    Probably not the end of the world if Blazers lost, given the 4 games in 5 nights, but if they won against a full OKC team then it would be a great launching game for the playoffs.

    Are the Thunder resting guys? We went from an underdog to now a 3.5 point favorite.

    Don't think so. I read a report that the Thunder coach said they won't rest players unless they are injured.

    I got my sources working on it. There must be a reason they changed the odds.

    Actually it might of just been a bad opening line; still surprised we're such a favorite

    Getting Memphis is like a first round bye. Why wouldn't OKC want that?

    We have a better home record than they have a road record. Plus, we've been playing very well and we've already beaten OKC once this season.

    I thought it was because it was a nationally televised game...

    Ok if we lose this game.... very disappointing!

    These can be the tough games; 5 guys we have no tape on and are fully rested. We're playing our 4th in 5 nights. I'm glad their stars are out but not as confident as I was in the Miami game.

    Nice.

    I don't give a shit if everyone is out. If they want to forfeit, I'm good with that too. All I care about is the win.

    Shut down Kanter and we win. He should be our number one worry.
