    I will settle for just starting the game not digging a huge hole.

    I used to eat at this restaurant years ago but it wasn't called King Tide. Does anyone remember what it was called?

    Deandre is also on the injury report with right knee tendonitis.

    The Kings will likely beat us but let's just hope our guys play hard.

    Would love to see Sharpe play today. Just fine if he takes another game off and comes back fully healthy.

    you gotta give Kris some minutes. It's a moral imperative. Also, it will help the Blazers length and rebounding difficulties from running too many guards for extended periods.

    Should be able to trick Sacramento into a few turnovers.

    It would be sad if they're never on the court at the same time.

    if the Blazers win tonight, they'd only be 4 games behind the Hawks. I know it's a different conference and all, but it goes to show there are several other teams off to a rough start this year.

    Coach said he's gonna start Moses Brown to counter Sabonis !! (I guess Ayton needs to rest that sore knee)

    Shaedon being out really hurts the entertainment value of our team. The dude just does things that I don't think anyone else in the league can do right now and that's exciting to watch. Even when Shae doesn't deliver any big highlights, when he's in the game there is always more of a sense that something dramatic could happen at any moment.

    I say Moses gets 3 in the key in the first 5 min.

    Wow I wonder if when bettors saw that Deandre is out tonight if they put a lot of money down on Sac winning by 9 points or more. It seems pretty inevitable that they slaughter us.

    Seen this show before. Will Chauncey call a TO before they are down 10?

    The Blazers look terrible and the Kings keep bricking 3's. We got a close game
