Current record is 3-7 and they are now 13th seed. They will be 3-8 and tied for 14th soon. Right after the meltdown in the 4th quarter on this one again.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Kjironman is not a fan?

 

[blazerkor]

Well we're a double digit dog in this one with the line being set at 10.5 points for the Cavs to cover. That sounds about right. The Cavs have a really good team who have only struggled to win games against other good teams. I'm hoping that Shaedon will find himself out of his shooting slump and that regardless of how much the Cavs are beating us by that whoever is playing is still working hard.

[BigGameDamian]

It would sure be a lot cooler if Scoot was playing!

 

[Whyachi]

I think the Cavs swept the Blazers last year.
REVENGE !!

 

[riverman]

Win the endgame! Make your free throws! Don’t settle for early 3s

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That's not how to use Ayton, posting up against Allen.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Had to check to see if I was in the right thread. This place is dead.

 

[blazerkor]

The reality is that our A game isn't good enough to beat maybe any other team in the league if they're on theirs, us on a mid performing night loses to most of the league even if they're having an off night and if we're having an off night on either end of the court you can forget about it.

 

[Cugel]

You have to do better than a Bouya air ball 3. Man winning 20 games is gonna be fucking challenging

 

[blazerkor]

Bouyea, Bouno, Bouwho. Pretty funny moment from our announcers.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

As bad as he is, Bouyea still has to take that open short shot.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yeesh sharpe has regressed last few games

 

[Cugel]

Waiting for a nice play, something, anything. Come on CB! Draw it up.

 

[julius]

I'm ready to retire former blazers legend Bouyeas jersey.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The passing seems to be really crisp tonight.

 

[blazerkor]

Yeesh sharpe has regressed last few games

He's in a shooting slump, that's not the same thing as regressing. He's been rebounding extremely well and his passing has been the best I've ever seen... which means it's the best it's ever been. Dude is attacking the hoop really well in the last couple of games but hasn't yet tonight. There's plenty of bad shit on this team for you to feed on, you don't need to just make shit up.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Was about to say I liked what Kris Murray brought and then he just got completely shook for an easy two.

 

[julius]

Yeesh sharpe has regressed last few games

You notice he has a soft cast on his thumb, right?

 

[AldoTrapani]

You notice he has a soft cast on his thumb, right?

He was fine for a awhile after he had it on

 

[Cugel]

Feel free to call a time out

 

[KingSpeed]

Reath leading us in +/- again.

 

[Chris Craig]

Bouyea comes in and we immediately go down twice the points we are already were.

 

[Cugel]

You can’t win shooting 36 percent against an opponent shooting 50 plus. Not gonna happen. Create higher percentage shots!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man the only fun part was watching Sharpe and now he sucks.. this is boring smh

 

[blazerfan11]

Chauncey's offense makes me sad.
