Sounds like the best argument for @Darkwebs' threads I've heard yet!

Please make game threads for the Lakers.

Suns are actually 9-13, Darkwebs. At the moment at least. I'm looking forward to this game. A win against Phoenix would be a good step forward for this team. And it would give us a split on the road trip. I'll take it. Go Blazers! Get to 10!

I know, I'm predicting the Suns will win tomorrow against the Magic.

This 10th win is taking forever to get....would be sweet to get it against the Suns

 

[Strenuus]

Those logos are badass, DW.

I always like a win against PHX... it's not like a rivalry... its just we lost so many times against them (except for last year)... I just wanna win.

But then, we'd have 10 wins! DO WE GET BEN?!?!

Free League Pass trial for tonight and tomorrow's game for those not in the Comcast Blazers market.

 

[ripcityboy]

Ahhhh..... our nemesis!

 

[dead247]

I really like Devin Booker. Wish we could nab him.

 

[Strenuus]

Free League Pass trial for tonight and tomorrow's game for those not in the Comcast Blazers market.

Thank you!

 

[Strenuus]

damn, halfway through the first... close game... and slow game thread!

 

[Jade Falcon]

What an odd start. They need to watch those turnovers and clean up the sloppiness.

 

[Denny Crane]

Celtics up 3 against the Warriors with about a minute left

 

[ripcityboy]

Yes, but it is, dare I say, a PLUCKY game thread.....

 

[Strenuus]

Warriors down 1 with 1:10 left in the 4th.

 

[EGame]

hi

 

[HailBlazers]

Man Aminu could be so good

 

[Strenuus]

warriors now up 2 with 46 seconds left.

And vonleh with the O board and the bucket! He's worthless!

 

[Denny Crane]

Celtics up 3 against the Warriors with about a minute left

Curry hit a 3 to go up 2

 

[Strenuus]

Vonleh doing work!

 

[EGame]

Why does Aminu always go 1 against however many is down with the opposing team? Does he not know how to hold it up and try and work the halfcourt offense?

 

[Strenuus]

I need to take a shot... I knew aminu was going to take that all the way. Fuckin a.

 

[riverman]

Crabbe is on tonight!
