    This will be a back-to-back pair of games, both in Minnesota.

    After giving away the game to the Suns, we gotta get these next 2 against the lowly Wolves, who have lost 13 of their last 15 games.

    There won't be much variety in Portland's next 6 games. They'll play 2 games at the Wolves, then 2 versus the Pels, and finally 2 against the Mavs.

    The association.... I would love the Statement jerseys, except for the stripes look line 'tire tracks'.

    The City and Earned are both bad.
    The best one of all were these Rip City ones from a couple years ago.

    In the least, I expect only two losses and that would be against the Pelicans and the Mavericks..

    Mavs are going to be a problem in the 2nd half of the season.

    Minny just beat the Pels by 30. This isn't going to be a cakewalk, but with how we play against the good teams, these two are must-wins.

    seems like 3 months

    however, calf "soreness" could just be from the process of getting into game condition and ramping up the workload

    unless minnesota shoots extremely well or blazers shoot extremely bad, there will be no excuses for not winning both of these games

    minneosta is terrible, plain and simple
