    I wonder what kind of pre game "speech" Stotts or Lillard gives the team prior to a game like this. This is probably the most unique circumstance prior to any NBA game ever right? I think about the L.A. Riots, that was weird. What else? Does anything come close? So interesting to me.

    The Blazers have a big game tomorrow at home. If the refs are ludicrous in their calls, I hope Stotts would put in the worst players we have and call the BS.
    Call it a rest game for our team.
    I would not do that if the officiating is fair.

    It's not this level, but hearing Roger Staubach talk about the Army-Navy game that Jackie Kennedy asked them to play after JFK was shot is another odd circumstance. The post 9/11 Mets/Yankees WS. But in terms of the death of a player? I think you're right.

    Someone please explain, there must be a reason, why are NBA players bundled up like they're about to go sledding in a snow storm in pre game warm ups? Just trying to get a sweat on maybe?

    the Blazer telecast said Gabriel will start. Nothing like a low-key game to ease him into the flow...

    I do care if Kobe did what he was accused of doing. I care a lot. But I also care that people can be better. Learn, grow, expand and be self aware. Second chances are good if they're used appropriately and I don't see any evidence that he didn't knock his second chance out of the park. That's why I feel emotion about his passing. And I'm ok with it. I feel it. Now go beat the fucking Lakers.

    he'll be guarding AD, or Lebron, so he'll probably have 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes

    I normally watch the national broadcast, but no way I'm doing that this game.

    I don't even know why I'm watching this. I just love the Trail Blazers that much I guess.

    No reason to freak out because the Media is all over the Lakers. A Legend died so it's pretty normal that they talk about kobe and his Team the whole time
