PrintDon't look now, but it's another game. Tonight, a rested Orlando Magic play the Portland Trail Blazers (Tip off 7:10pm). Believe it or not, the Magic have been hanging around town since their last game Sunday. On the third game in four nights, can the Blazers keep up with Orlando?
Injury report: All's quiet.

but on the real, Ryan Anderson has been playing well
and is currently in contention for the most improved player award.

Omg, it’s hilariously disgusting. It’s an energy drink w/ alcohol, but they outlawed a certain variant of it, and now it no longer has the “energy-boosting” ingredients

Aka, caffeine...
And yeah 4 lokos suck, but then again, I’m a complete beer snob and won’t drink anything that isn’t a semi-local microbrew.

the orange flavor was delicious! My roommate got so hyped up on these he almost moved out due to pure rage from the alcohol/caffeine combo.

Aww. I was thinking about that today.

they still have a ton of bad contracts though
if I was Orlando, I would NOT trade with the Lakers, instead opting to get as many young guys and picks as possible from a team. No need to get a good guy with a hefty contract with Bynum, when you could get some guys with high ceilings and rookie contracts, and a couple lottery picks in the future

It's a really tough situation for them.
They never got a true second option for Howard but not for lack of trying. Still, some of those deals they picked up are just such prayers I have a hard time feeling that sorry for them.

#52--------I believe in Greg Oden
I feel like the blazers can win this one
orlando’s good enough that the blazers will bring their A game but their arguably not as good as the LAkers or OKC who we’ve already beat pretty comfortably at home
They are nowhere near as good as those teams
1 2 3 blowout!!
La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
For me, it's about the combination of talent and energy
Portland has talent, but they should be way more tired than Orlando. However, it’s in Portland. Hard to say what will happen.
Good call.
Last night was a weird game.
Orlando has some X factor players too. Plus, doesn’t Reddick light us up every year?

while waiting for the game to start, I'm currently watching Masters of Horror "The Washingtonians"
and it sucks.
I’m looking for some horror movies in the vein of:
Cube, 9 Dead, Breathing Room, House of 9, Exam, Fermat’s Room, 13 Tzameti, Eden Log, Battle Royale, etc. (some would say the Saw series).
Any suggestions?

Takashi Miike annoys me, though i like Ichi

Good call. We're waiting for syndication at this point
Since Hulu bought exclusive rights to Community streaming. We watched season 1 then got distracted, so we’ll just set a season pass for the syndicated episodes.
Unless they don’t get a season 4. Then no syndication, and I need to rent the DVD’s.
I really want to watch
your $60 dollar movie.

"I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all."
by thankyouforblaze on Jan 11, 2012 6:13 PM PST up reply actions
I haven't been tempted either
I’m under-impressed with their selection, and they still force commercials.
Plus I don’t appreciate that they require Plus to use the TV streaming options. Offer the basics for free, and if people are impressed, they’ll be more likely to sign up, not less.
Yep, that's their argument
And I just think they’re wrong. Netflix streaming took off because they literally offered their services to any electronics manufacturer who wanted to add it. Hulu may have been a bigger competitor if they’d done the same.
maybe hulu
should never have been free to begin with? with netflix you dont feel ripped off by having to pay for extra things
I don't mind paying extra for hulu, honestly
Though when I’ve checked the Plus selection, I think “is this it?”. That’s not even getting into the commercials
For me, it’s more about the ability to stream to a given device. They actively discouraged the ability to add hulu to devices for over a year. They relented when they added the subscription plan. So, why not just let people stream both? You’d have a year of people already using the service, and ready to just start paying.
I feel it’s a side effect of Hulu itself, since they’re owned by the media companies. They like their control.
And the ability to stream to a device is basically the only reason I pay

I believe only the KONG6 games are in HD. KINGDT2 doesn’t have an HD feed.

The closest they ever got was Clyde
He was voted into the All Star starting lineup by the fans. So for me, that qualifies as Superstar. Unfortunately, we never got to find out if Brandon’s popularity would build up to reach that point.

as once being an emo-ish kid
I take offense to calling Kobe emo. Elitist, maybe, but he has toned down the whole attitude act as he’s gotten older.

I think he ostracized himself
hence, the elitism and the feelings of superiority over others
awkward is more Derrick Rose, who is a sweet kid who has come out and said he will not recruit for his team— for his entire career.

