    Nah, we aren't tanking.

    We're just tired from the back-to-back, the OT, and the long travel.

     Blazers outscored 62-31 in the 2nd half tonight! Never seen a team doubled up in the 2nd half. Defense was non-existent,won't blame fatigue.

    This is obviously Nate's fault.

    The second unit kills any flow they have.

    Flynn reminds me so much of Telfair.

    What happened? I fast-forwarded through the game. We had complete control midway through the third. What the fuck happened? For playoffs, we must now win out our last 9 games.

    Is tanking really worth it now? The Blazers seem to be solidly in the 11th spot, 2 games (losses) from 12th, and 2 games from 10th. Moving to 10th would give 3 extra number combos out of 1000 number combos. Will trying to win games give the team good draft lottery karma? Either way I don't believe in karma, mojo nor voodoo. Also, am I simplifying things too much? I can't bring myself to root against the team during the game, even though I buy into the reasons for tanking. Let the ping pong balls (or number combos are whatever) fall where they may. Go Blazers!

    You call this a game thread? I had to go to Wendy's, but it's everyone's duty to watch the game and post.

    The game ended 3 hours ago. 58 posts so far. Now that I think of it, I saw a lot of nefarious characters jostling me for my chicken sandwich. I think that's a clue to where this message board was. I thought they were just a harmless bike gang, but I better be more cautious if it's posters from here.
