As I'll be out tomorrow evening and won't have a chance to predict tomorrow, I need to get it in today. Blazers 107 Lakers 105 Lillard 38 Starters 68 Bench 39
Blazers 86 Lakers 110 Dame 21 Lebron goes for 44 Starters 63 Bench 23 It’s a “prediction game” and until my opinion has been changed (like an acquisition of a caliber forward) I think Neil has saddled us with less a team than last year. My prediction is that we will be out rebounded in each of our first 18 games. Last year I predicted 18-0 and was hopeful. I’m not as hopeful with this group - sorry. I’ve been a Blazer fanatic since attending my first game with my Dad back in 1974. I was present in the Memorial Colliseum in 1977 for every playoff game including game 6 and in fact have the jersey of Bobby Gross that he wore in the Championship game 6 - he finished runner up to Walton for Finals MVP for those that didn’t know. I predict a loss to the purple and piss because I’m simply not convinced. I will however cheer for the Blazers and I will hope to see Dame and CJ both score 50....but I think Lebron will score big tonight namely because we don’t have a forward that can stop him. Go Blazers!
