    Minnesota is #1 in the west. Blazers going for #1 worst loss in NBA history tonight?

    Blazers only 15.5 point dogs in this. Easy money right?

    i wonder if we have really missed Jabari a lot? Seems like this terrible streak has coincided with his absence.

    rebounding is nonexistent without him or ayton available.

    but we have bigger problems than just that.

    Agreed that there are bigger issues. But it makes all the others more difficult to deal with if you can't secure the rebound

    Blazers average net differential over the past 5 games is -27. That has to be a record.

    Shaedon is out with the same adductor injury. I hope he is just actually getting rest or that we keep him out until it's really back to 100%. Looks like Jabari will back which should help on the boards but might mean less PT for Kris and/or Ibou.

    the spread went from 14 to 17 before tipoff. The assumption is T-Wolves will manhandle the Blazers. I wonder why anyone would think that?

    2 open shots for their best shooters.

    0 scouting.

    0 preparation.

    After a 62 pt blowout loss. This is not ideal.
