A home game that will be like a road game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Go Blazers! Gotta win 3 of next 4 to beat HCP's prediction

 

[THE HCP]

Hey in the air on the way home FAMS!
Guess what we are doing in 36 hours....... yep flying out to start our next road trip!

 

[BrunoSOC]

Ok we got this! After a big game last night, its time to finish this lose-streak!

Im confident for this game, LETS GO BLAZERS!

#believe

 

[illmatic99]

The crowd better bring it tonight. Make this a true home game and not a stopgap in between extended road trips.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Im very excited for this one. Lets go Blazers!

 

[Orion Bailey]

Not sure if I can make he game tonight. Pair of 300 level tix half court. Manyone interested? Message me. Do no respond in the thread. My online time is limited so I won't be able to check up on this thread today.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Lillard is debuting the DLillard 3 tonight.



Then this:


Also at the pre-game shootaround, Dame and Casey Holdahl were kind of discussing something which Casey couldn't talk about.

Maybe free DLillards for everyone? :MARIS61:

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Probably a Lillard logo shirt for everyone though

 

[Cippy91]

the real question is, this is an ESPN game, who would rather watch the ESPN coverage as opposed to colabro and hurd?I honestly might

 

[blue9]

Reggie Miller is the worst. I don't know if he's ESPN or TNT, but he's the worst.

 

[Cippy91]

Reggie is TNT. Yeah I agree, he is pretty bad. HOWEVER, Hubie Brown on ESPN drives me fucking crazy

 

[rasheedfan2005]

ill trade meyers for sabonis please

 

[Cippy91]

 

[B-Roy]

Here is a fun fact: Sabonis has 2 FTA in over 500 minutes played this season. Lowest FTA rate ever.

Here is a fun fact: Sabonis has 2 FTA in over 500 minutes played this season. Lowest FTA rate ever.

Its like he was born to wear a blazer uniform

 

[Scalma]

I'm gonna hurt someone (my remote) if Meyers plays ahead of Vonleh tonight.

 

[BBert]

Its like he was born to wear a blazer uniform

Double like

Steven Adams looks a lot how my dad looked when he was in his late 20's-30's.

 

[riverman]

Steven Adams looks a lot how my dad looked when he was in his late 20's-30's.

He looks like guys who used to flagrant foul me on concrete outdoor courts playing pickup hoops in Hawaii...I ate a lot of concrete in those days

 

[riverman]

I frickin' love that movie!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[riverman]

Big Top John the Soothsayer is predicting the future....and Santa Claus is able to cover the planet and all it's chimneys in one evening...and the oceans are dead

 

[rasheedfan2005]

He's about as loyal to the blazers as his wife is to their marriage vows.

[e_blazer]

It's true: douchebag, dumbass, and dickhead. The trifecta before he even starts.
