[Darkwebs]

ET just seems to play better on the East coast

 

[Jade Falcon]

My apologies for being late. Go Blazers!

 

[riverman]

ET has remembered how to score again...whew...that's a bonus!

 

[BlazerBeav]

If it wasn't for that James guy, we'd be murdering them!

 

[Strenuus]

lol I knew Lebron was going coast to coast from our FT line.

 

[Haakzilla]

...IT is not 100%, unless he now has a permanent limp from his hip issue

 

[SIeepwalker]

Lebron is keeping them in it








In other news water is wet

 

[Jade Falcon]

So I just got here. I see Nurk is sitting...how did he do to start?

 

[DUB]

Trail Blazers sharing the scoring, James keeping the Cavs in it.

 

[riverman]

...IT is not 100%, unless he now has a permanent limp from his hip issue

That's swagger in his stride that's rusty

 

[Labinot41]

Great Game so far

 

[riverman]

Turner and Chief are starting to click on the court together...

 

[Boise Blazer]

I know it's a common theme in the NBA for non contenders but if a few of our non stars played more consistently we are such a better team. Like a lot better. Turner, Harkness and Aminu don't have to play great just consistent.

 

[Strenuus]

Lamar Hurd... pls stop talking about the Kardashians.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Jesus, how much calogen did Khloe have pumped into her lips today? Looks like a clown.

 

[riverman]

I like Bazz against IT

 

[SIeepwalker]

So I just got here. I see Nurk is sitting...how did he do to start?

good

 

[DUB]

Anyone else remember the Cavs @ Trail Blazers game years ago, where the Cavs were losing, and James was playing poorly, until a fan on the sideline started talking trash to him, and he went crazy in the 4th quarter, and won the game for them (talking back at the fan after every shot)?

This game is not like that one, James is switched on from the start.

 

[BlazerBeav]

How is that a foul on Napier? Only contact was IT hooking Napier.

 

[Darkwebs]

...IT is not 100%, unless he now has a permanent limp from his hip issue

It's must be his pimp walk.

 

[BlazerBeav]

You're never going to believe this, Trail Blazer fans, but our beloved team did not attempt a free throw in the first quarter. Odd.

[riverman]

Toe to toe...good game so far

 

[illmatic99]

Dame always struggles when he's out for a while. A very rhythm player. He's pressing.

I like Bazz against IT

I just hope Bazz isn't untouchable just because he's a fan favorite and playing well.

 

[DUB]

Nice Wade lob to TT.

 

[Strenuus]

I just hope Bazz isn't untouchable just because he's a fan favorite and playing well.

He's not. You're literally the only person that thinks it's a possibility. You do realize all the trades involving Bazz, right?

 

[riverman]

Ed with 2 blocks already

 

[Jade Falcon]

How soon can we trade Harkless?
