    I think MIA and ATL and PHX will be the toughest games for us. Pop will probably rest players, and the Pels are a two man team.

    I think we win tomorrow behind tonight's upsetting loss, and if we stay clicking I think we can get a sweep. However I'll predict we have a let down in the second of a back to back at the end of the road trip, good for a 4-1 trip.

    Just watched the end of last nights game....talk about getting jobbed! How that out of bounds catch was not reviewable makes instant replay useless

    I don't know if I believe much, could also be me personally, but I don't know if we even beat the Suns

    Nurkic is due for a rebound game. Biggest threat is Booker running a clinic against us again.

    Let's go Blazers!

    Christ, I hope we don't see a worn-out, lackluster team tonight.

    Ahem, I mean live from home.
    Because of timezones I usually have to watch replay.
    I never saw a game at the RG. Man that would be cool.

    aaahhh, gotcha.

    The RG is an awesome arena, and we're very lucky to have it. I've been there many times, and it's always fun.

    The best part about it, is that everything inside of it is memorable for your next trip. All the concession stands and entrances, etc etc. It's like riding a bike: once you go in there, you feel right at home.

    Well to be fair, getting to see the Blazers in any arena would be great... But I'm not planning on going to the US anytime soon.
    But I'm sure seeing them in the RG would be even better
