    Staying in with the wife and watching some Blazers basketball!

    IIRC, Dame and CJ combined to outscore their Utah counterparts in the backcourt, 62-16 in a Blazer win in Salt Lake City earlier this season. I hope Dame continues to rest, but CJ and Crabbe will do their best to replicate that backcourt domination on New Year's Eve.

    Just got into SLC. It's a balmy 13 degrees as I type. These Utah/Denver back to backs are brutal.

    I hope Mason Plumlee leaves his shadow all over Jeff Withey. I'm voting for a Plumlee spectacular event :beatinto:

    2 years ago, Dallas was the #8 seed in the West with 49 wins. Currently, Utah is on pace to get the #8 seed with.....35.5 wins. That is disgusting for all the reasons I railed against the East for years for getting in teams that didn't deserve it. Just because a lot of the Conference is crappy doesn't mean a team like Utah or Portland should qualify as a Playoff team. That is exactly what puts a team in purgatory and keeps them down for a long time. So a team that really should be in the Lottery, makes the playoffs, gets crushed and then gets no help.

    If Portland is going to make a playoff run, at least have it be a respectable one. I'm all for qualifying for something that is worthy....not just clearing a low bar.

    If it does not hurt Dame's recovery, he needs to play. I have a bad feeling about this one. We will need Dame tonight.

    The holding Dame out of games tank strategy is backfiring. Maybe he should play? :evilfire:

    I predict Vonleh will have his best game so far as a Blazer tonight against the Jazz.

    I'm excited for tonight's game. First (& likely only) game for me for the season.

    Trying to get the kids fed so I can leave.... Going to watch the Blazers win

    Dame's abysmal 4th quarter shooting has been killing the team. Maybe he will WTF up now.
