you guys beat me to it...Darkweb to the rescue!

 

[theprunetang]

Although, there is no reason to watch tonight's game. We all learned from "going back 2 back in 2016" that we are going to be dick slapped tonight. We might as well all become warriors fans.

 

[riverman]

Darkweb is the Brian Wheeler of game threads..a win tonight would be epic! Let's see the Splash bros belly flop for a change!

 

[PDXFonz]

Thought they would at the start of the season because of how well they have played. Then I saw they were only 1 game up on the Bulls through the All-Star break. I bet they win 70 games.

I really hope they don't break the record.

Stotts also said he'll use Roberts in the same way he used Tim Frazier, so no guaranteed he'll play tonight

Has Roberts passed the physical already? That was really quick if he has and I'm not talkin' Jason Quick either

You mean we trade him for a guard and a pick?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I said no to the poll cause we're gonna beat these mafuckers down tonight and start their 2nd half slide. Take that bay troll!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Yes he has

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

OK, does anyone else think Brain Roberts looks like black Fred Savage?

 

[Jade Falcon]

We have what? 9 days of rest?

I'm not expecting a victory tonight, but dammit...I hope we give a good game. Go Blazers!

 

[theprunetang]

OK, does anyone else think Brain Roberts looks like black Fred Savage?

I was trying to put a face to it. That is it.

 

[Jade Falcon]

OK, does anyone else think Brain Roberts looks like black Fred Savage?

LMAO, wow, he does!

And CJ looks like Urkel.

They should do a sitcom together.

Jason Quick was peaking through the blinds during the physical though.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

This guy's nickname possibilities are plenty.

Maybe we can get zbo back. They need an Eddie Winslow.

 

[riverman]

definitely has the chin
