    I think we get Nurk and JG more involved while Dame dominates and Ant has at least an average game by his standards... and we kick their asses. See I don't think we have to dig deep, I think we have to show up with some intensity and this one won't be as close as the last one was.

    Hope so. I just know getting two in a row against any team in the league is tough. That last loss bumped them down to 11th in the western conference and has the Blazers sitting alone in 6th.
    If the T-Wolves can win this game they got to be thinking about this as a divisional game as well as a conference game.
    I know it's a page out of @KSF-ERIC playbook but divisional and conference games are starting to make a difference. I'm pretty certain both teams will play very hard in this game.

    That is very true until it's same conference and same division. This game has some value so while losing it may not be season ending or anything like that winning it might make things a bit easier in March and April.

    Blazers haven't actually played on Star Wars Day since 1999. Would be awesome if they could this year.

    yes, but we are playing against a division rival at home while they're missing their best player, and we're relatively healthy. this should be a win.

    going up 2-0 in the season series would be big.

    he's not on the injury list according to the team. could get a DNP-CD, but he's available.

    @Chris Craig suggest you somehow integrate this account's feed into the game threads if possible...

    No. I made these early when he still was. I have had Covid and forgot to edit.
