Blazers' GAME NOTES (PDF format)


LET'S GO BLAZERS!!

 

[illmatic99]

Can't take this shit lightly. Must win. We gotta go in to the TNT game vs MIA on Thurs with a 3 game win streak and some confidence.

 

[BBert]

This game thread is magical. Thanks. Much appreciated.

 

[THE HCP]

FUCK! He beat me to it again! FUCK!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'll be at this game courtesy of MGB. 1st of the season, I'm stoked! Saw us play Orlando last year, too, and we lost. I'm definitely expecting a win this time around. Go Blazers!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

FUCK! He beat me to it again! FUCK!

Quality AND quantity, FAMS!

 

[jlprk]

I'm already getting spoiled and bored!

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill.

Let's trade Darkwebs and Aldridge for HCP and KingSpeed. Give the newbies a shot!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wait, what happened to Anderson? Is he out?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Wait, what happened to Anderson? Is he out?

As in the Anderson that plays for New Orleans?

 

[BlazerBeav]

As in the Anderson that plays for New Orleans?

Ha, wow - I did seem to remember seeing him at the Rose Garden this season, but then decided I was just confused. Thanks!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Magic have lost 8 in a row.

 

[illmatic99]

Ha, wow - I did seem to remember seeing him at the Rose Garden this season, but then decided I was just confused. Thanks!

Ya he hit like 15 threes on us, and LA still wouldn't go out an contest him. At least he did at the end.

 

[KingSpeed]

We will lose this game. We always and I mean ALWAYS lose the first game back from a road trip. No way we win tonight.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

We will lose this game. We always and I mean ALWAYS lose the first game back from a road trip. No way we win tonight.

Last time I heard you this adamant about the Blazers losing was last week against the Knicks.

Season

Over

As long as you aren't attending, we have a good shot!

 

[KingSpeed]

Last time I heard you this adamant about the Blazers losing was last week against the Knicks.

Shhh!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Season totally on the line.

Totally.

 

[magnifier661]

We are 18-15; which equals 33 total games. We are a -2 differencial. We need to win by 40 to get that even. I say we start tonight. Let's get a 40 point blow out victory!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

WE NEED TO WIN THIS ONE! After tonight, we have 3 tough games with Miami, G.State, and OKC.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

As horrific as this bench is I can't believe we're above .500.

With the worst bench in NBA history.

o0

 

[KingSpeed]

As horrific as this bench is I can't believe we're above .500.

With the worst bench in NBA history.

o0

And the best starting lineup in the league.

I know we'll lose tonight but I'll humor them and still watch. Ugh. I hate these kind of games.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LeBron James ‏@KingJames I blame the BCS for this! Call Oregon and get them on a plane to Miami please!



(I didn't know where else to post this, lol)

 

[Darkwebs]

We gotta win this game because the next 4 games will be brutal and we may lose 4 in a row

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge was involved in a minor-fender bender on his way to the Orlando game on Monday. He is fine and will start


Jason Quick ‏@jwquick For Aldridge, it is 2nd fender bender on his way to the game in last year. On Feb. 4, 2012 he was in accident then had 29-9-5 vs. Denver

 

[Darkwebs]

Nic's gotta go up stronger than that. He got that shot swatted like a fly

 

[LuckyShot]

LaMarcus looks aggressive so far. I like it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Some nice moves by LMA to get the bucket

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA taking Vucavic to school.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

McBob!
