[maxiep]

Tough game for us without Aldridge. Their bench is better than ours and their starters match up well with us.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

LMA is officially "OUT" for this game?

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA is officially "OUT" for this game?

Yes, according to the Blazers' official game notes. But they've been wrong before, so we'll just have to wait for an update.

 

[blue9]

Man, I was so sure of a blow-out against the Bucks. I can't even begin to imagine what will happen tonight.

 

[BBert]

We'll play up to our competition.

 

[maxiep]

If we want to beat the Wiz, we need to step on their necks early.

The Bucks played so well because we gave them hope. Our defensive effort was atrocious. We need have Les Boulez get discouraged and pack it in.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gotta shutdown Ariza. He is deadly from 3.

 

[Strenuus]

Gonna miss the first half with my final, but I'll listen to most of the second half on the way home. Better have a lead.

 

[maxiep]

Gotta shutdown Ariza. He is deadly from 3.

I hope he steals the ball and goes for a breakaway dunk only to have Victor Claver sweep under him so he falls on his back.

Venganza espanola.

 

[riverman]

Time for the long lost blowout win to knock on the door! Looking for a 4th qtr with Leonard,Claver, Crabbe and Watson logging big minutes tonight!

 

[DamianLillard#0]

Here We goooo !!!

Both LP feeds are freezing for me. Speedtest on my ISP says i still am > 10mbps.

Anyone else facing issues?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batum with five already.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I hope he steals the ball and goes for a breakaway dunk only to have Victor Claver sweep under him so he falls on his back.

Venganza espanola.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Thanks but I'm gonna watch and wait for this freezy feed that I paid for. FUCK YOU, LEAGUE PASS

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

where is the ball movement?

 

[DamianLillard#0]

our team playing bullshit..

 

[LuckyShot]

First game I've gotten to watch in a while, and the first thing I see is a phantom foul call against Lillard guarding Wall... I really do hate the NBA...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We have absolutely no flow within our offense... It's like 2-3 passes then shoot. We need to start swinging the ball around.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

holy shit meyers.. go home bro ...

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ's touch is sexy. Ahem... I mean... damn this Meyers Leonard guy is a goof, huh? Right?

 

[DamianLillard#0]

meyers is a dumb.. he is more dumb then LA haha

 

[Darkwebs]

Claver in for Meyers. Thank god

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Man the playoffs are gonna be a bitch unless we get beginning of the year LA back.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

hahaha

 

[KingSpeed]

Go Blazers
