[SIeepwalker]

I mean losing to a D league team then beating the Clippers would be a pretty Blazers thing to do so

 

[kjironman1]

Man that poll question though????

I put CJ because i really can't remember right of the top of my head anyone else making a successful lob this season?

I miss the back door cuts Layman and PatCon brought. Harkless brought a few also. Not sure they have that kind of synergy yet this year?

 

[kjironman1]

I look at the lineups and if i forget about the Warriors game i feel like the Blazers could compete in this game. I would however start Skal over Tolliver. Just from what i have seen he is bringing more game than Tolliver.

 

[Chris Craig]

Don't have a good feeling

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I hope they will just fly to LA this morning and work on their basketball for two days; forget about going home.

 

[illmatic99]

I hope they will just fly to LA this morning and work on their basketball for two days; forget about going home.

Pretty sure they're already in LA.

 

[kjironman1]

I hope they will just fly to LA this morning and work on their basketball for two days; forget about going home.

Is that not the plan? Makes sense that they would just go to LA but i could see then taking two flights i guess?

 

[Chris Craig]

And its a national game on TNT

Oh boy.... Thanks for the reminder.

 

[LayneStaley]

I see Harrell using Tolliver and anyone else playing PF like I use that roll of paper towels on my nightstand.

The loss against the warriors was very embarassing. ...

 

[Reep]

CJ will find his shot and we will win a big game, all will feel right, then we will lose 8 of the next 10 because we can't defend sh_t.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

I was talkin to a friend who said that the only reason stotts is in the league is because of Dame. Dame saves his carrer a lot of times. I dont know, but maybe he's gotta a point....

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Will be there. Blazer Fans LA rollin 90 people deep.

 

[kjironman1]

Will be there. Blazer Fans LA rollin 90 people deep.

You get 90 Blazer fans to that game they better win.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I was going to vote for Tolliver but he was left of the poll for some reason.

 

[kjironman1]

I was going to vote for Tolliver but he was left of the poll for some reason.

Tolliver ran away with the last poll he was in.

 

[riverman]

Want to see Baze against Mo in this game...hopefully we'll show up and bounce back from the game that ended like.....

 

[riverman]

Go Good Guys!

 

[Strenuus]

Will be there. Blazer Fans LA rollin 90 people deep.

Well, theres 90 people that could have played better defense on the warriors.

 

[James lamphear]

We better be ready to compete if not this will get ugly pretty quick.

 

[Labinot41]

The good news: the clippers will be on the 2nd night of a b2b,

The bad news: we suck

 

[THE HCP]

I was talkin to a friend who said........

No disrespect my guy, but these kinda claims crack me up.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

No disrespect my guy, but these kinda claims crack me up.

Well...

 

[THE HCP]

Well...

Well, I’d love to know how your friend would know. Does he live in Houston and deliver pizzas?
