If Kawhi and George are out this is close to a must win. It will have seeding implications later in the season and we have to take advantage of those injuries to their best players. I think if both of them are out, we are the better team. I'd love to see Sharpe break out of his funk with some home cooking.

I hate these types of games. No pressure whatsoever for the Clips and you know the 3 x-Blazers will be playing their asses off against their former team. Mann has been playing well and Reggie Jackson always seems to play well against us as do Morris and Zubac.
This will be a dogfight and the Blazers better not take it for granted.

After going for 31 points and 29 rebounds last game he mostly certainly could.

I don't think we are recognizing how well Grant is playing this season so far.

He keeps this up and it won't stay a secret much longer. Bane is a surprise to see there too. He can flat out shoot.

You are working for the Clippers at the Moda center for a Blazers home game? Don't the Blazers need you?

Green don't lie though. Gotta make it where you gotta make it.
