[AldoTrapani]

Wow I looooove being wrong. Impressive win. This is what I like to see

 

[ehizzy3]

Gotta love the energy GB3 gives

 

[Buffalo Custard]

The bench looking good....except for Elleby.

This is the part that shocks me. I expected the starters to be fine once they got used to Billups....but I though the bench was going to be awful! I hope this wasn't a fluke.

 

[MickZagger]

Gosh I dunno, Blazers -3 looking a little dicey

 

[LuckyShot]

Brown is aggressive. I like it.

 

[Idog1976]

Ruthless stat padding by Brown.

 

[Eastoff]

Did Norm get hurt? I missed that. I wasn't watching the first half closely sadly.

Yes

 

[wizenheimer]

How can anything that feels so great be wrong?

ask billy graham

 

[riverman]

Yes

what happened to him?

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL wtf

 

[MickZagger]

Tripiani is crickets and it’s comical. He was banking on the first blazers win against the cavs.

Shhhhhh!

 

[riverman]

Hell of a smack down! Great job Blazers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chauncey got his first win!

 

[julius]

Someone check in on @THE HCP

 

[riverman]

What happened to Norm?

 

[B-Roy]

Jarrett jack is with the suns???

 

[HailBlazers]

Holy Crap, I could make a lot of money off this game.made a bet with a friend I’ve never made before. Friend kept trying to get me to bet and finally offered — I owe $1 for every point the Blazes lose by, but he owes me$20 for every point the Suns lose by.offer was too good so I agreed. If Blazers hold their lead I’ll snag $400 and bragging rights Still half to play.

L-F-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Idog1976]

Yes

Did it look bad?

 

[wizenheimer]

well, at one point, Further was up $740 on his bet and finished at $580. Still a better night than the $0 I made

 

[B-Roy]

24/9 A/TO ratio. Nice

 

[TBpup]

Every player with at least 2 points
Dame goes 24 minutes
Nurkic a whopping +30
FLA's Ant/Nas combine for 29 points
DSJ 2nd on the team in assists....as the 3rd PG
Nance/Zeller do a lot of little things

Hope Powell is okay
Elleby is still....Elleby

 

[Freshtown]

Did it look bad?

No one saw it. But he ran immediately to the locker room and never returned

Jarrett Jack a Monty assistant?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jarret Jack sighting!

Nice to see him coaching.

 

[PCmor7]

Someone check in on

Someone check on who?

 

[Hoopguru]

What are you taking a piss?

 

[TBpup]

No one saw it. But he ran immediately to the locker room and never returned

He just signed a big contract. As a Blazers, odds seem almost 50-50 he would get injured. It sucks.
