    We've not had a game where dame refuses to lose and wills the team to a win in a while. Hope he got some rest yesterday and comes out blazing

    The altitude means you get tired more easily. You can play the same minutes, but instead of playing a 10 min stretch, you play two sets of five with shorter breaks between.

    Is that clearer?

    Not this time my friend.
    You should know better as well.
    The Jazz are on the 2nd night and the Blazers watched their game from Salt Lake last night.
    This will be a dog fight. Might even go to OT again for them.

    If Clarkson doesn't play, this could be impactful, as he always seems to go off on the Blazers.

    With CJ & Powell now scorer's Dame's scoring will drop unless they bring DJ back in the starting line up. He an still be the man shooting 3's in the clutch, if his heads right. He been beat up and family is important and demanding so I think he needs a few game rest to re-energize and reboot.

    I actually have a good feeling about tonight.
    Nurks playing
    Clark son doubtful(that’s huge)
    They played an OT game in a really competitive game

    plus I just think we’re tired of hearing how we can’t beat good teams (I know it’s true)

    true but to me that just means someone else off their bench will turn into prime Reggie Miller tonight.

    inflammation is not unusual, dame had it, powell had it, nurk had it, it happens

    not exactly an injury, lets put it that way

    nurk either has bone issues or just a terrible fucking luck

    hes had three fractures while with the blazers (two leg and one hand fracture) and there is a story (not confirmed though) that nurk broke his leg while he was practicing bball in slovenia as a kid

    but if nurk has bone issues, i think that information would see the light of the day, cause doctors would figure it out for sure, or at least thats what i believe

    Imagine we trade Nurk and CJ for Vucevic and Harden.
