PG gives Lillard a chest bump.
Westbrick no where to be found.

COME TO PORTLAND PG!!!






I know it isn’t going to happen lol.

 

[BrianFromWA]

You know when someone's gonna have to pay attention to us? April, when there are 2 to 3 games a night and we're hosting one of them.

PG wishes he could have come here.

If anyone finds a highlight of Nurk ripping his jersey I really want to turn that into a gif.

Why did nurkic rip his jersey? I didnt catch that part.

He was getting ready to go into Superman mode.

 

[illmatic99]

Saw something from Collins tonight. That turnover and his response at the end is not something you see from 20 yr old rookies.

Great win

 

[tykendo]

It’s so transparent how the national media doesn’t give one single FUCK about the Blazers. You know if OKC won tonight Lowe would slobber over Westbrook or the resiliency of their team. Same with any other time we face and beat a playoff team.

It sucks but that's fine. This is a young team, and those jokers are going to have to put up with our team for a long time to come.

okc fans on reddit complaining about the refs lmao

They need glasses badly. And some cheese to go with that whine.

 

[riverman]

He was getting ready to go into Superman mode.

scouting reports now all say.."don't hit him in the face" He becomes the incredible Hulk

 

[tykendo]

That Westbrook airball late in the game lmao fuck that trash ass.

Damn straight. Sick of Roid Rage.

There were bad calls both ways. They do have a right to bitch about that out of bounds call, though.

Just as we have as much of a right to bitch about that goaltending call.

 

[tykendo]

Going to give some props to Meyers too tonight. With Nurk and ED in foul trouble, played some quality minutes to get to the 4th and beyond, and held his own. Bravo.

You have a special team when bench players step up and contribute vital plays leading to victory. These youngsters are beginning to pay dividends on a nightly basis. No way the Blazers win this game last year. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

 

[riverman]

Getting the bench ready for playoff basketball is frickin' awesome...

 

[tykendo]

Nurk is fine. He's a passionate dude who hates to lose. It's all apart of his development. When a less skilled palooka like Adams gets all the calls against you, the frustration is gonna happen. He will rebound from this, and kick arse.

okc fans on reddit complaining about the refs lmao

So no different than last time?

I think Nurk is Damian's protege. Damian will settle him down over time.

We know Ed Davis has Zach Collins. It makes me think that might be part of why we didn't trade Ed. His value in this team>> what we could get in trade.

 

[ripcityboy]

Working with three small guards WORKS because everybody else are plus defenders. And all our three guards are sharp shooters. Notice how we are runnng teams off the floor. We aren't playing two quarters, blowing one, and then losing in the end. This is great BB and next year we go over the cap to keep everybody!

 

[Chris Craig]

@Orion Bailey can sing

 

[StumptownHoliday]

With ZC developing like this, the Blazers are starting to look real juicy. I'm already imagining next season with Collins starting at the 4 next to Nurk. The backups look solid at every position... But MAN just imagine if we could draft/trade for a stud 3... *plays with nipples*

 

[Eastoff]

@Orion Bailey can sing

Move it to the OT with his swish 3s

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

okc fans on reddit complaining about the refs lmao

They take their cues from their so-called team leader. He complains about everything so why shouldn't they?

Ed Davis is part of our core...I want him to retire in Portland...my second favorite Blazer on this team.

Are you saying Ed is filling TWO roles for the team? One as a player and the other as a big-man coach?

 

[Labinot41]

So no different than last time?

Fuck them all! They are fucked up, they won't even make the 2nd Round of the Playoffs, and they started as a Contender to beginning of the Season, PG will leave, Melo opts in, they have no Paul George anymore, but still Carmelo Anthony and still no Cap Space and no First Round Pick, that must be terrible to know your Offense Next Year is Westbrook and Athony the main Time, haha shit

 

[ripcityboy]

Ed Davis is part of our core...I want him to retire in Portland...my second favorite Blazer on this team.

That time he fought for the ball TWICE successfully in one possession then got it to Pat was amazing!

 

[Pinwheel1]

How sweet was the play at the end when PG attacked the basket and was met by Davis AND Collins. Fuck I loved seeing that.

 

[tykendo]

Ed Davis is part of our core...I want him to retire in Portland...my second favorite Blazer on this team.

Easy Ed is the glue.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Ed is this era's Brian Grant. Ed is this era's joel pryzbilla. Ed is this era's Maurice lucas. Ed is love, and indeed, ed is life.
