Like Stotts says, an open three is a good three!

Or in Dame's case, if it feels good do it!

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame hit 14 of those 29 threes.

It will be interesting to see how the Blazers approach this game. I realize it is only mid January, but if they really want to make the playoffs.......they should treat it like a playoff game. down 4 games in the loss column to the Jazz.......

 

[riverman]

Go Good Guys! This is a game we should win. Aminu is starting to click with the first unit and I think he'll have a good game against the Jazz.

It is

 

[kjironman1]

Who is going?

 

[42N8Bounce]

Who is going?

I'll be there!!!

 

[kjironman1]

Was thinking about going if I got time after work?

 

[Darkwebs]

No Favors tonight, so let's do no favors for Utah, and beat them.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Dame hit 14 of those 29 threes.

Not even 50%?! Not good enough!!

 

[Strenuus]

I really hate the "You're the 6th man, and the Rose Garden is our house" crap.

 

[42N8Bounce]

It's not nearly as loud in here without the RipCityTwo group!

 

[Strenuus]

Must win.

Wow. Empty!

Go Blazers!

 

[Darkwebs]

LILLARD TIME HAS STARTED EARLY. REALLY REALLY EARLY

 

[Strenuus]

LOL. Dame hits his first 3.

 

[Darkwebs]

Some sick dribbling by Aminu. Very surprised he didn't turn it over

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

That was off Gobert! Refs screwing us early.

 

[Strenuus]

Scramble 3's are the menu tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Scramble 3's are the menu tonight.

I prefer my 3's hard-boiled.

 

[Strenuus]

Hayward hurt.

 

[Tunchi]

Plumlee is so garbage offensively

 

[Darkwebs]

Vonleh throwing his muscle around, causing a bloody nose for Hayward.

 

[Sinobas]

Wow, you can't even score 5 on 4???

 

[Jade Falcon]

Wow, you can't even score 5 on 4???

Yeah, that was sloppy as hell.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Does anyone know when the Powerball drawing is? I've got my ticket ready.

 

[Strenuus]

Plumlee is so garbage offensively

You act surprised.

 

[Blazinaway]

can we make a friggin shot?
