This is one of the few years where the Kings might actually be better than us and it might not be pertinent for us Southern Oregon bros to go down there for games to save money.
I hope everyone ignores him. We don't boo him, we just move on. He never gave two shits about our city or our team. I plan to offer him the same courtesy.
I think we should either give the number 12 to Meyers before the season or retire Adelman's jersey which I believe was also number 12..on the night LA returns to Portland. Raise the Adelman jersey to the rafters before the game and have a huge ceremony
Does any other team have two sets of 4 games in 5 nights like the Blazers? There is all this talks about how they reduced so many of those and theres only 28 in the league this year which is less than one per team. We shouldn't have two. I don't really understand why the league has any of them, seems something that could be eliminated fairly easily. The Blazers have 19 back to backs while the league average is 17. Not a huge difference but seems like we always have a more difficult schedule than the rest of the league. Then being way up in the NW we also have to fly far more miles. I do think it helps our home court advantage that teams are traveling so far to play us. East coast teams aren't used to games starting at 10pm.
I hope we rest some players on these B2Bs and 4-in-5s. There's no reason to be putting that much pressure on their bodies this season. Make some roster changes on those nights to spread some playing time around.
