    Which is what I'm more than tired of.....NBA Purgatory/Middle of the Pack. (Being swept in the Playoffs is getting old as well.)

    I'm guessing Curry, but I'd prefer Stauskas.

    If PHO is starting Mikal Bridges at the 2, we need some size in our starting backcourt. Which, in theory means Stauskas over Curry, but Terry doesn't like to fuck with the rest of the rotation when a player is out. So, I vote for a surprise start from Gary Trent Jr. He's the 3rd stringer that matches up best against Bridges. Start him, even it it's only a Vonleh start, and keep the second unit in tact (why, I'm not sure, but that's the way Terry likes to do things).

    We should win, we better win, we need this win, but I wouldn't call PHO dead, just bad. Keep in mind they have wins over DAL (by 21), MEM, SAS (by 20) and MIL. So, they have shown they are capable of beating some pretty good teams on "any given night". Let's hope tonight is not one of those nights.

    I'd like to see Simons feature at least off the brnch. But that might give Layman hope so Terry won't do it.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Stotts start Simons although I'd start Layman and slide Mo to the 2 guard

    We should win this easily but I'm at that point in the season when I cheer if we win a quarter and really not worry about the record until we have a solid identity again with the core and rotation guys. Play has been all over the map...time to do what James Brown sang..Do the Tighten Up!

    Olshey isn't going to fire himself and he's not trading CJ or Lillard. I really think Stotts will be the fall guy.

    well, Devin Booker is out and TJ Warren is doubtful. If Portland loses to that team, at the Moda, they have really sprung a lot of leaks. Of course, the Blazers have lost 8 of 11 and the average margin of loss in those 8 games was -15 points. So maybe they are already leaking enough to find a way to lose
