    The Nuggets blew out the Blazers and Lillard's fire like a birthday candle.

    We knew Dame's hot streak would eventually end, but it especially stung that it happened in such a lopsided loss.

    Now Portland needs to regroup and face the Spurs, who are one of several teams jockeying for that 8th seed. A win here would almost feel like 2. The Blazers might have wanted a victory in Denver, but they need one here if they want to continue making ground on that last playoff spot.

    I'm interested to see how Dame bounce back after coming back down to Earth.

    Can Lillard re-ignite himself and go on another tear again before the All-Star break?

    Will Dame serve a fifty-burger to his old buddy LaMarcus?

    Blazer fans everywhere coming crashing back down to reality. You have to think about what is best for the long term goals of this team.
    Hassan Whiteside was brought here as an expiring contract. If there is an option that will improve this team going forward it absolutely must be looked at.
    The answers to the poll question again are way too simplistic. It's not just a Yes or No answer. Dealing Whiteside just to deal Whiteside would be stupid. But to not look at every available option and take an offer that would create flexibility and better options for the future would be even worse.
    @Darkwebs you need like 16 more options with caveats included in all of them with a response that allows as many as 6 choices as answers to your poll question.

    This is an absolute must win if we want a serious chance at the playoffs.

    Got tickets to this game. Excited to see if the blazers bounce back after that last gruesome loss.

    If Stotts plays Mario over Wenyen please lock me up somewhere while my murderous impulses calm down

    Wow! I went back and read some of the posts from the last two game threads. Biggest thing you notice right off the bat is how many posters simply don't post here any longer. If you go back to that Oct 28th thread It's absolutely brutal. Though Nov 16th isn't much better.
    Gotta remember we watch the blazers for entertainment.

    Honestly, the Blazers haven't been very entertaining this year.

    Sure.
    But on Oct 28th after the game the Blazers were 2-2 and 2-1 on the road. They were without Nurk and had just lost Collins. People were hoping Mario was gonna be able to step up and were expecting Skal to make up the slack as a backup. Obviously they still had Hood but Melo was already part of the conversation. Whiteside was noticeably still hurt and was not playing well.
    Like i said that thread is just brutal.

    I'm looking forward to going to this game tonight. I'm expecting Dame to bounce back and carry this team to another hard-fought victory.

    Every win is important, but this one is double critical since we'll probably be fighting SA for that last playoff spot.

    And of course watching #12 play brings back a lot of good Blazer memories.

    But what if Stotts plays BOTH Mario and Biggie mor than Wenyen? Does 'murderous' switch to suicidal?
