UH OH... up 16 again. CRAP.

 

[EGame]

this lead scares the shit out of me.

 

[KingSpeed]

Like I said, we'll win by 35-40. Don't expect to see Superbeard tonight.

 

[julius]

this lead scares the shit out of me.

There are now only 2 leads that I feel safe in the Blazers having.

up by 40, and up by more than 5 points with .1 seconds left.

 

[EGame]

Like I said, we'll win by 35-40. Don't expect to see Superbeard tonight.

they have batum in there favor too.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

HCP just fucked us on that.

 

[riverman]

61 pt half, that hasn't happened in a long time

 

[Strenuus]

Up by 16... Dallas hit a 3 to end the quarter.

Up by 16... Houston hit a 3 to end the half.

I don't like this.

 

[KingSpeed]

Up by 16... Dallas hit a 3 to end the quarter.

Up by 16... Houston hit a 3 to end the half.

I don't like this.

I love it. We're a mentally tough team and we learned our lesson. We're gonna blow them out tonight.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Welp. Time to burn my Bones dvd set.

Shouldn't you at least watch them first? Actually, don't do either until you get new coasters. Your coffee table thanks you.

 

[julius]

Up by 16... Dallas hit a 3 to end the quarter.

Up by 16... Houston hit a 3 to end the half.

I don't like this.

The ghost of Brian Shaw still haunts us...

 

[KingSpeed]

It's incredible how great we are when we get solid bench scoring.

 

[Strenuus]

I love it. We're a mentally tough team and we learned our lesson. We're gonna blow them out tonight.

None of this has been proven. lol. But I like it.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Love that we're not settling for the triples. Also, give Nico credit for working that pick & RoLo to perfection. Houston has nobody inside that can fuck with Robin when he gets that deep of position.

 

[EGame]

CJ to start the 3rd in place of Batum?

 

[EGame]

my rant will be as epic as the blazers blowing big leads if they end up losing this one too tonight.

 

[MAS RipCity]

this lead scares the shit out of me.

Very much so. It'll be interesting to see if this team learned their lesson on how to play with a lead.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Up by 16... Dallas hit a 3 to end the quarter.

Up by 16... Houston hit a 3 to end the half.

I don't like this.

Up 16 and up 13 is a huge difference to me. Really am stressed out about the second half after that three went in.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard joins Ben Gordon (2004-07) as the only NBA players to make 130+ 3-pointers in each of their first three seasons.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I am going to quote Chris Paul (or at least what he really meant) if you nancys can't handle this then maybe this isn't for you!

 

[Strenuus]

Memphis just beat ATL.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Memphis just beat ATL.

I'd be surprised if Memphis doesn't get that No. 2 seed ... With that said, I'd rather stay in the 4/5 matchup than move up to 3 and look at a potential 2nd Rd matchup with the Grizz. Looking WAY too ahead, I know, but I really don't want Memphis in the postseason.

Blazers hit a three for the win!

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers hit a three for the win!

In a way, I hope it doesn't have to come down to that.

 

[EGame]

Cj McBuckets.

 

[riverman]

In a way, I hope it doesn't have to come down to that.

That's what Houston said in the playoffs

 

[Darkwebs]

Damian Lillard joins Ben Gordon (2004-07) as the only NBA players to make 130+ 3-pointers in each of their first three seasons.

Remember when these Lillard facts were comparing Dame to the likes of Oscar Robertson and LeBron James. Now it's Ben freaking Gordon. Lillard really is in a slump.

 

[EGame]

rolo is great.

 

[riverman]

Big 3rd qtr push...Nic with a bucket!!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Nic's first field goal since the middle of the week.
