Milos Teodosic looks like he was late for the photo shoot.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Poll: I use League Pass, so the NBCNW one is the easiest, and I like Calabro/Hurd.
NBA TV "Players Only" broadcasting can be fun, also.
ESPN is hit-and-miss with the announcing.
TNT, we're usually the late game so we miss the 1st quarter watching BOS shoot FTs against NYK or some shit.

Looks to me like he trims is beard and hair with his teeth

 

[KeepOnRollin]

No idea who their starting SG is. This would be a disappointment if we lost. This other team is going through injury hell.

MILOS TEODOSIC looks like he is a "park" bench player.

 

[stampedehero]

Isn't Turner out for "personal" reasons. We should start Harkless. Over the years, the Blazers would get on a ten game win streak once a season. I feel it could be Now!

 

[Scalma]

I’ll be there gonna try and fight milos

If we would've taken care of business vs DEN, we'd be over halfway there.

He's expected to be good-to-go for this game.

Aminu on Griffin. That should go well.

And because this is LA, I'm certain that the refs will be completely unbiased and fair......

And just think.....the next night we have another game. In Chicago.

Whoever designed THAT little bump in the schedule needs to be shot.

 

[noknobs]

It's impressive he even survived after being lost at sea for two months.

The Chicago game is IN PORTLAND

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn, this game thread turned into a Teodosic roast. I love it! You guys are hilarious!

 

[Jade Falcon]

The Chicago game is IN PORTLAND

oooooohhhh........yeah, I'm dumb. Nevermind.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Close?

LMAO, yeah, you win.

They still have their three best players.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

They still have their three best players.

Their best player is coming off an injury and still getting in rhythm and their 2nd, 3rd or 4th best player is questionable for this game. So no, they don't likely have their 3 best players as one player that is arguably in their top 3 is out until around the all-star break. Another player they originally thought would be in their top 3 is out an undetermined time. They are a shell of the team they were at the beginning of the season.

 

[TBpup]

That is a pathetic starting lineup for the Clips. How are they anywhere near the Blazers in the standings?

 

[Chris Craig]

Close?

Teodosic looks like he has pubic hair on his face

 

[DUB]

Teodosic looks like he has pubic hair on his face

It is pubic hair. All facial hair is pubic hair. Pubic hair is the hair your body grows when you go through puberty. When you see someone with facial hair, you know exactly what their downstairs hair looks like.

 

[Strenuus]

.... I have clown makeup down there

@SlyPokerDog if you call me "Pubeface", I'm never talking to you again.

 

[Jade Falcon]

That's nothing. I have a bell.

 

[H.C.]

That is a pathetic starting lineup for the Clips. How are they anywhere near the Blazers in the standings?

Since Griffin has returned the Clippers are 8 - 4(Not including the 9minutes he played against GSW)
During his absence the clippers went 7 - 8. Beating 3 teams over .500.
Then they won 2 games during his concussion.
Lou Williams has been killing it. But Griffin is what makes the Clippers go, and their winning % is much better when Griffin plays.

Their best two players, one of which is having a career year are pretty good.
This will not be an easy game for Portland.

 

[THE HCP]

Listen to this guy coming from an island of criminals telling The HCP what is private parts look like. Actually I have grey in my beard and not in my sexy parts.
