    Literally had a portion of the message in quotes and then read that and deleted my response.
    I need to learn from that as well.

    The Blazers haven't beaten the Clippers since March 12, 2019. Since then, the Clippers have won 7 straight games. Time to break that streak. With Leonard out and with injuries to Ibaka and Morris, there's zero excuse for losing a home game to these chumps.

    hopefully the effort will be there, they should show some pride after getting blown out the last game

    I was optimistic and I’m more optimistic. Hinging on Ant and Nas improvement plus Nance and Zeller look like more of an upgrade than I expected. I’m assuming Fame returns to form seems highly likely.

    I did a weighted average of Darko projected player ratings and we came out 3rd in the West behind Jazz and Clippers.

    What the hell was that thing Nurk just did. I think it's called a dunk.

    See last years game threads, minus the people claiming it was scheme related.
