    there's another Blazer game tonight? What the heck kinda scheduling fubar just happened? "7 game road trip, and we'll give you 1 day off."

    This is NBA, not MLB. Players aren't yawning and chewing gum in the outfield. Basketball players have to work really hard every game.

    So you’re saying the Blazers worked really hard the last 7 games?

    Would we even notice. Would it make a difference?

    Between the Blazers record, the snow and it being a Playoff football Sunday, how many fans will actually attend?

    Unexpectedly going to the game tonight. Wonder if this is the last game for either Brogdon or Grant.

    Same. Meet you in the 100 level. We'll have the pick of the litter.

    I guess the core unit should be pretty fresh? They've only played 60% minutes except the win in Brooklyn. The Suns might run into Red Hot & Rolling.

    The Suns look freezing cold in the Moda Center. Maybe the ice storm will mess up their game tonight?

    If you feel like the season is on a downhill trend, you would be right -

    I'm okay with red, but let's try to keep that steep decent to a minimum. Let's put up a fight tonight, Blazers!

    Maybe Jerami is out because they’re trading him at 9pm tonight, which is the very soonest they could.

    I don’t know about Malcolm and Tisse but it’s pretty suspect that Jerami is sitting this game when tonight at 9pm is the earliest he could be traded. Fingers crossed that they’re all gone tomorrow… of course for a great return.

    Nurk could feast all night in the paint against us.

    Scoot nailed his first shot, unlike Anthony Davis last night.

    Also sitting 100 right now. Best friend’s gf inconveniently is interning for them during a rebuilding year so I’ve been usually seeing us get smacked off nightly up up close lmao.

    Got to catch the wins against SA, PHX, Indy, and Utah though lol.
