    Just looking over the remaining schedule, I don't think 45-48 wins is out of the question.

    Also think the Pelicans are the team we go down to the wire with.

    Both have the combination of better health + performance + schedule to make a massive late season run.

    Saw something on the Nuggets' blog and looked it up, and it's true: Melo has never won in Denver in his career as a road player.

    And he's played pretty well for the most part, but no wins. He's due.

    Blazers need this game. Even though they have been on a roll, in the last 10 games, they haven't gained any ground on Memphis or OKC as all three teams are 7-3 over that stretch. With Denver missing some pieces tonight, the Blazers need to take advantage of this game during this tougher team stretch.

    With Plumlee and Milsap out, Portland has to dominate the boards. Give Wenyen some time to frustrate/foul Jokic. He should be able to frustrate him with his length. Let Caleb in there to throw guys around.

    Terry: don't let Dame get trapped! I like the setups that don't force Dame to be the primary ball handler and avoid the half court traps. If he doesn't have the ball he can't be trapped. Let Anfernee and CJ bring it up if they insist on trapping Dame. Dame works as well off the ball from a screen as he does from a pull-up 3.

    Final note: Porter Jr. is perpetually injured. Feel bad for him.

    Only 11 games back of the division lead! Road of 11 games starts with a single victory!

    OK, @Darkwebs , maybe I missed the joke somewhere, but does the Blazers logo in the OP say "baksetball" as if my 2 y/o is saying it?

    Aiight imma just say it

    The city jerseys suck this season. I thought I would love them but for some reason I ended up hating them. The statement jerseys suck too, the white stripe ruins the whole thing.

    1. Icon
    2. Classic..the ones they’re evidently wearing tonight
    3. Association
    4. City
    5. Statement

    But my favorite of recent times were these babies

    I'd rank them like this:

    1. Association (white)
    2. City
    3. Classic (red 70's style)
    4. Icon
    5. Statement

    The stripe on the Statement jerseys ruin it completely.

    One thing I'll absolutely give Dame credit for, Blazer games are more "appointment viewing" for me in the last 2 weeks than they have been since I had season tickets and would count down the hours to drive down there. I was legit bummed yesterday having to watch LP and not have the Blazers coming up.
