Stop your whining, James, this is your pre-game show, dude!
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:00:54 PM
14 watchers, not a bad start
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:01:23 PM
Keep in mind, everyone, that for the most part, I'll only approve comments that are funny, informative, or that I feel like responding to.
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:02:39 PM
Except for halftime, when we'll have our "Halftime Free-for-all" when I'll approve pretty much every comment
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:03:09 PM
and post some fun videos, jokes, etc.
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:03:19 PM
Before losing to the Celtics on Friday, the Blazers had won their last six games, so it's not getting any easier for the Raptors today

Do you accept (or promote, rather) cursing, because there will be plenty of it.
by Maverick
Mav: Nobody told me we couldn't curse on here, but I know two of my bosses are tagging along so they can correct me if I'm wrong
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:04:36 PM
Portland is 3rd in offensive rating with 112.8 points per 100 possessions, but they're only 20th in defense so expect a lot of points on the board here
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:05:35 PM
2 bosses? Shades of Office Space, no?
by Brian
Brian: I'm going to need you to go ahead and put a cover sheet on the TPS report, OK?
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:05:54 PM
Whose the favorite today?
by Jonathan Keebler
Definitely Portland. They're en fuego lately and the Raptors are playing like hot garbage.
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:06:12 PM
Can't...someone has taken my stapler
by Brian
Well, don't burn the liveblog down, Brian. We'll get you a new Swingline
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:06:56 PM
they are 8-2 in the last 10...blazers

Looking good ... Btw minor cursing ok
by DaleFallon
That's one of my bosses. I'm not sure what "minor cursing" is. Does that mean only people under the age of 18 can swear?
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:08:03 PM
I say| "Fudge that"
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:08:18 PM
I like how I can edit posts for typos after I post them. I expect that will happen a lot
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:08:49 PM
Nice smell in my TV room as my 2-year-old obviously just took a nice big dump in his pants. Ahhh the glamorous life of a Score liveblogger
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:09:22 PM
What are realistic expectations for Triano in fixing this team in you view Scott?
by Dino"Big Baby" Blogger
Too soon to tell. I certainly didn't notice much of a difference last game
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:09:54 PM
Although they ran the floor a lot better
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:10:03 PM
more importantly how do I put a cool avatar next to my name??
by dekerf
You can click on the Profile link in the upper right of the screen
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:10:56 PM
No nudie pix in your avatar though, or your comments won't get through
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:11:14 PM
Hey, here's my winning strategy
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:11:24 PM
"Stop sucking donkey balls"
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:11:31 PM
We had more easy buckets last game than we did all this season so far
by Orestes
Yeah, too bad they gave up a ton
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:11:48 PM
Now my 2-year-old is behind me on the couch, kicking me in the back. That's not distracting at all
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:12:12 PM
rebounding is my key they got killed on the trip out west
by Dino"Big Baby" Blogger
and we're off

11:43 Jumper comes up short by O'Neal
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:12:52 PM
11:28 Aldridge opens scoring with a mid-range jumper

11:03 Oden rejects Bosh's short jumper
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:13:50 PM
I expect we'll see a lot of that
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:13:57 PM
10:34 Nice rebound by Bargnani on Oden's miss
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:14:20 PM
Out of curiosity, is it too early to start beating the Roy-Aldridge-Bargnani dead horse yet?
by Brian
I actually think Roy is the only one of those 2 that is clearly better right now
by Scott Carefoot at 12/7/2008 6:14:50 PM
10:23 O'Neal makes 2 free throws. Tied at 2-2
