I'm even more confused about how Jake ever got the reputation of being a basketball player.

He's the Victor Claver of the day!

 

[Strenuus]

ugh Ed Davis leads bench in scoring, guys
geez

You're so negative. First Jake, now Ed? :MARIS61:

I kid, I kid. <3

 

[Darkwebs]

Lame, man.

 

[BonesJones]

Collins has to get stronger with the ball.

 

[DUB]

Leonard is really good at spinning the ball on his finger.

I'm even more confused about how Neil thought Jake was going to be a good basketball player.

 

[KingSpeed]

lol layman

 

[Scalma]

Layman is lucky we don’t need a roster spot.

 

[illmatic99]

Babbitt vs Layman. This is surreal to watch

 

[KingSpeed]

Connaughton has 11 though...Napier has 5 dimes

yes but our tv guys said connaughton leads bench. Davis has 12

 

[KingSpeed]

layman block

 

[Strenuus]

See, Layman BLOCKS the unwanted parts of the insurance you don't want!

I'm his PR man when he realizes he sucks at basketball.

 

[Strenuus]

Good god, how do you miss so freaking much Layman.

 

[riverman]

Jake made a 3!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Layman hits a 3. A belated Christmas miracle, I tell ya.

 

[KingSpeed]

finally jake but I could hit that shot too

 

[Strenuus]

lmao a big cheer for Layman finally making a bucket.

 

[riverman]

PRIME THE PUMP JAKE!!!

 

[AFully22]

Beavs beat the Ducks and Blazers take care of business at home. Good night for basketball fandom.

 

[Strenuus]

All the issues notwithstanding, we won.

woo.

 

[KingSpeed]

20th win of the year!

 

[Strenuus]

We're the 14th team to 20 wins.

That's nice and average, ain't it? lol.

 

[noknobs]

New drinking game: Every time Calabro calls a player by the wrong name.

I am fuuuuucked up.

 

[KingSpeed]

We're the 14th team to 20 wins.

That's nice and average, ain't it? lol.

it's because our home record is so bad. our road record is 3rd best in West. if we start taking care of business at home, we'll get a top 4 seed easy

 

[Strenuus]

Unfortunately, that's a big if.

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers STILL doesn't play in garbage minutes.

Part of me is grateful, the other is confused.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Part of me is grateful, the other is confused.

Well, we want to give the minutes to young guys with potential aka Vonleh and Collins

 

[KingSpeed]

Unfortunately, that's a big if.

not that big of an if; we traditionally close the season well at home even when the team isn't all that good. the law of averages say a lot of home wins are on the way

Well, we'll see. Offer still stands by the way, I wasn't kidding.

 

[calvin natt]

I remember saying Layman was a bad nba player and BonesJones said that was a “silly statement”. It never made sense to me.
