Where's @riverman? With @KingSpeed down for the count in positivity we are going to need his optimistic view for this game today.

I mean, if Crabbe is playing, who needs Nurkic? Crabbe fits the modern game much better, Nurkic is a '90s NBA kind of guy.

[PDXFonz]

We have no chance

You are so fake. How about some faith in our guys. Is it going to be easy? No. Are the odds against us? Yes. Is it guaranteed that we are going to lose? No!

 

[ripcityboy]

Satan Begone!

 

[THE HCP]

That's a mighty low bar - hope we play like Memphis and get up 1- before losing by 30?

I watched the game and swore the grizz were up at least 10 mid 1st quarter. Am I wrong?

 

[Elton]

We have no chance

Believe...harder?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is an important lesson for our @HCP. His boss tweets positive things about the Blazers while @HCP trolls people who are positive and optimistic about the team.

@HCP not a boss. Never a boss.

One day ago, Rudy Gobert was declared out, but the Jazz didn't give a fuck and won anyway. If the Jazz can do that against the Clippers, I see no reason why the Blazers can't do it against the Warriors.

Also, what if Leonard finally steps up to stardom and makes Nurkic expendable? That's happened so many times in sports, it's even named after a player who had it happen to them: David Lee.

Yeah, they were up 13 at one point in the first quarter. And then never scored again.

I wouldn't use the term troll. I just asking why more aren't more realistic. These are the ones who blast our players for losing games they probably should. I support our players and team more than many, but just realistically.

#postivethoughts? or green font?

That's exactly what trolls say. "I'm not being negative, I'm realistic."

 

[dead247]

36% of you voted for Blazers in 6? C'mon I love our guys but being realistic matters.

Blazers in 4!

 

[Minstrel]

That's exactly what trolls say. "I'm not being negative, I'm realistic."

"sorry but its teh truth"

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's exactly what trolls say. "I'm not being negative, I'm realistic."

Don't trolls also say "that's exactly what trolls say?"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Don't trolls also say "that's exactly what trolls say?"

All of us except for you.

I mean there's certainly a chance--but saying the Clippers are even close to the Warriors in talent is a funny. The Clippers are a great team. This Warriors team is being promoted as historic haha

Clippers suck. No comparison.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

No walking the ball up the court. Run Run Run. Make or miss. That is how we beat them last year. Don't let them set their defense.

[KingSpeed]

I just threw up, guys. I think I care about this stuff too much.

 

[illmatic99]

Sigh.

Maybe you're pregnant?

 

[B-Roy]

Maybe you're pregnant?

Pregnant with Blazers pride.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Over the last 3 games of the regular season Lillard is only averaging 19pts.

 

[BonesJones]

Pessimistic as hell. Can't it just be draft time already?

 

[Minstrel]

Pessimistic as hell. Can't it just be draft time already?

Yeah. We need new players to vent about. The existing ones are getting boring to criticize.

 

[KingSpeed]

No chance at all. Sucks. Nurkic was our advantage.
