    As much as I would like LaMarcus to go 'lunch-meat' on Kevin Love, this is more about winning the game against a division rival and a little payback for getting blown out in Minnesota.

    Lillard needs to resume his Killard status and the bench needs a game where they really contribute.

    Agree. Need this win. Need a big game from Lillard. Bench needs to make shots at home.


    But LA torching Love and exposing Love's bad defense would be nice little bonus for the night. :devilwink:

    I thought The HCP got to do the remedial games. (?)

    Lanny from Oregonlive is being honored tonight for being the long time super fan that he is.

    Has been a season ticket holder since day 1.

    LaMarcus likes to play with a chip on his shoulder. Love starting instead of him in the ASG should provide such a chip.

    Dame will be Dame tonight.

    Wes will want payback for the last one.

    This shit is about to get real.

    Should be an easy win. Minny spent all their effort in their first close win of the year last night in GS

    Yeah, that's been posted here. Conclusion: He needs a teardrop/floater and he needs to improve on passing out of the drive.

    I think Portland will blow Minny out of the Moda Center tonight, payback for their loss. Interesting stat on the drives. It is kinda pathetic. Damian really needs to improve that aspect of his game. He'd be averaging over 2 more points a game if he were only in the middle of that pack.

    Interestingly the win percentage of the team is higher for LA than Dame when he scores 30+. So I'm absolutely ok if LA goes 'lunch meat' on KLove. The numbers are there to supports such a cause

    Would be great to see Dame Dame be Dame Dame tonight.

    He hasn't looked real hot here of late.

    Wow, I didn't know that. Two things that are keeping Dame and Rubio from being top 5 point guards.

    To be fair, Lillard can at least hit shots... especially in the 4th.

    But Rubio also does everything else better (Keep in mind, I do think Lillard is better).

    Except for FT % and turnovers (though marginal)

    Anyway, we play two different systems, where Lillard is technically our PG, but Batum (and pretty much all of our starting 5) are facilitators in their own right. Still, 21/6 is not too bad.

    Unfortunately Love won't guard LA, Pekovic will.
