    When the Blazers play well, Kent makes it tough to enjoy. Really like him as a studio host and am a huge Duck fan....but he makes me mute the audio game after game.

    They really went on the cheap with Kent and Travis. Travis getting better but I've lost track of how many times he says something like, "lays it up for 2."

    Has there ever been a layup that was worth something other than 2?

    I hate when they take a 3 on a 4 on 1. Just fucking take it to the hole.

    Travis is fine.

    Kent is the worst play by play guy in the league behind the Charlotte guy. It's not even close. Makes the Blazers unwatchable. Which sucks, cause I like hurd.

    i always underestimate my hate for that dirty team. O'Neale especially. After what he did to Ant last year, I have them on the shit list.

    not to mention Ingles/Gobert always acting like they're hot shit, and Mitchell talking down to Trent, etc. This is a team that really hasn't done anything to act like they do.

    We gotta be better on the ball if we are going to continue to drop Kanter and Nurk.

    Switching hasn't looked good either. Just opening up the o boards for Gobert.

    Just because it's not how it's played makes it right. It's still wrong, and I will always old-man-yell-at-the-clouds about it.

    Good stuff by Nurk. Joe has got to pull that one out on the late switch though.

    Bailing us out with that straight line drive right off the screen

    Way to make a dagger to finish the half.

    Now, just don't come out flat to start the third. And see if we can get some better refs and someone other than Doris Burke to call this game.
