This will be a step up in competition level, as the Heat are nowhere near as bad as the Pistons.

However, the Blazers will not have a day off, facing the Heat. Miami will have had 2 full days of rest.

But still, this is the type of game Portland needs to win to avoid the Play-In.

TBpup · Apr 10, 2021

I'm going to bet the 'Under' on 3o rebounds for Kanter against the heat.

What a tremendous performance. Thank goodness he gets some help in this game.

Starting Kanter against Bam would be a huge mistake in my opinion.

kjironman1 · Apr 10, 2021

Glad they sat Nurkic. Bam would not be a good matchup for Kanter.
Boy i sure do hope Collins gets healthy and back playing this season.
Blazers need to put the excuses down and go out and win another game.

I swear Darkwebs, some of your poll questions look like the product of overindulgence in CBD oil, Red Bull, and Nyquil

DDolla · Apr 11, 2021

Damn, I just don’t know about this game. Heat are not a garbage team

BigGameDamian · Apr 11, 2021

We're going to be chasing the ball in this game. The heat really like to move the ball.

Chris Craig · Apr 11, 2021

We barely beat them with Butler and Dragic out, not mention they now have Bjelica. Not going to be an easy game by any stretch of the imagination, especially on the second of a back to back.

I guess it's good Oladipo isn't playing at least.

Miami has been resting since Thursday after they beat the Lakers.

So you're saying it's a trap game.

I'm saying the Blazers need to come out with all cylinders firing.

I really should just all in on green font. Everyone is so serious around here.
Yes i agree they should come out and play tough all game. Not just that but they need another win right now. Boston just ripped the Nuggets hearts out.

Just no. I like Jason Terry, but no.

Ok c’mon Blazers let’s destroy a pretty good team.

Scalma · Apr 11, 2021

No joke I would like to see Nas guard Butler. Even if he gets worked.

Dom McBlazer · Apr 11, 2021
