    Sheesh, trying to parse through all the Houston injuries to create the injury list took about an hour.

    It should take the Blazers less time to dispatch this injury-riddled team.

    There's only 4 games left, and we need to go on a run if we want to catch up to Dallas for the 5th seed.

    Bucks and Jazz most recently beat Rockets but they weren't blowouts. They're trying to lose, no doubt, and playing lots of people I've never heard of and if that guy plays well, they bench him next game. Still gotta take them seriously.

    The Suns or the Jazz are difficult opponents whatever berth we capture.

    Now, THIS is what I would call a trap game; especially since, in Porter, they have a guy who can go off for 50, if a coach doesn't pay attention.

    Excuse my ignorance here. Is that Kenyon Martin Jr. the son of Kenyon Martin that used to rip the Blazers hearts out when he played in Denver?

    Watched him school Zach Randolph back in like 2005-06. He and this guy named Carmelo Anthony that used to be pretty good.

    That is kind of cool. I wonder if Carmelo Anthony already knows him from years past?

    We will be without our starting PF. A Blazers win would be impressive.

    Could someone post the photo of NateBishop’s predictions again? I’m wondering how he’s doing.

    You're not someone who should make fun of others for wrong predictions.

    So these guys would have to win all of their remaining games and have the Pistons lose theirs in order to have to share the most worst record in the league. In other words they have it all locked up and can come out here just trying to fuck up our plans. They aren't good enough or healthy enough to if we don't sleep on them but if we do...

    Trap game. We need to come out and disabuse them of the notion they have a chance to win early. Crush their spirits. That's what good teams do.
