    No rest for the weary (or the home team, I guess). It's bullshit that the Blazers have to play a back-to-back at home, while the Sixers have been off since Thursday, but them's the breaks.

    No excuses, the Blazers better win this one because it is the LAST GAME OF THE YEAR. We need to close out the year strong for momentum going into 2019.

    I hope the Blazers treat this game like the NBA Finals, or specifically the 1977 NBA Finals, when Portland beat Philadelphia.

    Let's end 2018 with a bang and a win!

    I've heard the Blazers get to play a lot of games where the other team is missing a star player. Is that true?

    If Dame shows up, Nurk shows up and we get something from CJ and the rest; then this is a win.

    I hope the Blazers take out their anger at the warriors on the 76ers

    Is it me or do we play a lot of teams without some of their best players?

    But we have Harkless. He needs to be ready for this match up. I wish Embiid played, I think we can beat them in full force, we have good matchups against them.

    Embid obviously fears the Bosnian Beast....the best players from teams we destroy don't want that associated with their game or stats! FAMS!!!! The Blazers are the NBA's version of Fear Factor!

    @HCP gets the pre-season threads. Even that is indulgence.

    Well according to a bunch here we were destined for greatness this season. HCA in the playoffs, 50+ wins........ only thing I can think of that will keep this from happening is the JinxSpeed guy and DarkWingDuck's attempts at game threads. Holler when you need The HCP, he's always here for ya'.
