    If the Blazers' streak reach a baker's dozen, they will be hotter than a commercial oven!

    Dame>Lou, CJ>Austin, Moe>Sindarius, Chief=Tobias, Nurk<DeAndre and our bench is far better than theirs. Jordan won't carry them to a win. We'll get big games from Dame and CJ and it will be too much for them to handle. GO BLAZERS!!!

    I love you @Darkwebs , but I hate that you made Portland's design look like the shitty Clippers design. @HCP , you down to make a game thread, fams?

    Both teams are playing 3 in 4.
    Clippers at home with a days rest. While Portland is coming in on a b2b.
    Seems like a game where players other than CJ/Lillard will need to step up.
    But they say. 'Have defense will travel.'
    Lets see if it holds true tonight.

    A win on the road against a team with a winning record to keep the streak going will add a lot more credibility to it. Let’s put another notch on the belt, RIPCITY!!!

    Turner has shown he is making a difference and that game last night is exactly what this team needs from Meyers at this point.

    The team probably got to their hotel around 3:00-4:00 a.m. this morning. Hopefully they cant get enough rest to win this game even if it is ugly.

    Gut check tonight. The guys really need to bring it after playing last night in Portland. FiveThirtyEight only gives the Blazers a 38% chance of winning and had the Clippers 3 point favorites. Basketball-Reference has it at 45%/55% in favor of the Clippers. Time to defy the odds and extend the winning streak to 13 games.

    Make this a quick trip south, take care of business. Get back for a home cooked meal and get ready for the rockets. One game at a time, let's seal up HCA. No letdowns!

    Must win seems to be your signature post. Not that I disagree.
