    Big game. Then three days off. All Star break soon. Lots of healing time for Turner without losing him for many games.

    BOS on second of back to back after a bad loss to the Boogie-less Kings last night.

    I bet they will have a 15 point lead in the first quarter.

    Have we ever started Harkless and Vonleh together? I don't think we have this year, and last year I think Aminu started when Noah started. I wonder if that helps our rebounding. Just don't focus on feeding either of them the ball early just to get them involved. If it happens in the natural flow of the offense....fine

    CJ and Dame need to call their own numbers right out of the gate. Their role is to score, so the sooner they heat up....the better.

    Isaiah Thomas has been on a rampage this season. Averages 30 a game on 46 percent FG, 38 percent from three

    I took 3 extra hours at work so I get off at 10.

    Knowing the blazers inconsistency this year, They are probably going to take 3 hours off of work starting at 7:30.

    I picked Harkless for the starter after the Dallas game on Tuesday when ET phoned home...I think he is the best option. When Crabbe starts he seems to get losses in the fray and Aminu needs to stay behind Vonleh. I love that 5 of you (at the time of this post) picked Layman. Did we recall him get? He should get some playing time. I'd rather see him out there then Connaughton who by the way, I have no idea how he made the poll and received 2 votes.

    What are the odds of Thomas going over 50 pts tonight? Put me down for over.

    I feel like we either see Dame go off. Isaiah Thomas go off. or both.

    Another thing to take into consideration. Isaiah Thomas is crazy in the 4th quarter, been using Dames dame time gesture. I think Dame might be a bit bothered by it so we might see a very competitive dame tonight. Yeah I went deep on this one but you never know, I could see Dame secretly taking it personal

    Why hasn't layman been recalled? We don't even have 12 healthy bodies.

    And it's bullshit that Meyers is about to get ANOTHER chance.
