    I think the Blazers were embarrassed enough by Yogi and the Boo-boo's that they'll actually show up from the tip-off and win this game.

    Can they sign guys to multiple 2 year contracts in the same year? Because Yogi is about to get paid again... he won't be able to sleep knowing the easy game he'll have.

    At least we're done with the Warriors, so we won't have to watch D-League superstar Briante Weber do bad things to the Blazers.

    Save your money, man. Don't reward mediocrity and apathy with your $ and emotional support.

    Maybe. Yogi had a great game, I'm sure he will look to replicate. Good on him.

    Yogi Ferrell was a finalist for western conference player of the week for his performance against Portland. Got beat out of course by Steph Curry who is co player of the week every week with Durant.

    I hope, one day, the Trail Blazers can acquire a Yogi Ferrell. We'll have to develop our own, because a small market like Portland isn't going to lure a Yogi Ferrell in free agency.
