    Is this game happening? The Blazers broadcasting crew made it sound like it is, despite the snow storm.

    The team is still at staples, where btw it's raining pretty good. I doubt they even leave tonight.

    I know you don't want to just give away games, but Stotts should start his entire garbage unit tonight. Put Leonard at point guard I don't care. Fuck ESPN and fuck the league.

    Although my place of employment is closed today, I had to go in to make sure the whole building is locked down and closed. The irony.

    Definitely a 'Pop' type of game. Guys got in so late, back-to-back, no 'normal' sleeping time. Start 'the Closers'.

    I'm sure Cavs are thinking the same. Could be a good game to steal.

    Somehow Pops pulls out a lot of wins with decimated lineups. I'm guessing our outcome would not be the same.

    The game will be played tonight. The team got rerouted to Tacoma last night and will fly into PDX in a few hours. Cleveland is already in PDX. The NBA is a big factor why the game isnt being postponed, due to scheduling conflicts (no good make up opportunities) and that the ESPN crew is in town to broadcast the game also.

    Per excellent SlyPokerDog source.

    Happy the game is going to be played, mostly because MY cousin has my tix to this game for him and his wife and he can make it with his rig. With that said, this is gonnabe an away game for us right? Pretty lame how things turned out and CLE could land here when we couldn't. I seriously doubt they are going to sit LBJ and tank this game for rest factor because they did it last year and PDX ticket holders would have a legit gripe.
    Portland is gonna have their hands full tonight (like they don't every night these days)

    I think we beat their full squad last year.

    We did...but it was later found out that was a 'protest' game to get out the then current coach and bring in Lue to be LeBron's assistant.
