[THE HCP]

C'Mon man!!!!!!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

C'Mon man!!!!!!!

We left your Heat game thread, not only did the Blazers lose but now Lillard is injured.

 

[Strenuus]

What the hell is Teague looking at?

 

[Chris Craig]

Lillard and MCCollum both out for the hawks game

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Montero is going to go for 50 tonight and give up 60!

 

[BBert]

Excellent.... [/Mr. Burns]

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

NOAH VONLEH UNLEASHED! This will be a fun game to watch.

 

[Strenuus]

question. if this is in atlanta, and it's a 5 pm game... does that mean they are having an 8 pm start time in ATL? THat seems late as fuck.

 

[THE HCP]

question. if this is in atlanta, and it's a 5 pm game... does that mean they are having an 8 pm start time in ATL? THat seems late as fuck.

Thank the lord for the late start here. We were at the arena in Miami yesterday at 2:45AM Portland time! I was a fucking zombie all yesterday. Today got to sleep in and recharge!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Where is Plumlee on the poll list?

 

[Strenuus]

Where is Plumlee on the poll list?

Did you just mash the color buttons?

 

[KingSpeed]

Crabbe career high tonight

 

[DUB]

I'll be interested to see who runs the point when Fraizer sits.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Our defense with this unit is pretty amazing.

 

[riverman]

I'm really glad to see this roster play a game without 50pts from CJ and Dame...prime the pump

 

[Jade Falcon]

I didn't know both CJ and Lillard are out tonight. Wonder if this means we'll see Pat?

 

[riverman]

already 5 turnovers...gotta stop this

 

[Sinobas]

Crabbe has been a starting quality player this year. He's been insanely good from mid range. 55% from 2 37% from 88% from the line. That's top of the line shooting efficiency.

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers had better call up a guard from the d-league.

 

[Sinobas]

I like Frazier as a backup guard, don't understand why some people were so down on him. He is quick to make the pass and get things going.

 

[riverman]

Blazers had better call up a guard from the d-league.

Tim Frazier was the best guard in the D league before Portland

 

[Sinobas]

Let's sign Michael Stockton to a 10 day contract

 

[Sinobas]

Tim Frazier was the best guard in the D league before Portland

Yeah, and now he's our only PG.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

14 with 1:43 left.

Yikes.

 

[DUB]

Nasty Ed!

 

[Sinobas]

14 with 1:43 left.

Yikes.

If this team can score 80 without CJ and Damian, it'll be an accomplishment.

 

[riverman]

only down 9 after the first qtr...this is like the old days...save the best for the second half

 

[riverman]

Yeah, and now he's our only PG.

no love for Montero?

 

[Sinobas]

Leonard just has no inside game.
