    Porzingas cooks them.
    Just seems like the last few teams have all had a big guy that the Blazers have to deal with.
    GS Looney, Bucks Giannis/Lopez, Lakers Davis, Wizards Porzingas (Twice), Bulls Vucevic.

    Glad they picked up a little length.
    Maybe the Blazers can get it rolling early again and put these guys away?

    Please remove the line about how Gary Payton II played for the Wizards. His stain on this team should only be left in the "GPII Traded" thread.

    Wizards are about to walk into a Blazers blender. Lillard doing MVP stuff. Shaedon is killing it. Thybulle and Eubanks hunting blocks (which DOES WORK Blazers Uprise, when there's more then 1 person playing defense). That practice game vs. Lakers was only the warm up.

    A win and even the slightest hint of momentum going into the break would be nice for my emotional state. Delusion is much better maintained with occasional reinforcement.

    Looks like we are favored based on the last LA game giving three points seems to be understating the spread

    I like that Billups went 4 deep into the bench during the game before garbage time. They need to keep those guys active for times like these.

    I enjoyed that win last night so much, I thought about having a cigarette.

    I don't even smoke.

    What is the situation with Jerami Grant? Still concussion protocol? How does that work?

    Not ready to play yet because they're still waiting on their monthly shipment of Toradol.

    Even with his mistakes we might need Eubanks more than usual in this game.

    Ant needs to snap out of whatever funk this is. Getting to .500 at the break feels a lot different from 2 under.
