    Ugh. I always go into PHX games with like "How the heck we gonna lose this one?"

    Last year, man... lol.

    I think we'll win, but this PHX team...

    Perhaps this fact from the game notes will make you feel a little better: "The Trail Blazers have won eight of their past 10 games against the Suns at home dating back to 2008-09. "

    :)

    This game is sneaky important for multiple reasons.

    1) We haven't had a quality win over a Western Conference foe in what seems like forever
    2) After this home game, Portland heads on the road to play in Dallas and Houston
    3) Phoenix has our number, plain and simple. It's time to show we can beat the Suns.

    Dame finally shot over 40% last night (he shot over 50). Some of those 3pt shots needs to go down

    Is there any way to find out the coaches' votes for All Star?

    Had a feeling Snyder from the Jazz snubbed him. Think Hornacek from the Suns is another.

    We should handle the frontcourt fine tonight. The backcourt matchups are where it will be won or lost imo.

    Need to get back to being a top defensive team again, that solves most of our woes.

    Dame averages 5.2 FTA per game, he shot 8 last time these two teams met. Going to set the over/under at 7.5 for tonight. What yall got?

    I'll take the over.
