    Going to watch this game but probably end up switching to Denver game. My concern Rocket game will be unwatchable. UCLA game had much more drama than anything this game can generate. Let’s tank and please put us out of our awful season.

    We are a 9 1/2 point favorite. Crazy game to bet. No telling what is going to happen.

    Maybe there's just extra happy Portland sportsy stuff because the Timbers kick off soon. Soccer RULES!
    How those Blazers doing?
    - Well... they haven't traded Damian yet.
    Hey, Right on! Go Blazers!

    Cam Reddish and Thybulle are going to start instead of Nassir Little and Shaedon Sharpe?
    WTF Chauncey.
    It seems that developing chemistry between Sharpe (and Little) and Lillard is worthless to Billups.
    Very strong vibes of not the coach not wanting a real discussion of who should be starting if Lillard / Little / Sharpe look better than the typical starting lineup with Simons.

    Between getting snubbed by the rising stars game and Chauncey not really showing Sharpe much love, maybe Shaedon just isn’t as good as we think he is

    Or, just maybe, 19 years old and no college ball means he’s going to take a year or two to work on his game.

    They know exactly what they have with Sharpe and Little....we need bench scoring and starting defense....Sharpe nor Nas are not great defenders...they want to see what they've got in Reddish before the offseason...Thybulle is going to be starting over both those guys in my view to get us some transition buckets and stop digging early game holes...makes total sense to me. We need a bench that doesn't throw away a lead. With an undersized Eubanks, we got longer at he 2 and 3 which helps

    can anyone send me a link to a good streaming site? All the links I've been using lately have been atrocious and unwatchable on my TV. Any help would be appreciated!

    these brooke interviews of players talking about upcoming winning streaks are cringeworthy.

    You’d hope. The Rockets are the worst team in the league and missing their two best players.

    Damn f'ing Dame!

    He says this is the time for people to step up but with 13 quick points in the 1st quarter he's clearing showing that he doesn't want to play in the 4th qrt. NOT WANTING TO PLAY IS NOT STEPPING UP!

    I don’t think we need to tank anymore, the losses are gonna come anyway. We look pretty equal to this 13 win rockets team imo.
