    This will be the second night of a back-to-back for the Blazers, so there is no rest for the weary, and no time to feel sorry for ourselves.

    The 6 game home stand starts now. Portland has to make hay during this stretch, or their playoff dreams will be cut short.

    Up first is the uprising Sacramento Kings, who have won 6 of their last 10 games. Out of nowhere, Sacramento is suddenly in a virtual tie with the Blazers in the Standings.

    The Kings are looking to ascend to the throne of 8th seed. Portland must win this game to force them to abdicate.

    We need this game. We got this game. Still just 3 1/2 games out of the playoffs. We can do it. Go Blazers! Make those playoffs.

    I hate every thing about this cursed season! What a god damn disaster!

    (By 3PM tomorrow I'll have talked myself back into an unexpected title run and be excited for the game).

    To me Olshey haven't had a great 12 months it not just one thing you got up there. Let be serious there been some individual accomplishment so this year but the overall team wise it been disappointment season from injuries and players he brought at first didn't really didn't click.

    Getting Melo after 2.5 years of us talking about it is my answer. I've loved having a Hall of Famer on our team even though he is past his prime.

    Wenyen is now shooting 40% from outside in his limited minutes. Also looks really good at the FT line. The shooting he showcased in the g league might be starting to translate. If there ever was a game he saw an extended run it’s this one. Teams are attacking Melo in the pick and roll and force feeding him offensively isn’t helping too much either.

    Gonna be at the fights tonight.
    This season is pretty much over.
    At what point does the NBA say this season is not worth playing? It could not happen to a better season as far as the Blazers are concerned.
    Blazers are limping through a season the Virus is gonna put an end to.

    It’s sooo annoying how predictable Stotts is. I knew Biggie would play the second half once Baynes stayed hot. Because in Stotts brain, evidently the only way to defend a big body is with another big body, nevermind that all Baynes was doing was launching threes.

    I thought whiteside was huge and suppose it was to have a body at center, but im off the hassan wagon.
    Empty stats, empty head. He will never be a winner in the league.
    Its Ariza for me.

    With that frontcourt, the Blazers should have a parade line going to the basket which should then open up wide open looks from '3'.

    Zero confidence. Zero. Not with stotts at the helm. In fact this one could get ugly.

    I'll check on the thread after the big Win/Loss. Whichever it happens to be?

    You know, an outside observer might look at our rotation and assume that protecting Melo's pride was a top priority. :dry:
