    With Kanter the duo of "Nurk and the Turk" will own rebounds and blocked shots stats. They wasted Philly (minus Embiid.) All Blazer fans feel arrogant confidence for this game.

    Balanced scoring is much preferred. However, I would like to see him have better shooting nights.

    Am I the only one who thinks Love and Kanter guarding each other could be comedy gold?

    Good. Hope there are a ton more to follow. I don't look at it like he hasn't been scoring a bunch, I've been impressed that his dimes and rebounds have been up. Dame is the type of player who can do more than score, we just haven't had the pleasure of seeing it very often.

    We don't have to play well to beat this Cavs team.....not at all. We need 5 people on the court at all time with a pulse and we will be just fine.

    I look forward to the game where everyone is clicking at the same time. The first four games of the first round would be just fine for me. I can wait.
    :pumpitup::hoops:

    I thought Mo showed something yesterday, good Mo is a valuable piece to this team when he's right. Jake keeps applying pressure like :hello:

    I see lots of three and four votes when only weeks ago it was lucky to get 5-8.

    There’s no easy road games. Every team can beat you at any given time. I hope the Blazers just finish the Cavs early on and don’t give them any hope.

    No, there are VERY easy road games......and guess what, there are VERY hard home games.

    I know its only game 3, but it is in the middle of a road trip, and they might be looking past Cleveland a bit. They should still beat em pretty good, just building up the excuses just in case lol.

    I wouldn't mind seeing us rest Dame, CJ, and Nurk and starting everyone else. Or maybe just rest Dame, or a combination of players. This is a long road trip.

    Normally sure. But this schedule as long as it is, is favorable with us not having any back to backs. I think that day off on the road will keep them dialed. Just my opinion.

    I would rather do that in Toronto where a loss is expected and you might sneak up on them starting bench players. (See Houston @ GS) Doing that against a team like Cleveland could give them more confidence. They have won 3 of 4 and put up 139 in that loss. Taking Dame, CJ and Nurk out of the lineup makes the game a toss up.
