    Portland has a chance to set a new season-high win streak of 4, with a victory here.

    Hopefully, Melo and Little are both healthy enough tonight to play. We are running low on bodies. And very low on competent forwards.

    Are the Blazers so snake-bitten that even their former players are injured? Last game it was Aminu, and now it's Layman.

    Both teams are on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Both teams have key players with injuries. But that's where the commonalities end. These teams are headed in totally opposite directions. The Wolves are on a 9-game losing streak, while the Blazers have 3 wins in a row. May that trend continue tonight!

    And we are finally in the 8th spot in the West!

    I guess that's either a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.

    Even Minnesota players don't want to play in Minnesota.

    Think of how many years the Wolves have been laggards and how for the last several years some in here have picked the Wolves to finish ahead of the Blazers?
    Portland is lucky to have a team that has stayed competitive and has provided some solid ball and appears to be again ready to surprise once healthy.

    For the poll question, the Blazers now have two roster spots open since they were granted the Hood Disabled Player Exception.

    Jimmy Butler was so right to leave that team. They couldn’t make the playoffs before him and now still without him lmao

    That was when they had Jimmy Butler. He's gone.
    What they should do it trade Karl Anthony Towns for a top-notch scoring guard before Karl Anthony Towns wants out and is traded for spare parts.
