    Even I will be impressed if they beat the nets.

    Ya this seems like everything is pointing towards a loss tonight. Pierce/KG should be back and well rested after getting their last game off. They're back home, and we're coming off a tough OT game and the team got in pretty late last night. Not sure what's up with Deron, though.

    If we win tonight, I'll be ready to crown this team. :MARIS61:

    Nets are 2-1 at home. Just like us they only have one home loss. They've had a lot of difficult games so far, I expect them to turn things around. Unfortunately I think this will be a loss for us.

    Why'd we get in late last night? The game was early as hell.

    Anyone know what the stats are for the Lopez brothers in head to head matches?

    "This will be the eighth time twin brothers Robin and Brook have played each other in their careers, and the first since Robin joined the Blazers. Robin holds a slim 4-3 edge in the head-to-head matchup, but Brook has better individual statistics as he's averaging 18.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, while Robin is averaging 11.1 points and 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks." - Joe Freeland/OregonLive

    Odds makers go for what will make them money, not always who will win.

    Lopez - out
    Williams - out
    AK47 - out
    Garnett - probable
    Pierce - game-time

    Is it just me, or does this remind you of a scene from Beneath the Planet of the Apes..?

    East coast bias and the belief that Portland is not a good team..

    I think this game will speak volumes to who we really are for a couple reasons:

    1) In previous years we almost always seem to play down when the opponent is missing key players.

    2) Back to back, on the road, against a veteran team

    People have said in previous games this year that "these" are the games that we normally lose. But if memory serves me correctly THESE (see 1 & 2 above) games are the ones that we have struggled with and it always drive me crazy. So whether win on lose how we play will say a lot and a win even more so.

    I wonder why so many people are picking the nets on our board? They aren't even that good all together.

    First game back from the road trip for them... we should (operative word there) have an easier time.

    Didn't Rice tweet that delay was due to OT and having to get through customs? Think they got in at like 11 or something going by the tweets. Game ended by like 3:30. Which is crazy cuz it's like 45 min flight from TOR to JFK
