    Gordon is another one of those players that seems to often do well against the Blazers. Paul always gives Dame fits and will try to do more with Harden out. Would really like to finish this trip 3-1.

    Second night of a road back-to-back for the Blazers. No time to savor the great win against the Pacers.

    Houston hasn't played since Friday, so the Rockets will have had plenty of time to rest up and prepare/game-plan for the Blazers.

    Blazers will be fortunate to face the Rockets without Harden, and possibly a few other Rockets players.

    It'll be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

    Dame dropping 30 on CP3’s head in a win for us would be the nicest possible way of finishing the road trip.

    This scenario hurt the Blazers against Miami. They need to keep it close until the 4th. Harden often kills the Blazers in the 4th so him not playing would certainly help, but I think they need to "ugly" it up.

    I hope Dame smacks Paul around with his 90 foot cock.

    And Nurk needs to grow a pair and teabag Capela and Melo on savage dunk from hell.

    You know he's still pissed about CP3 scoring in a blowout to end that game in Houston last year.

    Get some sleep. My Portland stream was absolute shit last night, and I blame your incompetence for it! I had to settle for Indiana's shitty commentary instead.

    CHOP CHOP! Do better!

    So sometimes I watch the opposing teams channel just to hear what they have to say. I was actually really impressed overall. Seemed like knowledgeable basketball guys to me.

    I cant imagine the logistics that have to happen to just get a team from one city to another, much less a back to back.

    98% of me was kidding. I didn't mind Indiana's broadcast, it was fine.

    Was pretty annoyed that I couldn't get Portland's broadcast to work properly though. But I lived.

    Now, if I have to listen to Houston's Broadcast.....you'll find me hanging from the nearest balcony by the end of the first quarter. :bgrin:

    I'm muting it and doing my own commentary.

    "There goes Chris Paul. OH he flopped. That fuckstick. Lillard steals, and SLAMS IT DOWN LIKE A MYTHICAL GOD."

    "And Chris Paul bitches. Again."

    With that stupid, confused "who, me? what?" look on his face. Like he woke up drunk behind a dumpster, and he thinks it's the fault of the homeless man laying next to him.

    Then he’ll hit Lillard and say he got spit on. Which will mean next time he walks into the Rose Garden with the way Blazer fans are he may want to choose to skip that flight.
