    The 2nd part of the NBA regular season starts here, with the Blazers hosting a 3-game homestand. Portland currently has 5 straight homes wins, so let's see if the Blazers can keep the good times rolling.

    First up on this homestand will be New Orleans. Portland needs to treat this as a revenge game for the 3 losses the Pels have hung on them this season (oh and for the 2018 Playoffs sweep as well).

    Lillard may be injured, but he still wants the team to make the Playoffs. Winning this game against a team who is gaining ground on them would be huge.

    4 starters out. Is "injuries" a viable excuse for this game?
    If they win will the CJ hate stop?
    Will Coach Stotts be able to solve the "log jam" of available players for the second unit?
    Will Melo be dreaming of Cancun?
    Who will be the first to get a Tech? Ariza?
    Is Zion gonna do the Blazers any "Favors" or will Hassan "Saddle up" and carry the Blazers to Victory!

    All these questions and more TONIGHT!
    Where- 1 N. Center St. Portland OR 97227
    When- 7:30

    ESPN will be on full Yawn Mode and expect pretty much every highlight to be about Williamson but you will get a side glance here and there of Lillard in street clothes.

    Trent should at least get an opportunity to show he’s more than just a spot up shooter. Thought he was a better playmaker than Simons at summer league. We’ll see where he’s at now.

    Whatever you do don't bet on The Blazers to win by 20.

    I don't see any way we win tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

    Memphis losing at Sacramento started off the stretch run in a positive direction - so I will go in blindly hoping for a win!

    No, but since I don't follow the Pelicans closely, I am unsure of who is active for each game. So I choose list all the non-injured guys that aren't starting.

    Hopefully Stotts isn’t stupid enough to put Biggie on Zion again. Gabriel and Nas are much better options. So would Hoard too bad he’s not up.
