    I don't know if you can call that last win "earned," but both of these jerseys the teams are wearing for this game have been designated as the "Earned" jersey for making the playoffs last year.

    This game will be very entertaining, if last game is any indication. The previous game between these two teams was crazy, sloppy, stressful, but oh so fun (probably because we won).

    The Warriors will not overlook the Blazers tonight after Portland stole the game right under their noses (but that was after the Blazers tried serving the game away on a silver platter to the Warriors).

    Because these two teams just played, coaching will be more of a factor this time around. Which team will make better adjustments and game plan after seeing the results of the previous game? Only time will tell.

    Terry Stotts promises to run more plays for "the Bulgarian butcher? the Bolivian breastfeeder? Ah heck, that big white kid."

    Can the Blazers put the Warriors on a 3-game losing streak?

    I imagine this next game will be higher scoring. That may not be a good thing.

    Did the last win really count since we got lucky and Cousins was injured?

    I predicted a loss against Dallas, and..... we won.

    I predicted a win at Utah, and...... we lost.

    I predicted a loss against the Warriors, and..... we won.

    We only win again On Defense. If we let our intensity and our effort down, we'd lose. That's the biggest key right now, keep improving on defense

    I think there is a locker room page on NBA.com and jerseys have to be announced in advance so it shows it on there.

    I voted for the Nurk after a change vote from Dame. His pass created that miracle.
    What are `the odds that we win the second game at the buzzer? I would like that experience to catapult this team towards a winning streak of un imaginable proportions. Beating them twice in a week is like Unreal. CANADA NIAGRA 009.jpg
