    Let's surprise the Lakers and throw out the Mike Barrett lineup. That is where he defends the Blazers losing to a team who just played their scrubs because 'we didn't have any film on them', or, 'there is a natural let down when the other teams stars are out'.

    Using that logic, I want to see lots of Gabriel, Mario, Trent, Ant and Adams and we should shock the world!

    Why not?
    Then go with the starters against their second unit.
    Could it be worse than starting down 15-0?

    Maybe he should go to Lakersground and introduce himself. Hell, probably already has a Moniker over there.

    @Darkwebs should put "anyone but the L*kers" as an option to choose.

    If the Lakers win the Blazers can say they were beat by the champs.
    Still not enough for me to go there but it would happen.

    Postponing a game isn't much of a protest. Cancel it! End the season with the Blazers still in the playoffs!
