    ... this Cavs team doesn't even suck so we should be in real trouble after what we saw tonight against the team with the second worst record in the league. That being said I don't think we have any fucking clue what we're going to get from the guys on our squad from one game to another.

    I was looking to see if perhaps 3 starters were out for Cleveland.

    No such luck.

    As if we have had any success playing teams missing their star players in recent years.

    It DOES seem like we have played a TON of teams in recent years with them missing key guys, right?

    Blazers are that hungry team right now nobody wants to play. Lost 4 in a row. Cav fans are thinking this should be an easy win but some poster is writing that the Blazers actually are pretty good and this is a trap game.
    Never count Damian Lillard out.

    Mitchell gets 7o in regulation? Who's with me?
    They cannot beat CLE. Too long and athletic. I fully expect a 20pt deficit during the first half.
    I hereby count Lillard OUT. Most likely, IMHO, Dame is dealing with some injury that he is keeping to himself and trying to play through it all.

    Nope!
    Not buying that at all. You absolutely do not see Lillard go to the hole and dunk over people like we all watched last night when he is playing injured.
    The guy just put up 30-5-4 in 39 minutes. Damian Lillard is fine and on top of that he is not the problem.

    Well done. Now since you are already expecting this, you don’t have to freak out like normal in the game thread. See how easy that is?
