    This will be a back-to-back game for the Kings, so that should give the Blazers an extra advantage.

    Re the poll, if it's not Blevins, one should have SERIOUS questions about who is putting the rest of the team together.

    The Kings are improved. This won't be easy.

    Just my opinion in the NBA there are very few easy games. I agree this won't be one of them but the Blazers can and should beat this team.

    Kings are playing well. The way we are playing, we can drop another L.

    Is Blevins actually on the team? Does he have a contract or is he Two Way? How does a two way work this season?

    It's a 2-way, but they made those very lenient this year due to Covid.

    Not gonna be easy at all. I want to see Dame on either Fox or Hield, don't try to hide him on Barnes or anything.
    Dame is the key to our defense and when he works hard on both ends his offense looks better as well

    This where Nurk needs to mop on there centers and you can throw Kanter in there we should have a big advantage there. I also think we can guard them straight up by position so I don't want to Jones guarding there 2 guard or Fox.

    I can't believe Whiteside's coming off the bench.

    I voted for the rook...he's made more mistakes than Blevins in games I've seen....he'll be better than Blevins but he's not there yet...the rook is still way out of his depth...Blevins doen't play like a deer in the headlights at all...he's just mediocre talent wise ...Elleby has tons of talent...just rookie jitters

    I was wondering about that as well but I don't think it will. Back to back home games without travel could very easily be an advantage. They are young and no one played big minutes. And they lost at home which will give them an extra incentive.
    If I was betting man, I would say it helps them more than it hurts them.

    This is why i have no problem with where this team is at. This longer home stretch is their only real time to practice. Teams are doing whatever they can on the road.
