    This is the last game of the 5-game road trip for the Blazers, where the Blazers have won 2 of 4.

    Win this one and make it a succesful road trip!

    Why is KAT playing? Doesn't he know on this road trip that teams are supposed to be without their top player/players?

    We've got a real chance at this one. I'm expecting a big night from Dame, CJ to score a little more and Hassan to play well against KAT (at least in the post). On a side note: What's up with that poll question? Are you trying to depress us??? We have no good perimeter defenders besides probably Hood, who I voted for and who is out for the season.

    Can you change the poll question to "least bad"?

    This is the biggest game of the season if the Blazers want to make the playoffs.

    This poll is the worst I've seen since I read polls on the 2016 presidential election.

    I enjoyed the humor. Could have listed the entire roster and then provided a 'None of the Above' option. :biglaugh:

    One game at the time. Bucks come to play us in a second night of a back2back. ''it could be a factor - stotts''. Lets go! Finish this trip strong and go get those 2 at home.

    "The Sideline" should have been one of the options.

    Kind of wondering about Skal???
    His injury was the 27th and his MRI was the 28th. Been 10-11 days and we still don't have much word?
