Great thread once again dark!

Thanks, man.

I hope the gutsy win against the Thunder propels us to a long winning streak. Win# 2 starts here. We gotta start off the new year right.

Undefeated in 2014

AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't want to jinx us but our next 6 games are against really crappy teams. 31-7 should be the goal going into the Road trip. We should split the trip so 33-9 is realistic and would be amazing.

 

[KingSpeed]

By the way, why isn't CJ listed as a member of our bench? He's back, right?

Not offically.

Hear hear

First game I'm attending all year. If we lose, you may blame me.

Okay. I've got the feathers; I'll get the tar heating.

 

[Sinobas]

The Blazers really need to show their mettle and pound this team out of the Rose Garden. No more dinking around for a last second win. (or loss)

 

[Draco]

Bobcats got beat handily at the Clippers last night. Hopefully they're real tired, a heavy night of drinking in LA on New Years eve followed with a game the next day. Now they have to fly up here on a back to back. Our guys should be fully recovered from New Years hangovers. LMA skipped the team flight home and went to Dallas so hopefully he got enough rest on his trip.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Shut down Kemba and we win easily.

 

[illmatic99]

Boy that CHA roster looks god awful. And they're going to be on the second night of a b2b after a bad loss last night at LAC.

Should be an easy win.

 

[BBert]

I want a Crabbe sighting.

Starters need to step on the gas early.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Great thread!! Maybe you could add a picture of the arena from the outside to spice it up a little?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Charlotte is so bad, I am preparing myself for the run of Myers Leonard breakout game posts.

 

[Draco]

Interesting that Charlotte has the best record of our next 6 opponents.

 

[magnifier661]

Sinobas, here is your game thread! Lol

Careful, someone got banned not long ago for comments like these

We need to blow someone out. I'm tired of these close games.

No he didn't. It had nothing to do with that thread. It was his comments in the Jason Quick is Back thread that continued his long standing pattern of baiting and trolling that got him banned - yet again.

If you want to defend the poor, oppressed troll, at least get your facts straight.

That is awesome news, I'm a huge quick fan

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Damn, you're right. Those are OUTRAGEOUS comments. How dare he!!!!

 

[Draco]

I can't believe how irrelevant Ben Gordon is today. He was the main offensive option on good Chicago teams that won playoff series when he was young. His worst 3point shooting season in Chicago was still over 40%. His early career is close to a best case scenario for CJ McCollum.

 

[Draco]

Damn, you're right. Those are OUTRAGEOUS comments. How dare he!!!!

Why do you spend so much time and energy complaining about how mods regulate a message board?

 

[Natebishop3]

Careful, someone got banned not long ago for comments like these

Do you realize that your constant posting about the mods is, in a way, baiting/trolling?

Seriously, do you really think that this place is over-moderated?
