    I hope our team shows what they're made of and comes out with some fire against Denver after that disaster in OKC. Let's swipe the season series away from these guys. GO BLAZERS!!!

    Not sure that you'll have to. Our team could show up and beat any team in the league on any night and as we've just seen they can not show up and lose to any team in the league on any night. The last two games were rough but I expect that to light a fire in our guys that wasn't there in OKC. We've beaten the Nuggets already this season so we'll see what happens on Friday.

    I see something different than you. I see us 1. starting the season with some lucky breaks 2. then encountering some unlucky breaks and now 3. we’ve exposed for what EVERYONE expected us to be, ie not great.

    I feel like those last two are the kind of losses that will either cause a team to implode or start to actually want to win.

    Plan on heading home immediately after the game tomorrow night, hope we can get in. My daughter sent me a text informing me that I have had only 10 days off at home in the last 53.... this shit can be a grind sometimes. Would suck to spend Christmas out here on the road. My wife birthday is the 24th, so that would suck to miss as well.

    Denver is tough at home. Blazers want to be home for xmas; no fight in these guys. This will be a blowout from the get go.

    What team is GREAT this season in the NBA. None of them.
    They've all been "exposed."
