    It just messes me up man. Doesn’t matter how much sleep I get. I’m about to shower and try to go to sleep now. Tough when there is a club right across from our hotel that booms til 2am. Just had them bring up some ear plugs. If you see me on here posting past 7pm portland time......kick me off!

    Ya, on the road we are at the arena 7 hours before tip. At home 6 hours.
    Each city we are in we are in a different TV truck. A lot goes into setting up for a broadcast. Setting up cameras, mics for audio. I sometimes for my pregame highlights and packages in game am dipping into 10 different hard drives I travel. Interviews with players before warmups. Shoot the arrival bus shots.
    When you work on a TNT or ESPN broadcast we are there sometimes 12 hours before tip.

    Having been in the truck... I can vouch they need all the time. They have hcp working... they need a good hour for him to just get IN the truck.

    Sometimes the big motors take the longest to get warm. But when they run they get going the smoothest. Plus they get that inertia going.

    That Toronto game was a hard-fought battle. Let's see how the Blazers bounce back.

    Looking at the remainder of the schedule, only 6 of the final 20 games are against teams with winning records. Wow. If the Blazers beat the teams with losing records (14), and lose against the teams with winning records (6), the Blazers finish with a record of 52-30.

    It all starts with this game against Charlotte. Let's take care of business and get that W!

    52-30 would be extremely good for this team and this season.

    I honestly think 54 wins is achievable if we play the way we've been playing.

    I have to admit, we have been surprisingly consistent the last 6 games. Moe, CJ, Jake , Nurk and Enes have been all solid at the same time.
    We have not missed Evan Turner at all. I don't believe he will be missed, when he is finally shipped out of town next season.

    Did the Hornets give Batum $120 millions? They just need to buy him out. He barely contributes in scoring.
