Good thing LMA is back because, otherwise, this would probably be a 20-point blowout. As it is, the Blazers will be extremely hard-pressed to win the darned thing. Nonetheless.... GO BLAZERS!!!
On the contrary. I think our guys (especially Brandon) are going to show up huge tonight, with or without Lamarcus. I can't wait to watch Pendy guard Zach. I'm not saying he'll stop Zach, just that he'll make him work...
The deal is, Memphis is relatively rested on this trip. Case in point: 12/30 - They blew out (@)Indy 121-110 01/02 - They blew out (@)Phoenix 128-103 01/05 - vs. (@)Blazers That's only 3 games in 6 days....the previous two being blowouts, meaning resting players......very young, confident players at that. It's gonna be a war.
FYI Brandon tweaked his right hamstring in the GS game and he re-injured it last night in LA. I'm guessing he'll play but who knows.' Source
