    wouldn't it make sense to rest Dame here again? because our next game isn't until Thursday, that gives him a few more days to rest. same for Josh Hart

    We can’t be playing our next game vs Indiana at home if this game is at home.

    must win here, our home record is bad, like really bad compared to other teams in the western conference

    we need a winning streak to get the confidence back, everything is better when youre winning, so hopefully they give us something to be optimistic about

    in the next 10 games, trail blazers should absolutely go at least 7-3

    four games home stand (indiana, denver, minnesota x2), hopefully we go 4-0, but 3-1 would be good too, then six games road trip (san antonio, dallas, houston, okc x2, denver) and i expect four wins

    i can see us losing both games against denver and the one against dallas, but we need to put down indiana, minnesota (rival for the playoffs and kat is out) and those tanking teams (although okc is winning some games, it wont be that easy)

    It looks like he is available.

    Haliburton is questionable.

    It would be nice for them to establish some court of HCA.

    4-5 at home. On the road we’re 8-6. At this point I’m not so sure home cooking is that much better.
