    That is exactly what is going on. Stotts is starting to tighten up the lineups.

    Every team does it. Unless that team is the Warriors that have a host of players to draw from.

    It was actually great. Everyone was good and no one threw up. Uber never shut me down so I worked til 8am and made a bundle. I wish every day was like that!

    There are always injured players and every team plays against the injured teams. We’re not special. Chris Paul, for instance, is missing games against every team right now. Also, Bagley is a bench player, not a major player. Fox is their star.

    I thought we where supposed to be happy when an opposing teams top 3 player is injured. It makes getting a W easier.

    Nothing like playing against the slump-busting Blazers to get you back on track. I fully expect Hield and Fox to go off in this game ... can the Blazers guard duo BOTH have a good game tonight? Could be the difference between a W and a L.

    I don't follow Sacramento at all. No idea who their guards are.

    But it sounds like they're better than people give them credit for.

    We better not blow this.

    Hield is averaging 19.7 ppg and Fox is scoring 18.3 ppg. And Bogdanovic off the bench is averaging 15.6 ppg. They’re going to be a handful.

    Hmm. Yeah, that's gonna be a handful alright. Dame and CJ better step up. And Nurk needs to beast against Stein.

    Unless Stein is one of those athletic centers that gives us nightmares.....

    Is it The HCP or do our Blazers play a lot of teams without some of their best players?

    I’m interested in seeing the second unit and whether CJ on it is permanent. If he is, it just further shows how much the bench could use a scorer.

    Not related to this game, but didn’t want to start a WHOLE NEW GOD DAMNED THREAD FOR IT......like some people.
    Anyway, on this date 6 years ago the best Wear ‘N The World ever aired from NYC.

    Referees for tonight's game
    • John Goble (#30)
    • Brent Barnaky (#36)
    • Mitchell Ervin (#27)

    Since Jacyn Goble was so popular with the Blazers and their fans (when he was a ref in the 11/29 game against Golden State), it looks like the NBA is assigning his brother to officiate our game tonight.

    They have got some good wins so far. They play up temp and they play hard. So if we don't bring it we could loose to them.

    Whenever HCP posts whines about something a certain Looney Tunes character pops into my head.
