    Good game to get going on the road. Never underestimate a Popovich basketball team.

    The spread is -7 for us and the money line on us is -245 for us and +205 for them so Vegas sees us as at least a 2 to 1 favorite to win this one... they're really incentivising gamblers to bet on a San Antonio win. The over/under is 230.

    I like that over. -7 is too big of a line to be confident in it not getting spoiled in garbage time. Gun to my head though I’m taking Blazers -7. I’d likely stay away

    Yep, they have won 3 in a row. Interesting since that was coming off of an 11-game losing streak. (and 16 of 17)

    So if GP2 went out and played 10-12 min tonight what would happen to him? He’d get re-injured?

    He'd have to be re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

    spurs won three in a row (rockets, heat & cavs)

    rockets suck, so no surprise there, but they won in miami and although miami sucks right now, its still a big surprise and then they won at home vs cavs who are 3rd seed as of now

    games vs spurs & okc are trap games and will be competitive, we cant underestimate these teams

    The Rockets did suck but do they suck now? In the last 10 games, only 2 western teams have a better record during that stretch.
    (Memphis and NO)

    Rockets will be in play-in race if they keep playing like this.

    C’mon Blazers, you can’t lose this game. Must win before we go to Dallas

    There is no such think as a fucking "must win" game until late in the season and there are a lot of them in the playoffs but right now... get a grip. The only thing our guys need to do is come out with a sense of urgency and show that they're going to take these upcoming games against teams with losing records seriously but throughout Dame's career we've done extremely well against teams that we're supposed to beat.
