This is the first game thread with the updated forum! It's a damn good sign!

Damian Lillard coming out for his 198th consecutive game. Ties Terry Porter for 2nd all-time in #Blazers history. Cliff Robinson 1st at 461

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge needs to set the tone early

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ugly but nice.

 

[riverman]

Now we're cookin'''

 

[SlyPokerDog]

102!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The old Ross Perot from Matthews (in and out and back in again)!

</Eddie Doucette>

 

[Darkwebs]

This is the kind of start we want.

 

[magnifier661]

What an excellent start so far! Our defense is locked in

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Nobody gets to their spot better than Joel Freeland.

[Flipper]

Come on let's go Blazers!

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge!

 

[magnifier661]

Atta boy Freeland!

 

[riverman]

Way to stay with a play Joel!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lillard doing the Nash/Blake through the key special! If he does that enough, he'll get 20 assists a night and THEN MarAzul will like him!

 

[PDXFonz]

Savvy move by Horford

 

[DUB]

This is the kind of start we want.

I dunno, we always seem to get ahead of ourselves when we start well.

 

[riverman]

Joel in 3 minutes had 2 pts and 4 boards...that's what we need

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Oof.

 

[magnifier661]

Batum!!!!!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batman's back, baby!

 

[riverman]

Hello Nico! that's back to back 3's

 

[Darkwebs]

Nic at his best there

 

[magnifier661]

What a pass Batum

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batman to Bulldog!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Freeland's been wide-open under the hoop 3x now. ATL must've punted on that in game planning.

 

[riverman]

I'm really impressed with Joel Freeland

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Kaman has some big shoes to fill.
