[EL PRESIDENTE]

Didn't they change this to a TNT game?

 

[Strenuus]

$50 - god damn... no one should be paying that...

 

[Darkwebs]

Didn't they change this to a TNT game?

I think that was last week's game vs. the Lakers.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Its a must win game!

BEAT LA!

 

[illmatic99]

Didn't they change this to a TNT game?

That was last week. vs LAL in POR

 

[SlyPokerDog]

@HCP snow is forecast to start falling tonight. Will you guys stay in LA or fly to Seattle if PDX is closed?

 

[H.C.]

I like the style of the hat & colors, but as @Strenuus said 50$ is too much.

 

[THE HCP]

@HCP snow is forecast to start falling tonight. Will you guys stay in LA or fly to Seattle if PDX is closed?

If PDX were closed, we might land in Eugene. We've taken off from Eugene in the past.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Isn't Cleveland tomorrow night? Are hey already in town?

 

[Hobbesarable]

Please ask the Blazers to make this hat available again.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If PDX were closed, we might land in Eugene. We've taken off from Eugene in the past.

Screw Eugene, team party in Vegas!

 

[Darkwebs]

Isn't Cleveland tomorrow night? Are hey already in town?

Cavs are playing in Utah as we speak.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dumping snow!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Fuck the l*kers

 

[Cippy91]

Will plumlee get his triple double? That's the only thing that should be desired this season

 

[SIeepwalker]

Heartbreaker last game, let's get this one.

We're 1-0 on the games I watch live !

 

[LuckyShot]

I have work to do tonight so I won't be able to vent as often while watching the game. My head might explode if we don't play well and win.

 

[Cippy91]

Possessions like the first one makeme sad. Everybody on this team needs to be set up to score, always looking for dame and cj. Aminu luckily drew the foul

 

[rasheedfan2005]

C big dick J

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ has been on fire lately.

 

[Cippy91]

I feel like cj is as hot as dame was for the start of the season. We are just seeing the opposite now. It's fun to watch

 

[TBpup]

CJ has been in such a groove lately. (offensively) You almost expect every shot to go in.

 

[LuckyShot]

I feel like cj is as hot as dame was for the start of the season. We are just seeing the opposite now. It's fun to watch

Basketball is a game of peaks and valleys.

 

[Cippy91]

Never ISO Mason again

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Basketball is a game of peaks and valleys.

Just like mrs HCP

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Lol hurd just said plumdog millionaire!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nice feed from Damian to Mason

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame just seems off. He looks indecisive.
