    Winning these next 2 against the Pels will help make up for the previous loss against the Wolves.

    So both CJ and Nurk are Questionable?
    Questionable used to mean "Playing".

    I see Collins is still "Out" though.

    Questionable is 50/50.

    I'll change it to DOUBTFUL instead.

    The Pels will kill us if we dont get something more from our starting forwards, because we know they will. They will allow Dame all the threes he wants if our froward are not scoring.

    Another game where we're smaller at 4 out of 5 positions. Lovely.

    So I'm assuming they got out of there before the storm hit in Minny? They are supposed to get anywhere from 6-12 inches?
    There are so many variables to getting around and actually playing games. Flights, Weather, Hotels, Baggage, Sleeping/Eating, Family just to name a few. I'm sure there are a bunch of things I'm missing.
    I have spent a bunch of time on the road but nothing like that to even try to compare it to?

    Per the injury report, the lineup above should change at SG.....

    CJs back. That better mean Hood is benched (along with the obvious Simons) If Hood plays over Nas I’ll fly to Portland and light Stotts car on fire.

    I'm not trying to expect it tomorrow but if our team doesn't improve demonstrably with CJ back... I'm going to go fucking crazy on the CJ forever crowd. I hope he comes back, plays better than ever on D, plays great O without taking the ball away from Dame and we go on a big run. I really do hope that's what happens. So, it's great to have our second best player back. GO BLAZERS!!!

    We match up well with the Pelicans, their strongest offensive players are against DJJ and RoCo plus their PG doesn't shoot. I hope Dame can again show some signs of help defense like he did against KAT a few times. If only we had a coach who could teach Dame to play defense. Guess that's too much to ask for
