    I've been waiting for this to unlock. It's my dad's birthday too. I hope the Blazers give him a win.

    Happy birthday Chris and Trendon as well!

    Take care of the ball and don't close out like a junior high school team for most of the game, and they should be fine.

    Plumlee always plays well against the Blazers. Nurk might have troubles with him?

    They have lost 5 in a row so they are due for a good game. They do have prior wins against the Warriors and Hawks.
    The Blazers need to win this one to secure a split on this road trip.

    There was talk about Dame and/or Ant missing this game so that they're available the next night in New Orleans.

    At the start of the year, this was the must-win game on the trip. As is, this could get us to 3-1 on the trip and playing with house money.

    I wonder if all the people with birthdays on this day realize that they were probably conceived on Valentine's Day? Give that some thought.. Your mom just getting totally plowed all because your dad bought some roses...
