    The Blazers have lost 3 straight games.
    The Blazers have beaten the Suns 11 consecutive times.
    One of these streaks will be broken when this game ends.

    If Portland wants a playoff seed, this is a significant game to win, as it appears the Suns are one of the teams that will be breathing down the Blazers' necks for the last playoff spot as the season moves forward.

    This is Portland's last game of the year and last game of the decade. Go and get 'em!

    If Tolliver get's playing time, he shouldn't touch the ball except when he shots a 3

    Feel so bad a lot of fans criticisms CJ like he’s the one to blame, Dame was 0/10 3pt vs Pelicans I can’t imagine what would be if CJ does that, CJ is a elite player, elite scorer, who can bass the ball and has incredible range so start putting some respect on your 37 points game 7 vs Denver.

    We will take contested threes and give them open threes. Their guards will do us in.

    Blazers are saying Skal is out with "Left Knee Inflammation".

    Doesn't sound like knee inflammation when a player is looking for a second MRI and will miss at least the next 5 games?

    Is the poll even debatable?? Forget the Blazers... CJ might be biggest ball hog in entire NBA.

    You feel bad that a player getting paid 30-35 mil has expectations to live up to his contract?

    Did he offer it to himself?

    Would you have declined it if you were CJ? Did CJ say hey, my talents are worth 30 mill? NOT that I recall.

    No I dont like his iso ball either, but im not going to blame him for it. Im gonna blame the coach for letting him do it. i'm not going to blame his wallet for it, ill blame the GM for that.

    CJ isnt the issue. The trust management and coaches have put into him is.
