    the last Houston matchup went to overtime. This was during the Blazer glory days, when most the players were available. The game was so much fun, the Blazers GM wants to play against the Rockets every night. Unfortunately, the league doesn't let teams choose their own schedule.

    "I love watching Ant play!! I believe Ant is a huge asset to have on a championship team."

    -Blazers Edge fan comment of the night
    (I think Cronin sneaks into that website and pretends to be a Blazer fan)

    I'm pulling for the Hornets to continue to widen their lead on the Wizards. If the Hornets win this game and we can lose out, then we have at least a split of the 4th and 5th odds in the lotto. I think Jerami's hammy is going to keep him out the rest of the season and when Scoot is 100% he'll come back and Ant will sit the rest of the season... or at least that's what would make sense to me if we're trying to maximize the options our pick can potentially give us.

    Lock of the night: Houston -3 in the 1st half (maybe)...

    Edit: I've obtained new information and in fact, Portland +3 in the 1st half is the lock of the year!
