Our resourceful team responded with hard work and a commitment to champion our mission to bring the best TV to our communities. We have seen tremendous growth and have thousands of loyal subscribers. However, this is a difficult economy for a company like ours to raise the funding that we need to grow.

It's awesome

 

What?

 

I know we're banged up but we're going to kick these guys' asses.

 

Mini-Schröder is playing tonight. Billups will put Grant on him.

 

here we go, winslow-watford-nurk in the line-up

come on chauncey, three non-shooters are difficult to overcome

 

Is Hart out or something, why would Watford be in the starting lineup? Or do you mean he will just throw that one out there and have either Grant or Simons on the bench and refuse to play Sharpe to ensure the other team sags into the paint and double's our sole shooter mercilessly?

 

This is an L. Cmon Blazers, prove me wrong

 

They can’t even beat a depleted clippers team in their own house lmao FOH

 

hart (ankle) is limping, wont play tonight

 

We had that game and let it slip away. So, I think that this young team is very susceptible to coaching. I would almost guarantee that Chauncey let them know that a loss like that is unacceptable and has them fired up trying to make up for it.

We just need to see Chauncey ball on defense (a ton of switching and intensity), we need Ant and Jerami to be on and stay on and we need the guys besides that playing Chauncey ball offense (moving, screening, passing and only taking shots that are good for them).

The team we're putting out there tonight is no worse than the team the Clippers put out last night that we should have put away and the Lakers have big time problems being consistent. So again, I say we're going to kick their asses tonight... obviously I could be wrong, it's just the way I see it going.

 

this game has potential to be worse than the previous one against the lakers and thats saying something

 

I would like to see Greg Brown and/or Walker get some minutes because with no Hart our rebounding is going to suck when nurkic isn't in the game.
With the Blazers ahead 108-104, Norman Powell misses a free throw, Watford has good inside position but can't grab the rebound as he miss-times his feeble jump, Diabate tips it from behind and it slips off Watford's hands right into Grants hands who for some reason pirouettes and it flies off of his hands to Diabate.
THEN the clippers shoot and miss a 3-pointer and Justise Winslow I guess figures he has to pull on Diabate's jersey to keep him from getting another rebound and fouls him.
Pathetic. Chauncey needs to make a change.

 

Stay east of the 405 bro.

 

Billups is fucking insane running out Watford, Nurk and Winslow to start. How many times do we need to get absolutely DESTROYED due to lack of shooting before he figures it out. I don't care how rough Sharpe is playing, he can actually shoot and teams HAVE to respect him, there is no such belief about Watford and Winslow. This is madness!