Kaman or Okafor?

what do u think that would take?
Batum, Babbitt, & Armon plus a second rounder?
Some how the salaries have to match (up to 120 or 150%, can’t remember), and Camby is currently our best asset, though i doubt they want to trade one Center for another old veteran center

Dont want Okafor. What we have now is better. Without camby, were not where we are.

right, thats why Okafor is perfect.
he splits mins at the C with Camby; we can have Camby or Thomas play mins at the 4 during Aldridge rests on the bench, and maybe he’d play 3-5 less a game; the Rhino plays a couple mins less, as does KT and Camby.
Since New Orleans would not want Camby back in an Okafor trade, we’d likely be able to keep him for this season, while not resigning him next season, unless to a much more reasonable contract (less like his current contract, more like KT’s contract)
"I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all."
by thankyouforblaze on Jan 11, 2012 6:36 PM PST up reply actions
they would take Camby for Okafor in a heartbeat
and give us a 1st
if we were foolish enough to take his contract
La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
i hope we do get a young talented center soon tho.
haveing our future rely on camby, thomas, and oden makes me uncomfortable
What about that one guy named Freeland?
"Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right. "
i dont even know his playing style?
is he a back to the basket type player. or is he dirk european style
he won euro MVP, which is no easy feat. averaging 7 boards a game.
"Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right. "
Euro MVP?
That’s almost as impressive as WNBA MVP.
by Respect 58 on Jan 11, 2012 6:53 PM PST via Android app up reply actions
plus hes got a loaded contract.
"Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right. "
probably something along those lines
it would depend on their take on Batum. Hate to lose Batum and I’ve never said I’d trade him before…but for the sake of the season (having Crash now) I’d do it
No
we give Camby, they give us a first
they have been trying to GIVE him away for a few years ala Fat Al Jefferson, but have gotten no takers
it is a well known fact that he Is available to any team that has the capspace, trade exception, or expiring contract to take his bloated contract off their books
dont you dare talk about giving up Batum for us
we would be the joke of the league
La Illaha Illallah Muhamadur Rasulallah
lol
I very much doubt they’re giving him away.
he’s currently averaging 29 mins, 8 points, 8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, with a PER north of 15. His $12mil contract is only 2 million over Camby’s, and he’s 9 years younger. It’s like Andre Miller versus Raymond Felton. It looks very good over the long term.

Dwight Howard
Is a breath of fresh air compaired to that Griffin chump. Not as far as a work load or competitive advantage but from a character standpoint. I really like Howard. He is really funny and seems like a genuinely nice guy. That being said, I hope we crush him Ivan Drago style.
Hot sauce in my bag.
Griffin's Ego is so big now it's bigger than Felton's belly.
Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.
Yeah, I was really suprised by what a flopper he is
with Pauls bad attitude on that team they are headed straight for the lottery
how long before Paul demands a trade?

Watching from seattle
Can I get a confirmation that this game is or is NOT possible to watch in seattle? It doesn’t appear to be on CSNNW, KGW apparently doesnt broadcast in seattle, and blazerstv tells me that I should be watching it on comcast.
Both teams played hard, but one team played harder.
I just got here
200 comments already WOW
its gettin hot in here

Who am I?
Uhhhhh we are looking to go to Lamarcus early. Uhhhhhh Gerald needs to bring energy and uhhhhh give us a lift. Uhhhh we are going to uhhhhh need uhhhhh some good minutes from our bench and uhhhhhh hopefully feed uhhhhh off the crowd. Uhhhhh the Rose Garden gives us a huge boost and uhhhh we are going to need it.

Blazers in HD on League Pass Tonight
Sweeeeet….Blaze fan in Maryland here
I would prefer it if we could score more than zero points....but that is just me..
LET THE LAMONSTER ERA BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Hopefully...Ive grown quite fond of Mike and Mike
Although I must say that my local games with the Wizards have some of the best announcers, Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chanier
Rice has a cult following
T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.
this could be an ugly game tonight
are yall prepared for that? Hopefully, we crush them but we might have tired legs. This could be Batums night however. He didnt get much minutes last night and should be fairly fresh for todays game. Ive been waiting for him to go off and assert himself, but we shall see. One thing for sure, this aint the same Orlando team as in the past. They are good but not great, and definitely not better than we are.

Wheels is Bipolar
When we’re good he is upbeat and lively. When we are losing he sinks into a state of deep depression, saying things like “if we played so and so every night he would be an Allstar.”

Im pretty sure Patty Mills has just slipped into the stadium

I know that.
But why hop a plane to the US? Its not like he has a house there or anything, and now he finds himself in Portland?
think about it
because he's a blazer fan
and he wants a spot on the roster
Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
Im not saying he is blazer bound, but he would not go all the way to the US
unless it was worth his while
I hope I dont get a warning for what im about to say
were about to bury these bums!
this aint no weak eastern conference

Awww…Too bad. Might have to listen to music, these guys already sound like wankers. Matt Goukas and some other herb
you should put on wheels on 750thegame.com
