    HELLO MELO! What a home debut for Carmelo! He had the most efficient night (offensively) of his career, in which he has played 18 seasons and over 1000 games.

    And the Blazers just tied their longest win streak of the season (2). This here is a chance to get a season high 3 straight win! Let's do it!

    Does the injury list have a typo? I thought Dame wasn't dealing with back spasms anymore.

    I doubt his back is 100%, but we know Dame will 1) play through it and 2) claim he is healthy, even when he isn't.

    But yeah, I guess I will take him off of the injured list.

    Once you get back spasms......you have em for awhile. He is still dealing with them for sure.

    Doesnt it depend on the cause of the spasms?

    I'm kind of an expert in this area. Yes it totally depends on the cause of the discomfort. "Back Spasms" is a very broad ailment.

    The Blazers should blow the Bulls out. Look at the discrepency in talent in the starting lineup. If the Blazers DON'T go on a serious winning stretch in these next 13 games, it would be a big surprise. This is the cannon fodder portion of the schedule for the most part.

    Everyone said the first 20ish was gonna be tough, and between playing bad and injuries they made it tougher than it needed to be IMO, but I still think they’ll be a playoff team all said and done. They’re gonna have to out score teams but they can out score teams.

    The record after the first 20 can be attributed to three things. New players\acclimation, injuries, and 13 of the 1st 20 games being on the road. The 1st real homestand starts 22 games in when the Blazers get 4 in a row at home.

    I wouldn't say "big surprise". This team had some horrible games this year.

    It's a long season. After 17 games, the Blazers were 7 games below 500.

    The last time the Blazers were that far behind 500 was the 2016-17 season. The low point that year was 11 games below 500 59 games into the season. They ended up making the playoffs that year, finishing 8th in the west.

    In 2015-16, the Blazers were 9 games below 500 after 39 games. They ended up finishing 6th in the west that year.

    We've got a lot of basketball left to play this season.

    Dame has pushed the Blazers into the playoff for 6 straight years. We've had to integrate a lot of new players, and deal with a lot of injuries this year. I have faith the Blazers will kick it in and finish the year strong.
