    I’m so confused. You got a link or diagrams to help get your point across?

    Curious about the poll question, regardless of how you feel about Cousins as a person, he is one of the best bigs in the game. Shit, even Nurk would trade himself for Boogie in a second.

    18-20 wins in Portlands first 22 games is delusional.
    Portland is not that good, the roster is flawed. Everyone knew it was flawed coming into the season as well.
    To then see how strong the West got and still expect 18-20 wins in the first 22 games is silly.

    I didn't expect it, I am just saying its not as delusional as you make it out to be, as most the Blazers losses are close, and had they gone the other way, we could seeing such a record at this point or close to it.

    Yeah, sentiments exactly. Win while you can. The Pelicans are going to have Davis this time so its going to be tough...heck we barely beat them without him. Blazers need ro come to play. Wizards are going to want to avenge their loss to us a few weeks ago. Houston and the Warriors right after one another...damn...not cool NBA...if we can somehow get one of those games I'd be happy. If we somehow found a way to beat both Houston and GS my balls would find a way to drop again.

    Antony Davis Will not play this one. Suffer a injury tonight x jazz. Looks bad, but I hope he recovery quickly. And, must win game for us now.

    Not sure if it's just luck or whatever but we seem to be playing everyone without their best players this season. This will be the second time this season we play the Pelicans without Anthony Davis.

    Better take advantage of these situations.

    Gotta win games. Wolves lost to the wizards at their home without wall. You gotta win, players step up and make things hard.

    I hope I don't "trigger" anyone here, but expect to see Meyers in this game. Nurk and Vonleh will obviously get the bulk of the minutes, but that New Orleans frontcourt is going to draw some fouls. Front court will be a platoon unit. Maybe Meyers can draw a tech or two.

    If we 14-8 instead of 13-9 over our early schedule would anyone be overly-concerned?

    He may actually have a "Boogie" poster on his entertainment room wall.

    No. Either way. More Wins is scientifically better for any fan!
