How do you feel about home-and-away series during the regular season?

Poll closed Apr 11, 2019.

  1. Love 'em. The competition/rivalry is more fierce & fun playing 2 straight against the same team.

    9 vote(s)
    18.4%

  2. I like 'em. It adds some intrigue and interest to an otherwise long season.

  3. Meh. No opinion either way

    22 vote(s)
    44.9%

  4. I don't really like them. They don't add much to a regular season game.

    3 vote(s)
    6.1%

  5. Hate 'em. I don't like seeing the same team again so soon. And these seem to always end in a split.

    Valiant effort by our guys! We were within striking distance. Some balls just didn't bounce our way tonight.

    Oh yeah, they got the offensive rebounds! Tough game. But we were there at the end with Dame having a tough game. This team is awesome.

    Well good game to the Nuggets. If we can't keep them from shooting over 50% we are going to lose. Gotta shake this one off and get them sunday when they come to our court.

    Blazers outside of Dame are 39/72.... .541 from the field. He didn't pass to Aminu every time. Lots of guys hit shots....just not Dame.

    All im going to say is if I see Aminu in a Blazer jersey next year, fuck Olshey. Im tired of seeing a consistent scrub in our starting lineup.

    You know, honestly, if you actually had the balls to be here all the time instead of when damian starts to struggle, and you ONLY highlight him struggling, then people might actually want to engage in adult conversations with you.

    But since all you ever do is bitch about his game, and emphasize poor play on his part (which NO ONE FUCKING IGNORES), no one will take you seriously.

    It's a pretty pathetic shtick you do, or you are just a huge loser in real life. Just stop. The reason a large portion of the board doesn't like you has nothing to do with you "criticizing" Damian. It has to do with how you ONLY criticize him when he's doing bad.

    You don't want him running out of gas once playoff time starts.

    Dame was not shooting well tonight i'm not trying to say that. I'm just pointing out the way they played Dame he did exactly what he should have, go into the paint collapse the D and kick it out to the open shooter.

    They have one of the best centers in the nba against one of the worst defending centers in the nba. Of course they were going to win. I miss Nurk.

    This would be a fun series if we get Seth and CJ back healthy by playoff time
