    Going to be a tough game is you ask me. These guys are going to be fired up after losing last second against the Celtics.

    It's weird that he NBA makes the visiting team provide their own towel boys.

    And even weirder that players would need a towel at 4am.

    I'll be at this game. Can't wait though I'll spend most of the day in a bus.

    OK What genius decided that a 2pm eastern start time was a good idea? Especially on a day when half the country (including me!) has to work!

    ugh. What exactly do you gain by doing this early start time? You know you wont get as many viewers even IF everyone had the day off! morons

    Going to be tough more so because the Blazers have no match for Gortat or Nene. They don't have the low post bulk to handle this team. The only way this is a win is if we see lots of shots falling from the perimeter.
    Another problem is Jared Dudley. Neither Vonleh or Leonard have the chops to handle him.

    There are always matinees on MLK Day. This is nothing new. Same reason there are days games on Christmas and weekends.

    Jared Dudley is a SF. If they really played Dudley at PF, how on earth will he guard Vonleh or Meyers. Works both ways.

    I don't know about that Sly, I can think of at least two activities a person can do that they would need a towel at 4am.

    @HCP is providing a public service.

    Kelly Oubre is their starting small forward....Jared Dudley will start at PF. Yes he is 6-7 but has wing span of 6-10. He is a 11 year veteran who will school both of them. Always kills the Blazers. You of all people should know this.
    I love your positive attitude but this is a very tough match for this team.

    I just picked up that Nene might start at center? Not sure why that would be but he is listed to start on another site.
