[DUB]

how did you become a blazer fan? are you from the states?

When I was a kid a family friend was from Boring, Oregon (and moved back, and lives there now). When I started following the NBA, it seemed as good a reason as any to pick a team to support.

 

[DUB]

I believe he is from down under.

Yep born and bred.

 

[James lamphear]

Defense looks fine for the most part good trap for easy 2.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers looking as sharp as a ginsu knife so far

 

[illmatic99]

Look at that. Throw a trap at em randomly, and we force a TO. More of that! Stop being so predictable

[PHXBlazer1]

Lookin good tonight guys just remember its a 48 minute game

 

[illmatic99]

This the most engaged our defense has been all season

 

[illmatic99]

Dame can't buy a shooting foul

 

[DUB]

I hear kangaroo meat is good?

Very good. Like slightly gamey, very lean, beef steak. Sort of like venison.

The Australian Coat of Arms, has a kangaroo, and an emu (eem-you), because neither can walk backwards; we eat both. I eat kangaroo about once a week.

 

[James lamphear]

Right now to much iso by our guards.

 

[illmatic99]

[DUB]

what is kransky? or should I ask...who is Kransky?

Yep, sausage. It’s originally from Slovenia. Cured, smoked, pork sausage, slightly spicy.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk energy good again tonight!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What is this thing we're doing where one guy runs and the other guy throws him the ball? It seems to be working!

 

[illmatic99]

if we were making our open threes tonight, we'd be up 20+

 

[James lamphear]

Our defense has made them comit 5 turnovers already and we we have 6 assist so far. Plus in most part we challenging the shot.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Melo taking over

 

[riverman]

Good start! Our bench is starting to click

 

[riverman]

That's our first foul tonight!

 

[TBpup]

Melo: "After 18 years, the only thing left is a Legacy." (per Brooke Olzendam)

Seriously? What about a title? This is EXACTLY what I was afraid of.

 

[illmatic99]

traveling?

 

[B-Roy]

I hate this lineup.

 

[illmatic99]

im OK with Melo isolating if he tries to get to the line

 

[B-Roy]

Hassan really let himself go.
