you have to wait for another plane to show up! View attachment 28059

View attachment 28060

Just curious, what planes do you and the team like to travel on the most? 757? 737? 767? Airbus? Or does it matter to you?

I'm a plane buff, which is why I ask.

 

[julius]

I don't know if it was mentioned in the game thread for game #1, but I found it strange the intro montage had absolutely zero highlights with Brian Wheeler.

 

[kjironman1]

Blazers kind of need this one. Start a road trip off right. It's a game they can win on the road. Hope they take care of business.

Go Blazers!

Kjironman is a fan!!!
