    I watched that game and maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but it sure seemed like the Hornets were settling for a ton of outside shots…..ain’t gonna get rewarded with FTs if you do that all night.

    it seemed like a classic Coach Clifford effort. Everyone shoot 3's, and figure the other stuff out later. I simply figured some bad calls by refs must have sent Charlotte down a grumpy path, because their players would never lash out in anger, over something as simple as an opponent shooting a basketball.

    The warriors have Draymond green and we blaming the refs not calling fouls? Lol.

    All I'm saying is: other options may be the reason.

    Blazers radio comparing Dalano Banton to Magic Johnson. "the comp is there, the dude is 6'9" and can play all 5 positions"

    i switched the channel, there's only so much that Blazer fans can take

    We're fighting Charlotte tonight for another Miller/Little Scooter draft position. This historic thread will be the longest in S2 history.

    With Scoot and Sharpe out, I am having trouble getting excited for the games. I don't mind tanking but those two are our future and I want to see them playing and getting better. All I got to hope for is that banton can somehow be somebody and maybe Rupert will play. Friday was one of the only times I turned a game off early.

    a Serbian is carving up the Blazers. Coach Billups doesn't like it, calls timeout.
