Nuggets are injured and playing the third game of a back to back to back. And we're at home.

No excuses for not winning this one.

Something psychic woke me up and...WHAT?? the game's on???

Channel or link? All I can find is an infomercial for a Veg-O-Matic.

Is nic back?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nic is listed as questionable in the Oregonian game notes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nic is playing tonight per the twitters.

Quite the snow storm they had/ are having in Denver. I wonder what time the team rolled into PDX this morning?

I would hope they got into Denver yesterday. We didn't play last night.

Huh?

 

[ABM]

Tonight, guaranteed win. A necessary step in the Blazers' step forward.

(PS: I'm still confident of 40 wins this season.)

Watching Nicolas Batum warm up at the RG and I'm not 100% convinced he's going tonight. He's grimacing and seems to be favoring the knee.

Rudy Fernandez comes over and gives Batum a big hug...

Awwwww...

 

[KingSpeed]

Huh?

Sorry. I was confused. Thinking you were saying when we rolled into Denver even though that's not what you said. Forgot it was a home game even though I said so, lol.

No sweat. I just want this WIN!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

I have no faith in our club cuz they've burned me too many times but wins vs Nuggets and Thunder would go along way towards healing our relationship.

You just need to quit attending in person for awhile.

I really want to see you two kiss and make up. Here's to the Blazers keeping the flame alive!

Link?

 

[julius]

that one Nugget guy was in the key for 4+ seconds, traveled and then dunked.

 

[TripTango]

"The Blazers haven't been great finishers this year..."

So true, Mike Rice, so painfully true.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We can not run fast breaks.

We start them just fine...

 

[B-Roy]

Batum on 1 leg rofl.

Gonna regret not extending him.

 

[Darkwebs]

Batman is kicking ass out there!

 

[B-Roy]

So, who are we keeping at SF?

 

[julius]

I like the aggressiveness of Batum, but the last 3 shots were a little out of sync.

I really think the Blazers biggest problem (on offense) is their lack of a mid-range jumper. I don't trust anyone to hit a 12-18 foot shot on this team.

Umm then you haven't been paying attention. Kurt Thomas is maybe the very best midrange shooter in the league.
