[THE HCP]

But I thought we were bad again?

How does a supposed bad coach win 50 games in the west with THIS collection of talent?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Baby steps...



I love the emergence of Layman as much as anyone, but I sure am looking forward to getting a healthy Moe back. He was a huge part of our late season run last year.

He has looked really good since he has been back. No apparent rust.

Terrible in game decisions i tell you. Just Terrible!

Dame?

Seriously. Replace CJ with any above average SG, and we have a similar record. Replace Nurk with any above average center - same thing. Replace Dame with anybody but Curry (the OTHER Curry) and we are scraping to avoid the lotto. I'm somewhat suspicious of "intangibles", but I have to admit Dame's impact goes beyond raw stats.

3:50 and guess who’s already here warming up FAMS

That’s a lot of work for 41%.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

John Elvis?

No, it's Elton John's little brother.

 

[James lamphear]

Remember when Westbrook said last game was personal for him. Tonight we need to give it back to him.

Actually a cool new hotel. Used to be an old Ford Motors plant. Used to make Model Ts.....turned it into a hotel.

The 21C?

Love that hotel. If you have the time - walk the halls - they usually have fantastic art exhibits there.

Fun fact:
The Blazers, at 29-19, have a 60.4 win %. This projects to 49.53 wins. Basically, we're on track to win 50.

For me that’s the goal. 54 wins would be perfect

Of course - regular season. Playoffs the thing is: We need to go the 2rnd. Dame needs to. The city and the organization needs. We need to win one playoffs series

Just got to our rooms......
Buenos Noches FAMILIAS.

[riverman]

If I had Jake's name I'd make my nickname "Easy Layman!"....

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Hope Nurk has a triple double by halftime!

Working out before 4. No wonder he's never good in the 4th quarter.

Yeah, that was a stretch. But it felt good. I needed it.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I've had the shittiest fucking day I've had in ages. And my car is dead in a parking lot somewhere.

If we don't win this game, I'm going to fucking LOSE IT.

Go Blazers.

And don't make me powerbomb a poodle.

 

[BlazerBeav]

OKC really is a great rival. They have perhaps the league's biggest jackass as the face of their franchise. Their fans were gifted a good team and have never had to suffer. And, most importantly, it's still the Seattle franchise that I was raised to hate. Kill them Blazers!

 

[Strenuus]

I want that thing Jake has for massaging the neck! Probably cost a couple grand lol.

Borrow one from Mrs. HCP...she has a couple.

 

[riverman]

Mo starting his first back to back tonight...

 

[Almir]

Go Blazers! it is 2 am in Bosnia but worth to watch Beast and PTB...Lets win this!

 

[LayneStaley]

I might hate RW more than anyone in the League

 

[TBpup]

Go Blazers! it is 2 am in Bosnia but worth to watch Beast and PTB...Lets win this!

Props to your fandom @Almir !!!

 

[TBpup]

My heart is rooting for the Blazers but my wallet went a different way. I'd be okay with losing money on that bet.

 

[Strenuus]

OMG MO. lmao.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is UGLY so far.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Wow this is about as bad as you can start a game...

 

[Strenuus]

MMM, I love the smell of lack of ball movement in the beginning of a game.
