    Blazers own the Timberwolves. 90-42 all-time against the former home of Ricky Davis.

    Wolves defense shutting down the Clippers. Good luck Blazers beating the number 1 team in the west

    maybe the Wolves are the template of Portland's rebuild, not OKC

    of course, that would suck because the Wolves spent 13 straight seasons in the lottery, and 16 of 17 seasons in the lottery. They won 1 playoff game over a 17 year stretch

    but that's better than the Kings who were in the lottery for 16 straight seasons (after firing Rick Adelman)

    There just isn't a template. A front office in our situation has to draft well, make opportune trades and sign some guys whose value just isn't known... in other words we've got to be smart and lucky.

    At the same time our coaching staff has to develop talent and teach them a system in which they can put to use their talents and the skills the staff is helping them develop.

    So this is the time when the Injury report just stays fluid. Pick your player for whatever game? I guess the good thing is the Spurs are up to 11 wins now. Blazers are pretty solid in 14th in the west. The Grizzlies are trying hard though. Lost 9 in a row. Gonna be tough for the Blazers to beat that with so many home games this month.
    On the eastern side of things the Hornets went out and won 2. They are up to 12 wins now.
    Things are getting competitive for those bottom 3 spots.

    Did I do that right?

    Wolves only 9 point favorites over Blazers. Is Minnesota planning to rest a bunch of players?

    the undermanned Grizzlies held the Pelicans under 100 in a scrappy hard fought 'proud of my guys' loss yesterday. Good to see Memphis playing the way Billups wants to play.

    Maybe they're factoring in them playing their second game in as many nights?

    tired T-Wolves need a nap.

    There's also the chance Scoot & Simons return to action. And the double digit spreads have come back to bite the casinos lately. Portland has been playing hard and refuses to get blown out.

    This might be an easy bet winner taking the Wolves and under
