Thank God that HCP won't jinx us again

BULLSHIT!!!!! Had you left my thread alone we would have won!

 

[Strenuus]

We have a chance!

Dude, I'm pretty sure the last two game threads you started were losses... that means 2 out of 7 losses are from your game threads. That's not a good ratio bro.

A guy said a prayer before the national anthem. Only team I've seen do that.

We used to do that when I coached CYO basketball.

Portland is a "dangerous paint-scoring team?!?!"? News to me from the NBA TV announcers.

 

[PapaG]

I like the solid on solid uniforms for the two teams.

 

[magnifier661]

I just live Matthews step back

It's OKC's announcers

 

[magnifier661]

Killard!

 

[magnifier661]

Nice defense so far

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

No D ... fuck

 

[magnifier661]

I wanna blow them out bad

 

[BrianFromWA]

Lillard looks pure tonight.

Durant can score in about 33 different ways.

 

[magnifier661]

You just don't argue with Crawford

 

[KingSpeed]

I like these refs

Toss him!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Joey Crawford makes an appearance...

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA must have learned some blocking tips from Anthony Davis last night

 

[TBpup]

Aldridge and Durant playing 'who can score the most'. Durant usually wins that battle...hopefully the Blazers win the war.

 

[TBpup]

Durant completely DOMINATING Batum.

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA in a groove right now.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We're seeing why KP thought Durant would win scoring titles.

 

[PapaG]

This game may end up 130-129.

 

[TBpup]

We're seeing why KP thought Durant would win scoring titles.

Yes but he missed drastically on the "but Oden will win titles" portion. Even if he wins one with Miami, I don't think that is what he was referring to.
