It's just a sprain.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas beat the Lakers so they now are tied with Portland at 32-26. Blazers own the tie-breaker though

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Knicks fans:

 

[ehizzy3]

RIP Terrance Clarke

 

[speeds]

Gary Trent Jr benched tonight. 5 points in 15 mins on 2/9 shooting. He was a -12. They won too.

Raps remembering what it's like to win games again.

Gary with the WWE belt.

Young Melo

I can see Russell Westbrook rocking this outfit today

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kinda happy to see Batum doing well again (last ten games stats):

Actually, it seems like a lot of ex-Blazer-SFs are doing well: Ariza, Harkless, Bazemore, all look rejuvenated.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Gary Trent going downhill fast. As someone previously mentioned, not starting, today a minus 33 in 19 minutes. Shot 2 for 8, 0 for 4 on threes, one rebound, no assists.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Knicks >>>>>> Blazers

I’m happy for that fan base. They’ve lived through the equivalent of the Neil Olshey purgatory era for a decade+.

They would've given an arm for "the Neil Olshey purgatory"

Why is this picture not blurry?

Blazers making history!

We tried him as a sixth man today and it didn't work out. Night and day difference.

His +/- today was pretty awful and he was a contributor to that but our bench were just useless (11pts total).

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Blazers making history!

Big picture: We are 22-11 in games that are within 5 points in the final 5 minutes.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

End of season for Pelicans. They had to win tonight. No matter how many times the NBA changes the rules, they can’t get Zion in the playoffs. They need to be patient. LeBron didn’t get into playoffs his first two years either.

 

[Chris Craig]

Magic lost another guard. Rookie Devin Cannady. Compound fracture of his right ankle defending against Edmond Sumner(who also took out Donovan Mitchell)

 

[Hoopguru]

Nate the Great......I remember fans including me were on the get rid of Nate bandwagon and he since bounced around with a some success. Started back as an assistant then Pacers head coach where he really did ok and they probably regret losing him now as his Hawks are kicking ass. How much of their success is Nates coaching versus having the right players that play the game? Remember, he took over when they changed coaches mid stream and the team had several injury issues.

[Rastapopoulos]

NO! HOW COULD YOU PICK THOSE FOUR PEOPLE TO EXPOSE IMPRESSIONABLE YOUNG PEOPLE TO???

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oak being Oak

 

[Rastapopoulos]

More Oak. "Best thing since sliced cheese" is the best Oak-ism since "if it ain't broke, don't break it"

 

[BigGameDamian]

I hope this doesn't kill the Blazers championship run?
