I love that None!

 

[THE HCP]

DAMN YOU DARKWING.......DAAAAAAMN YOOOOOUUUUUU!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Who the hell is Hollis Thompson?

 

[magnifier661]

Let's start the winning streak right!

What are you smokin' Chinaman..... we already have won 2 in a row.

I want a 10 game win streak wetback!

 

[THE HCP]

What SHOULD this streak get to......7 before the Texas triangle? I'd be happy with that.

 

[Draco]

I like how Barrett was playing up the 6ers last night as a 'hot' road team....

We will destroy these fools. I'm not even worried; the Blazers haven't had a single letdown all season.

Charlotte had the best record of our first 6 January opponents.

A better questions is will any game be decided by less than 10 points?

Timberwolves was a letdown at the time (going in). But looking back on it we should have known. 4 games in 5 nights. End of a road trip, etc. So that one gets a pass now. I think the Pelicans game is a letdown though (I know they are a better team then PHI). And I don't expect us to come close to losing to PHI but I would say we have had 1 letdown this year. Which isn't bad at all considering all other teams have to had more then 1 at this point.

No, those are not close to letdown games, we were underdogs in both games. Back to backs on the road against teams who are 10-5 and 9-5 at home are not letdowns.

Doubt it will be as easy as in Philly but this should be a win. Tough to repeat the bomb-fest on the road and MCW wasn't playing in that game either.

Barrett is the Lou Holtz of Blazerland. Every opponent is on a hot streak, very dangerous or better than their record indicates. It's like he is setting up an excuse if they lose. They are better than Philly and should beat them down....end of story. If not, it's because the Blazers played poorly, not that the 76'ers were the better team.

 

[THE HCP]

TB it was great getting to meet you last night. You know your hoops man!

Thanks bud. It was great to hear some of the production stories.

Nice to see the bromance that you and the Sly one started up. Let us know what we can get you two for a housewarming gift.

 

[jlprk]

I doubt I'll be available to watch. I haven't checked, but most Saturday nights have at least one D-League game on YouTube.

 

[HailBlazers]

Anybody got any extra ticks they wanna let go? Gonna be a good one. PM.

But our road record was better than their home records.

Philly beat LAL by 7, Denver by 12, and Sac by 9 all on the road their past 3 games. Concerned?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I forgot this was the game Meyers body slammed that scrub. I wonder if we see a pile driver tonight. Maybe a clothes line or two.

Did he try to sell you insurance or stocks or something along those lines? Dude is a bonafide business mogul.

 

[jlprk]

The Stampede game starts at 6 pm PT, 10 minutes from now. The Blazer game starts at 7 pm.

The high quality advice only goes to those who show up in person.

 

[TBpup]

Gametime!

 

[Natebishop3]

I would love to get Hawes. He would fit in so well here.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Hard start.

 

[Natebishop3]

So tired of seeing teams come out shooting a ridiculously hot percentage against us.

 

[Natebishop3]

Jesus.... fucking miss?
