Last time I made one I got beat so I'm posting 20 hours in advance. Hope nobody minds

Nice GT. Gotta love our schedule, another back-to-back on the road trip. :nonono:

We really have played a stupid amount of road games.

True that, tonight will be our 16th, and when we finish this road trip we'll be at 18 with only 11 home games. Next month we have 9 at home, 5 away with some winnable games against Nets, Bobcats, Wizards, Clippers & Raptors.

Oath. This one might be winnable considering everything that's gone on with the Blazers but I won't hold my breath.

It's winnable, but I always worry about road games. Portland isn't the force they were the prior two seasons due to injury, but they're still a battling team that will fight and eke out wins.

Sorry for the OT but Tha Juice, your signature is priceless.

About damn time I'll finally catch a game again. I'll probably be out drinking before the game starts, though.

Nice gamethread Juice Man! Never hurts to have a thread up a little early.

We've been up on so many good teams so far this year, can we even consider any game not "winnable"? I mean, every game I feel like this team has a shot, cause they've shown they can play with anybody. They just can't finish anything.

Yeah, but now Stringer Bell is back, and he's cold blooded. Ordering the executions of Wallace and D'Angelo? DAMN String! I hope he has that ice water in his veins when it comes time to close out his old team.

I've been really happy with his production, even in limited time. Can't wait until Rambis decides he's ready to take all of Brewer's minutes; Webster should be playing 30-35 minutes a game.

I was under the impression that it was the medical staff that's limiting his minutes...or maybe I just assumed that. Is it Rambis or the medical staff that is limiting his playing time at the moment? However, I also am a huge fan of what I've seen out of him so far in 2 games. I think I've been underestimating the impact he could have for us. He's probably our most poised, polished and well-rounded player.

Seeing as injury-prone Stringer Bell appears to be I'd rather take it slow on him and not rush anything.

Understandable. I'm just itchy to get Brewer to the end of the bench where he belongs.

The season will be one third over after this game. Wow.

No Brandon Roy tonight, he's sitting out the next 3 games because of his knee (no cartilage).
We have a chance. Maybe we'll get to see some rudy fernandez.

Darko vs camby/vanilla gorilla is the matchup of the night.

Post #18 » by **Calinks** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 10:17 pm

Its on TV! We will get to 100 first and get smashed. We have almost done that more times this season than has happened in franchise history!

They still have alot of weapons and Love never seems to have big games in Portland.

I feel like Matthews and Aldridge are going to destroy us.

Love's getting 30 tickets for family and friends in his return to his hometown.

How many is Martell Webster getting for his first game back in the city where he played his first five NBA seasons.

"Just the two (comp) tickets I usually get," he said. "These emotions all these people expect me to have, it's not there. I'm over it. It's happened. I'm with my team now."
