    Plumlee, no question. I love that Dame looks to pass after driving the lane, but Mason makes some natural passes that remind me of that Larry Bird video that was shared earlier. He has holes in his game, but he can pass the ball. If you compare the usage rates for Plumlee versus our point guards, his assists per game are amazing.

    I have a feeling how this one will go. I'm hoping for a win obviously but we haven't really beat a good team this season unfortunately so I have no reason to think otherwise

    Just don't get down by 40+ please. CP coming off a 20 assist, 0 turnover game. Clipper scorekeepers and all, that's still amazing no matter how you slice it.

    This has the feeling of a bad end to a bad road trip.

    We just need a single good (convincing) road win I feel like. The NBA season comes at you fast. You develop a habit of dropping big leads, the whole thing can blow up.

    Just as easy to start a run of wins.

    We need to play a full 48 mins tonight and get a convincing road win. Then carry that forward for the rest of the month. Every win streak starts with a single victory.

    Get ready for 3 quarters of good blazers basketball! Maybe we should have been a hockey team.

    Most of the Portland forum members stop posting here much when you're on the road for some reason

    I'm just having a hard time getting as invested in this roster and I didn't think that'd happen. Hopefully they'll turn it around and I'll see more of an identity..

    I am filling in for a guy at work tonight and won't see the game. I believe that the Blazers usually win when I can't see the games, so there's a chance!
