    A win-streak of 7 is like heaven, but 8 would be great!

    I don't care if we lose. Don't play Dame and CJ more than 25-30 mins.

    Their workload in the past week has been ridiculous.

    Where's that dislike button?

    After tonight, Blazers have 3 games in 10 days. Plenty of time to rest up during this home stand. I want this win; I wouldn't be able to stand us losing to both NY teams in Portland in the same season.

    Portland never blows out anyone but I want this game over by the fourth so guys can rest and we can get a glimpse of Baldwin.

    Tell this to Minny and NO after their main guys went down with overuse injuries. Both our guys played nearly 40 mins last night. Since 2/23, Dame has played 37/39/34/38/37/39 hard minutes. And we need him for the stretch run. The upcoming rest is great, but still doesn't take away from the fact that he's been ridden hard the past two weeks. Another 35-40 min night is just asking for trouble. We need to learn lessons from Jimmy/Cuz.

    Nah, we GOTTA win this one. They can rest on Friday. Given our spotty play, we gotta win the winnable games.

    Do whatever it takes to win tonight. If 40 minutes is needed you do it. Two nights off after this is enough time to bounce back. I would rather lose to the warriors than the Knicks. A loss to NY would haunt them down the stretch.

    The stretch run will be irrelevant if we're dropping games against garbage teams. The west race is much too tight to be willing to sacrifice even one win for fear of "overuse injuries". Sure, I'd love for this to be a blowout victory in which Dame/CJ don't play in the 4th, but if it's close and it comes down to play for the win or sit them in the final quarter and hope for the best, no way are we relying on Napier and Connaughton in the 4th to win a tight one. And there's no way Dame would stand for it if Stotts tried it.

    Could also argue that the stretch run is irrelevant if they were to have a significant injury due to overuse. But that would be pedantic.

    Let's just disagree on this one.

    You're saying you'd die happy. For more reasons than one.

    I got it, but won't like the post since I watch the games with my pup. I won't watch games with mods, cause who wants to watch the Blazers with moderation, hehe
