[Cippy91]

Guess we aren’t calling anything for a certain team...

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Isaiah Thomas is such a douche

 

[BrianFromWA]

if nurk makes both free throws, I believe

Believe harder

 

[KingSpeed]

great end to a nightmare quarter

 

[kingslayer]

Some life left....

 

[Strenuus]

Good defense on that last possession. That was big.

 

[Labinot41]

Cmon Blazers!

 

[LuckyShot]

Shirley you're not suggesting that NBA refs influence game momentum?

I am suggesting that. And stop calling me Shirley.

 

[Strenuus]

Only down 7.

We have Dame.

I like our chances.

 

[Chris Craig]

We got this

 

[BlazerBeav]

Had Nurk played like that earlier, we wouldn't be in this position. Do more of that.

 

[BonesJones]

If we'regonna win this game, it'll be because Dame steps up big.

 

[Darkwebs]

We're lucky to be down only 7, when you consider the absolute knob-gobbling the refs gave to the Lakers that quarter. Holy hell.

 

[tykendo]

great end to a nightmare quarter

Ain't that the truth. Nurk restores some balance at the end of the quarter. Leonard was as awful as he's been all year. Stotts with the good move to get Nurk back in there.

 

[LayneStaley]

We will win this game, but playing to the competition every night is horrible for my anxiety.

 

[LuckyShot]

Might have a shot if the refs don't put us in the penalty 2 minutes into the quarter again.

 

[Chris Craig]

If we'regonna win this game, it'll be because Dame steps up big.

He's getting angry...lakers wouldn't like him when hes angry

 

[DameLill379]

If we pull this out..it’ll show me a little something about this teams resilience.

That’s big come playoff time. We need clutch play all the way through the 4th. Dame, CJ, Nurk and at least 2-3 other bench players gotta be balls to the wall great. We have a deficit to recover from and then some if we want to win. 7 points may sound easy but this defense hasn’t looked great.

 

[PDXFonz]

Nurkic is a disaster. What a giant PUSSY

Nurk is so overrated by so many.

Wow Nurk made a basket!

Nurk go to hell you fuckin pussy

Game thread status is - LIT!

 

[KingSpeed]

Also- Bones, remember we've beaten this team 14 straight times. That has to end eventually. And if we have HCA in the first round when the playoffs start, will you really care whether we won this game or not? It won't matter. I want to crush the Knicks and then crush all of those "hard" teams.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We got this.

 

[BonesJones]

So which games are you fine with losing, or were you expecting to go 56-26?

WHAT A DUNK!!!

I don't want to lose a game, especially to the goddamn Lakers. It's not an either/or. You don't choose the games that you really want the Blazers to win, right?

We're chasing a 3 seed. 3 seeds beat the Lakers.

 

[calvin natt]

IT ISNT THE REFS EVERYONE

 

[TBpup]

Fighting for HCA....and we have the lowest scoring 3rd quarter of the season. That's why I'm not quite convinced about this team just yet.

 

[Labinot41]

Fuck it4

 

[KingSpeed]

AMINU INSIDE

Of course it does, you're acting like I'm saying we won't ever lose to them again, just because I'm not okay with losing to the trash add Lakers while chasing a 3 seed. What the hell has gotten into you man?

lol. the irony of all of this.

We've pulled out games that looked worse than this.

nice pass nurk
