    Thin air just means that Sharpe can jump even higher, right?

    They might put weights in Shaedon's shoes so he doesn't leave the atmosphere.

    Not an easy win by any means but if we get it we're back at .500, which would be nice and we've played them well two of the three times we've faced them.

    Big game and the team is playing well. They are rested and they can make a very good game of this. Nuggets on a 6 game win streak right now. Who better than the Blazers to break that streak. Nuggets are 19-3 at home this year. Obviously a tough place to get a win.

    They have a pretty unfair advantage there.

    On the road against a good team, I prefer just to keep it close and hope someone goes off late in the 4th to put it away. Jumping out to a big lead early on the road never seems to hold up and when the home team makes a run the momentum is hard to stop. If we get hot it needs to be late, just don't dig a big hole to come out of.

    Not really sure it's all that much of an advantage in the middle of the season when they travel as much as every other team. Now in the playoffs if they have HCA and get to sit for 3-4 days before starting the series i tend to believe it helps a bit.

    the Blazers are due for a revenge game. Murray and Bones might be sitting out. A big Division win for Portland is a real possibility. .500 basketball, woohoo !!
