    Dang @Chris Craig you sure know how to start jinx Game thread with a question like that. NEVER Question a streak in any capacity.

    Cut down on the turnovers and they can build on the streak.

    I think this game should be a win. So that will be three in a row before we have a hard stretch of home games.

    I think Jonas will have his way with Nurk and most likely Nurk gets 3 fouls by the early second quarter and is nonexistent the rest of the game.

    Why you gotta get a picture of Willie Green during an obvious existential crisis moment?

    As I said before the Grizzlies game, right now with this current team we are at least competitive. Keep going, Blazers!

    Yes we are competitive right now because we not so small out there majority of the time and Dame is on roll and there been another player scoring big with him. But Dame might not play tomorrow because of hamstring tightness.

    If you can't beat the current Pels, who can you count on for a W?
