HELL YEAH!!!!!!! ANOTHER RUST BUSTER GAME FOR OUR ROLE PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BigGameDamian]

2 Shaqtin' a Fool plays in a row to end the game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dang, I wanted Gary to get 8 threes. They did everything they could not to give him the ball the last three minutes of the game.

 

[illmatic99]

Someone really needs to sign Dame to a watch deal.

how it didn't happen 5 yrs ago is baffling to me

 

[Tince]

In recap:

• Down last nights starting SF
• Last years starting PF
• 3 of our opening night starters
• 2nd night of a back to back
• on the road
• against the leagues leading scorer
• led for 46 minutes,
• double digit lead for over 36 minutes

Yet the thread reads like the 98 Chicago Bulls were losing to 2012 Bobcats.

 

[bobf]

What happened to Nas?

 

[Tince]

What happened to Nas?

[illmatic99]

Are you saying we’re NOT the 98 Bulls?

 

[Chris Craig]

well russ got his triple double.

He can have it and the loss

 

[DDolla]

What happened to Nas?

What else is new? Injured

 

[Scalma]

 

[BlazerBeav]

Staying alive!

 

[Tince]

Only difference is Phil Jackson isn't on our bench!

 

[riverman]

What happened to Nas?

They said knee sprain the day after he had 30 pts...my guess is he slightly hyperextended it and needs to ice it and make sure it stays stable...we're going to need him

 

[DDolla]

Damn, we could have won that Rockets game too

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

well russ got his triple double.

@THE HCP will be happy.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Philly is probably too big of an ask - but get a win in MSG and go 3-3 on the trip and that's ok.

Boy, didn't they? It was like everyone forgot about him, including the coaches.

 

[Scalma]

yeah I doubt it’s serious as he went through a pregame workout.

2 win road trip is ok... 3 win road trip would be amazing!

Overuse.

For sure, he’d win 6 straight with this roster except the two years Melo plays for the White Sox.

High standards.

That might actually increase his odds of winning a championship!

 

[riverman]

Overuse.

He got clocked in the paint a bit...when you're leaping and you get stopped before you get off the ground you can hyperextend the knee...like jumping into a swinging door I guess. I hope that's all it is because it's basically just inflamation

On the 2nd night of a back to back the Blazers get the job done in Washington. The Blazers Uprise Post Game Show begins now:

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Tince's theory that team with most assists often loses is proved out; Wizards had 13 more assists than us. McMillan's theory that if you win rebounds, turnovers and free throws attempted proves out; Blazers five more rebounds, four less turnovers and six more free throws.

Hey, that's not my theory!

The DATA says assists and wins are not correlated. Not that the team with the most assists often loses!

how does scott brooks still have a job?
