a

Th_nk you, th_t filled in some bl_nks.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I didn't see any reason to switch there.

 

[Rhal]

Man. Plumlee may have his limitations but he's a damn warrior.

You see him after that GSW game where he so was so scratched up that it looked like he was a scratch post for a cat.

 

[riverman]

Turner is keeping us in the game

 

[KingSpeed]

4 point game

 

[JDC]

Make or miss league....some of you guys forget that.

 

[KingSpeed]

If we get down, everyone trashes the team. But when we play better, everyone (short of riverman) disappears.

 

[dviss1]

Turner is keeping us in the game

And Plums.

No. But I wish we had him locked up. He's going to get paid irregardless..

 

[TBpup]

Finally....Blazers playing like they should against this sorry team of 'olds' and 10-day scrappers.

 

[KingSpeed]

$70M contract versus a guy on a 10-day deal. Not exactly apples-to-apples.

We don't have a 10 day player.

 

[Rhal]

Make or miss league....some of you guys forget that.

I refuse to let facts change my angry rectory mindset!

 

[riverman]

And Plums.

I almost went back and added that....

 

[Chris Craig]

LETS GO BLAZERS

 

[trailblazer18]

Turner baby!

 

[Five Second Violation]

Turner killing it.

We're hopeful but cautious.

 

[Rhal]

No. But I wish we had him locked up. He's going to get paid irregardless..

There was no way he was going to sign an extension with the cap going up again. He is goign to get a hundred million at least this off season.

 

[julius]

Crabbe has gone off for 30

Here's the thing, while we may think poorly about Leonard, Aminu and Crabbe, all three of them have had more NBA experience in their life, including games where they've started, than a player who has played 13 total games in the NBA.

 

[DUB]

I disagree. The usual suspects still bitch and moan even when we're winning, just not quite as often.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Great. Harrison Barnes.

Nice. Just swell.

 

[TBpup]

We don't have a 10 day player.

Someone was asking why our scrubs didn't score well (like Yogi is doing). You listed a couple of Blazer scrub highlights. I just pointed out the massive difference in contracts between our scrubs and theirs...who is destroying us.

 

[Rhal]

woah 8 of 9... that is the reason we are losing. Sometimes no matter what you do you can't stop someone.

 

[EGame]

naturally some scrub does us in

 

[BBert]

Noticeable difference in effort = results

 

[Rhal]

Gotta stop this run right here. we wont have the energy to have to keep overcoming double digit deficits.

 

[dviss1]

Do something Crabbe....

 

[LuckyShot]

Keep tightening the screws on defense and good things will happen.

 

[TBpup]

Portland can win this game.....the difference in talent is massive. Sadly, the difference in effort is massive as well and it's not in our favor.

Ha, you expected him to be consistent.
