    How about that win against the Sixers? The short-handed Blazers had to all come together and managed to pull off quite the upset.

    I know a bunch of players (like Dame, Trent, Enes, RoCo, etc.) had moments/plays late in the game that factored in the win. But I think it's obvious who deserves the game ball, who was most instrumental in the victory:

    Don't look now, but the Blazers have won 4 of their last 5 games, with 2 of those wins against the best team in the East.

    Now the Blazers host a team that has lost 7 of their last 8.

    While this may sound like a walk in the park, this is one of those rare back-to-back games at home, so the Blazers may have to battle fatigue, as well as Cleveland.

    Nassir was listed as available last game, but didn't play a minute. With this being the 2nd game in 2 night, perhaps he gets a run here.

    Can't let this one get away - another win gives us a cushion on the upcoming road trip.

    I prefer both kinds of wins. Sometimes I like a nice relaxing blowout. Other times I love the adrenaline of a game winning shot at the buzzer.

    As to the poll question - the tight ones are more fun, but the blowouts are better for my health.

    I need the blowout option to specify that it's a Blazers win before I answer the poll question... sorry.

    We absolutely DESTROY the Cavs in this game! Melo will be 5-28 from the field and Dame will only have to play 25 minutes. Let's ROLL!

    I think we need to hold our own on the boards for victory. But look like we are geling together right now and winning without CJ and Nurk and we getting a lot balance on the scoring right now. Yes Dame still getting his points but he doesn't have to go 50 points us to win.

    Blow out the Cavs and get rest for Dame while Ant, Little, Giles, etc get extended minutes.

    Dame had a weird night last night? Very hot 1st quarter. Ended up with 30.
    Tonight he will start slow and get players involved but will end up with over 30 on a big second half. They will need this because the team will slow down on the second of a B2B.
    Snow game? This will mess with a few players systems.

    we were 9-15 after 24 games last season. that record would put us 14th in the west this season.
