GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - 12/31/13, TUES, 5 PM (PST), KGW & NBATV

WHAT!?!?

are you serious?

I remember someone, an announcer, was using it. Anyone else remember that?

When someone says, "Not to take anything away from Portland, but...", what they are really saying is, I have to take something away from Portland to make my point. So, Mitchell is really saying he can't call OKC the better team without taking something away from Portland.

I thought it was the Clippers during Griffins second year, first year actually playing, and it was just vs us as more of a taunt about Griffin getting into the AS game over LA.

Hmm...could be.

That was the very first thing I noticed about this game. Weren't their announcers also saying "rip city" their first year? I know some jack off was, just not sure who.

There's an area called brick city in okc. They kind of do it like free throw guy

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Where is the Bobcat game thread? When I come to this forum, I expect the game thread to be ON THE TABLE.

Yeah, those opening qualifiers suck, it just puts people in the wrong frame of mind and has the opposite effect.
