[THE HCP]

Halfway there!

 

[PDXFonz]

I think MIA and ATL and PHX will be the toughest games for us. Pop will probably rest players, and the Pels are a two man team.

I think we win tomorrow behind tonight's upsetting loss, and if we stay clicking I think we can get a sweep. However I'll predict we have a let down in the second of a back to back at the end of the road trip, good for a 4-1 trip.

 

[Mediocre Man]

What the hell was that? This shit is fixed.

Just getting primed so we can all bitch in unison if we lose....or win.

 

[riverman]

Just watched the end of last nights game....talk about getting jobbed! How that out of bounds catch was not reviewable makes instant replay useless

 

[Blazer4ever]

I don't know if I believe much, could also be me personally, but I don't know if we even beat the Suns

 

[Reep]

Nurkic is due for a rebound game. Biggest threat is Booker running a clinic against us again.

 

[Strenuus]

Every game is a win/win. Glad I get to catch the full game today!

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers!

 

[BrunoSOC]

Go blazers! This is a must-win game!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go Blazers!

Christ, I hope we don't see a worn-out, lackluster team tonight.

I'm watching a game live two days in a row... is it real life ?

Lucky bastage. How did you get tickets?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Game.

Blouses.

Ahem, I mean live from home.
Because of timezones I usually have to watch replay.
I never saw a game at the RG. Man that would be cool.

aaahhh, gotcha.

The RG is an awesome arena, and we're very lucky to have it. I've been there many times, and it's always fun.

The best part about it, is that everything inside of it is memorable for your next trip. All the concession stands and entrances, etc etc. It's like riding a bike: once you go in there, you feel right at home.

Well to be fair, getting to see the Blazers in any arena would be great... But I'm not planning on going to the US anytime soon.
But I'm sure seeing them in the RG would be even better

 

[Strenuus]

Whelp, here we go.

 

[Strenuus]

Watching the Suns feed.

Much nicer.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Suns broadcadt on league pass.

Had a 4 year old announce Suns lineup. Very cute.

LOL at lifelong Suns fan

 

[Jade Falcon]

1 point missed via FT. I'm keeping track of these tonight.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Vonleh beasting the boards

 

[Cippy91]

How many missed dunks does Vonleh have this year? would be interesting to know

 

[Strenuus]

CJ ends up behind his defender. wow.

 

[Strenuus]

The ffuck shot was that CJ?

 

[Troy.Ave]

Wooooooow Harkless and his FTs?!

What the fuck happened to this scrub

 

[Strenuus]

3 free throws missed already. Geez.

Public holiday here! So I get to watch a Sunday/Monday game.
