    Confused about this game's timing. I will be driving at the time. Hope the league pass radio thing works on the app.

    Which Lillard will it be for this game, the under 40% shooting Lillard or the over 40% shooting Lillard?

    Cj you dont have to worry about hes essentially guaranteed to be efficient

    This game is huge, I think we need to pull off the playoff strategy we used against Houston, single cover Howard and throw multiple bodies at Harden.

    you can try to throws bodies at Harden but he'll throw his own body before they get there

    Yeah, the start time is 4pm, Houston time, which isn't a matinee game nor a regular night game. My only guess is that they think people will want to go to bed early or get preparations done early for Super Bowl Sunday.

    Good for me. I'm in Germany at presentn and have been watching the games on replay the next day instead of at 4am. Was surprised and pleased to just realise it's on at 11pm my time tonight. Live Rip City for me tonight!

    This happened during Houston's last game. We need to destroy these fools.

    I'd try Dame on Harden, I think it would be a nice challenge for him. This is not the playoffs, we can afford to experiment

    It will be the Lillard putting up career numbers in assists and scoring.

    Am I the only one would would much rather see Dame get 15points/11 assists a game and CJ 30+ points? I really like a passing Dame.

    I'd be happiest with 6 players in double digit scoring and Dame and CJ getting their 20+

    Nope. Dude keeps clutching his knees. I have a bad feeling Dame will spend some time out in the next few years. 40 points a game is too reliant on him.
