    To answer the poll question-

    Lots of things to look at. First off Doncic and Porzingas look like they have been playing together for years already. Dallas will be a tough game.
    Then the Spurs on the second of a B2B. I feel the Blazers could get the Spurs but schedule and being on their home court might prove tough.
    Sac still doesn't have a great team. That is a game the Blazers can win but again it's on the road. Anything can happen.
    Blazers will benefit from a short distance between San Antonio and Oklahoma City with a day off and they should be able to put up a good game against the Thunder. My feeling is they might be in a position to be looking for a way to get a win.

    Can the Blazer return from this road trip with an overall record of 0-5???? It could happen. Lets hope they win two. I will be happy if the Blazers face the Sixers on Nov 2nd with a 2-3 record.

    Coming out of these first twenty or so games with a > .500 record will be tough. We should get to 50 easily if we can get through this stretch.

    Of course. He's on my fantasy team. I'm a freaking jinx and will explore offers for Dame shortly.

    Bagley is good but he wouldve been a better matchup for Zach than Bjelica will be. With Dedmon at center, Kings will be fucking launching from outside.

    They don't have much big depth though without Bagley and will have to go smaller at PF.

    Is it me or does it seem like we play a lot of teams when one of their best players are missing?
