    The key will be keeping the FTA differential under 30 this time. Out FTA defense last time was weak.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Ordinarily, I'd see this as a toss-up, but I think this is a schedule loss, unfortunately. Back-to-back for Portland on the road, not a back-to-back for Houston.

    Portland is playing better than Houston right now, but it's pretty hard to overcome a potential energy deficit.

    Love to be wrong--I'd take special enjoyment in Portland beating Houston after that Carmelo Anthony saga.

    Given that James Hard-flop isn’t playing, that may be doable.

    He should just take two weeks off and let it completely heal.

    Wow, I know we're underdogs, but +8... ? +280 on the money line? Harden's still out, and Dame's supposed to play, right?

    I voted Myers....Bell is a good example of a late second round gem ..the Iggy acquisition...they got it right...signed Durant without giving up the core...great front office
