Take the beating like a man, reilo. Blazers ain't shit.

 

[ratcliffja]

Holy crap, throw Perkins out. What a dickhead.

Careful what you wish for. When he goes out, OKC gets much better.

 

[pilonv1]

Temped to hope for a Rockets win and a Lakers loss tonight. It's for the greater good

I'd rather that OKC play better than one of our players miss a few games with a concussion.

Edit: Elbow and forearm is part of the ball.

I'm tempted to do the same, but I'm still worried about a potential first round match-up with Golden State. They're the one team in the west against who I don't think we could win a series.

 

[jobber]

Is it wrong i want to see the Rockets and Warriors start brawling?

 

[diehard]

he might be stupid but Westbrook against Tinsley is just .. unfair?

Let's be honest...how many matchups does Tinsley look to be favored in anyway?

Chandler will get jealous of all the love Lin gets from Bay Area peeps

OKC?

 

[The Frankman]

If they beat the Knicks tomorrow I'm organizing the parade.

Gay vs. Anthony should be a battle.

 

[Cloudy]

The fuck is OKC doing?

 

[jjasper]

Cousins could be so good if he would just grow up.

 

[rinse82]

 

[Dominican Power]

Gay vs. Anthony should be a battle.

Raptors are gonna run all over The Knicks.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Reilo you salty sonafabitch you really think that the Blazers had a chance against the Heat at their home? With these refs???? Hahahaha

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Gay vs. Anthony should be a battle.

Yeah. Too bad the rest of the matchups won't be so hot. Chandler's getting 30 rebounds.

 

[ratcliffja]

OKC?

We nearly beat them once in OKC. We played much worse when we played them at home, but we didn't have CP3. We beat them 2/3 times last year, too. They'd be tough, but I think we could beat them in 7 games. I'm not saying it would be likely, but it's feasible. Golden State just has our number this year and shoot way too well from 3 for us to hang with them for 7 games.

if Casey plays Val I think it'll be ok...

but the way casey manages his minutes is mysterious so who knows.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

too bad this didn't count.

still need to find a gif where he ran over 3 blazers and dunked.

Check our $tat$, yo.

I had to listen to the game on the radio. Inglis had an awesome call for that dunk. He's like, "That rim needs a doctor." LOL!

Oh yeah. Hey Reilo...how's my ass taste? PEACE

 

[jobber]

Suns win by 5

 

[ratcliffja]

Check our stats, yo.

I know you shoot well from 3 as well, which is why I still say it's unlikely that we'd beat you. Still, I think we have a decent shot if Westbrook is turnover-happy and not hitting his shots. The one oddity is the Spurs. On paper, they should be by far our worst matchup. From what I've seen, they're a great outside shooting team that doesn't turn the ball over much while our best games are ones in which we force a lot of turnovers and don't give up a lot of 3 pointers. The fact that we're 2-0 against them this year is kind of bizarre.

Clips are huge underdogs against OKC or SA, period. Trust me, I hope you guys knock the Spurs out, but I just don't see it.

The scary thing is that Westbrook hasn't been in Y NOT mode much this year, and our ball movement is excellent. Combine that with our fast break ability and FT proficiency and we're damn tough to stop.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Starting to remember why I don't watch OKC games...

Westbrook is easily top 5 annoying material. Definitely current era. Encroaching on all time.

I'd give us a 30% chance of knocking off OKC, 20% chance against the Spurs, and 2% chance against Golden State.

 

[diehard]

omg Tinsley hit an open jumper

 

[Dominican Power]

Jazz fans are always whining about something.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, probably all-time top 5.

 

[diehard]

Jazz fans are always whining about something.

I generally stick to whining about my own team.

I want to be more like Knux

 

[ratcliffja]

It's not them. It's just that every good team in the NBA is home to the most annoying players possible. Unless they get traded to the Jazz at some point.

 

[KingGondo]

Sounds about right.

As for this game: hard to watch. Even when we get stops Utah gets an offensive rebound and an open three attempt.

 

[jobber]

100% healthy Clips would beat us in 7

That's why we gotta keep dat HCA

Don't tell me that you actually think that the Clippers are not an annoying team.

Watching Westbrook is just stressful. He bull rushes your players nonstop as he jumps into them for fouls. It's garbage play. If he's not doing that, he's doing a jump pass or an ill-advised pull up jumper.

As a fan of the opposing team, I'm happy that he goes into YNOT mode, but Durant is on fire and Westbrook still thinks it's on him to take over.

Inglis is the probably one of the most pessimistic radio announcer I've ever heard. Everytime the Heat are down he acts like its the end of the world

We have yet to play a single game this season 100% healthy. Even in the one game against Miami with a full roster, half of our players were either still nursing injuries or very rusty.

 

[jobber]

how long is chinese new year?

they've ben wearing those warm ups since Friday

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Nah Clips entire roster are legit shitbags.

 

[jjasper]

Tank to the four seed. I give us about a 5% chance to beat Denver in a series (although I guess it could go up with the new look) and about a 90% chance against Golden State.

 

[ratcliffja]

Everybody on our team that I don't like is a former Laker.

you beat us 2 times already in convincing fashion...once when were weren't gimped

 

[Jeff-DSA]

And call me crazy, but even when OKC is playing against the Jazz, I'd like to see Durant not get denied by that dumb crap "PG" of his.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Blake Griffin never played for The Lakers. Chris Paul never "played" for LA either.

Two good players hell bent on being total clowns.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

earl is playing?

Ok it's now at the point that if the Jazz lose this i'm blaming you.

Right on cue Durant does the arm swing rip move.

I'm sorry.
