    If the Blazers can get the W here, I will forgive them for the embarrassing showing against the Mavs.

    This is the last game of the 5-game homestand for Portland. After this one, the Blazers will be on the road for the rest of March for 4 games.

    Oh shit, this could be ugly but what the last two games have shown us is you don't know what the fuck you're going to get from our team night in and night out. So maybe we make a game of this one.

    I do have a question. Is their a stat that shows how badly we get out rebounded when Melo is playing the 5 because it feels and looks really bad. Is their some kind of +/- rebounding or rebounds against replacement or some shit like that because... if Giles isn't completely fucking broken this Melo at center shit is driving me crazier.

    Any time we look at a schedule and see a decent team coming up that just got blown out of their gym we all say the same thing. "Dang. Wish the Blazers didn't have to play them after getting blown out".
    Some Brooklyn fan is typing "Uh Oh... Blazers just got blown out. Now they are going to come out firing"

    Here is my prediction on this game. Blazers are out matched in the starting unit and are about even off the bench. Going to take a huge night from the Starters to stay in this game. They need to play defense for 48 minutes.
    If they can do that they will be in a position to win at the end. Not going to be easy any way you cut it.

    I looked at the Brooklyn schedule. They are on kind of a tough run right now. After three at home they went to Indiana then to Orlando and split those two games.
    Then they went back home for a one game turnaround vs the Wiz which they won.
    Then took back off and came to Portland for the first of a B2B.
    They play the Jazz the following day.
    The next time Portland plays them will be April 30th

    Well there's hope and our team should come out wanting to prove something but our team is wildly inconsistent. So we'll see if we can win against the biggest stats monster in the league and a few good role players.

    Not to be a downer but it's not exactly the same. Their backups are basically handing this one to us (we could still drop it) and the same team that beat Dallas two nights before handed them that game last night.
