    They are playing pretty good and they are 8-1 in our division. This a tough game for us, last one against them the refs killed us. I mark this as a L, but I think we can win this if we play a decent game. Of course I will watch and hope for the best.

    I think this game is winnable, but the bench has to get involved fast. Harkless is going to have to put up at least over 10. This team’s second unit stepped up in Lillards absence on most occasions. We need that same effort and play today. One big question is who guards Wiggins? Didn’t Lillard shut him down last time out? We need that again. Butler is going to be the X factor. No way McCullom handles his business against Butler imo....they are better off game planning their defense around Butler. Stick Aminu on him. Towns can’t go crazy tonight. I hope Nurkic can hold.

    Start Aminu at SF so he can guard Butler.

    it was Crawford who killed us last time, it wasnt Butler... we had that game, but we threw it away
    lets hope we dont do it again, just run pnr with Nurk, KAT cant defend him

    Nurk won matchup with Cousins against NOP, Im expecting the same against KAT
