[KSF-ERIC]

Missing almost half our team

3 or 4 starters, in fact. Are Hood and Ariza both starters if healthy?

Technically 4

 

[Strenuus]

Lol i got the alert this game was almost starting and I completely forgot.

Or didn't care. Can't tell which.

 

[Chris Craig]

They all ready to play 48 minutes

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Technically 4

And CJ has broken back too!

 

[Labinot41]

Would have been funny if Stotts was wearing a headband as well

 

[Darkwebs]

Time to shock the world!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Keep running offense through Nurk. Nice pass GT!

 

[Darkwebs]

Time to shock the world!

by keeping the score within 30!

 

[julius]

Trying to care.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We look good out there

 

[B-Roy]

Im very ready for Melo and Whiteside to no longer wear a Blazers uniform.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We were first team to 15 this time!

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers fighting

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They all ready to play 48 minutes

They'll need to; I'm already dreading the bench guys coming in.

 

[Labinot41]

CJ man, where was this in games 1-4??

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Im very ready for Melo and Whiteside to no longer wear a Blazers uniform.

I bet they're both back.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Anthony Davis is unfair

 

[James lamphear]

We look more relaxed tonight the offense actually looking good. To bad they didn't call the illegal screen on McGee on LeBron dunk.

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah I'm not gonna miss Melo man.
That was one of the most selfish plays I've ever seen. Made it to the line but damn.

Wide open Hassan for a dunk? Nah

Wide open Nurk for 3? Nah

Pump fake foul bait? Yes

 

[bobf]

God Melo is such a glory and ball hog. Be so glad when he’s gone.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The tough part will be when Simons and Adams come in. Hopefully, it doesn't all fall apart. Or maybe CJ plays 48. They had 4 full days off since last game.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

LeBron really misses his personal head-painter

 

[James lamphear]

The guy is watching is Trent tonight in the starting lineup. Can he get his own shot.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Was there ever a time when I didn't love Gary Trent? I forget

 

[bobf]

Don’t know why CJ can’t play with the second unit the way he plays when Dame is out.

 

[Labinot41]

Cj needs his own team and we need good value in a trade, c'mon cj

 

[James lamphear]

Bad pass melo

 

[Chris Craig]

Shit here comes hezonja

 

[riverman]

Gary with 2 steals early...this kid is a junkyard dog!
