Game Thread GAME# 79: BLAZERS @ KINGS - APRIL 5, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Krispy Kreme?

Nah, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are better than most, and warm, they're downright heavenly. Not worth the price, IMO, but certainly not as overrated as In-N-Out.

What's with the teddy bear?

 

[Chris Craig]

Rockets cause they can suck my $&&?

To each their own, but I find KK to be the most disgusting doughnut I've ever had. I'd rather have a doughnut out of the case at Fred Meyer or Safeway.

I can see In-N-Out being slightly overrated but it isn't near as overrated as Chick fil A.

Portland needs this game because if they loose, it could be a 3-way tie for 6-8 in the loss column. Portland would still lead based on wins (and some tiebreaker advantages) but that is cutting it too close. If you are going to be a #5 seed, beating a poor Kings team, even with talent, is almost a must.

 

[Draco]

Never have I seen a food item so overrated.

Yeah got an in n out down the street; Burgerville is way better.

 

[Draco]

I wonder if okc will implement a strategy if we win tonight. Memphis would be an easier first round matchup for them. I wonder if they rest durant and Westbrook when we play them and try to purposefully lose it, knowing after that, there is a great chance we get the fifth seed and they have an easy 1st round sweep on the Grizzlies

Yeah I thought that before; but now Memphis is projected to finish lower than 6th. Think they'll rest them if they're tired as they did in Detroit but they won't care at all about our standings.

 

[Strenuus]

I've had in n out twice... and it lived up to it's name.

It was in n out really fast.

I was never impressed with it. Burgerville is where it's at... but damn it's been a long time since I've been there... might have to make a stop.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I picked the Grizz as the team I want to miss the playoffs. Whichever team draws them in the first round, basically gets a bye and that's not fair.

Great point. I didn't think about that until after I voted...

I don't know if I would change from Houston even with this knowledge though.

 

[stampedehero]

Keep up the win streak... A good drubbing is what we need after that GS game

Hopdoddy is a burger joint we got here; amazing. Best burger I've ever had. Its a restaurant and sometimes has a line over an hour long to get a table but worth it. In n out is just another fast food joint. Its cool that its simple and old fashion but its only a step above McDonalds; it doesn't compare to a decent restaurant. I don't know why sports athletes always go to them; I always hear that with the Ducks/Beavers going as well. Now a poor hungry college student could make sense. But if I was a million dollar NBA athlete I'd never eat that crap.

>If you guys are talking about a great burger, I have to tell you about Rossi's , a South Trenton NJ tradition They moved to the suburbs in Hamilton Twp. ( my home) but a 1/2 pound perfectly cooked piece of cow meat is what I'm talkin about. Rossi's claim to fame is their burgers and the fact that Joe Di Maggio was a frequent customer.

 

[Strenuus]

Acrop.

Steak Bites.

 

[blue9]

As Sir Mix-A-Lot once said: "Dick's is the place where the cool hang out."

I've not been to an In-N-Out, but it sounds very similar to Dick's. And for the price, Dick's is pretty damn good.

One of my first memories of Seattle. Then we went to the arcade across the street. Good times.

[OSUBlazerfan]

So Rudy Gay is out, which is pretty cool.

Is it really in reference to that?
Fuck Kanye, BTW. (But he does have decent taste in pop art...or at least he listens to someone with taste in art.)

 

[Reep]

So Rudy Gay is out, which is pretty cool.

It's always hard to tell if that is good or not. Some of our best wins have been behind Gay and Boogie chucking outside shots.

Kanye has a song with the lyrics "How could you be so heartless". The bear is his mascot for lack of a better term.

Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner. They just opened the one off 185th and Evergreen on 3/31. First, and hopefully last, one in Oregon, but the ridiculous lines tell me otherwise. I can't believe people actually waste time waiting in line for fast food. Do they not get the irony? People camped out days ahead of time and traffic jams on my way home from work for fucking fast food. Really people, you don't HAVE to get it today. It will still be there next week, next year and 10 years from now, long after the novelty has worn off. As a personal policy, I avoid any place with a drive through window. It's all crap.

What's great about the Rockets sucking is that they haven't even had any major injuries. Incredible.

That's their problem; they were way better with Howard injured last year.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Another one is opening in Clackamas later this month.

Just what I was thinking. The Kings were moving the ball great in the first quarter against us in Portland. Cousins is a ball stopper high volume shooter hitting under 50% for the season.

Gay has had a few crazy games against us so you never know what to expect. As long as our stamina is good I think we win this. Hopefully the gut bomb in n out don't slow our guys too much.

 

[THE HCP]

Look who's in the house!

Still, and will always be, one of my all-time favorite Blazers. Should have never, ever sent him to MIA in the Shawn Kemp sign-and-trade. BGrant was the heart and soul of those great 98-99 and 99-00 WCF teams.

So Rudy Gay is out, which is pretty cool.
