    Man I hope we get some payback, but The Pel's are a very good team and probably our toughest match up.

    I feel good about tonight so we'll see. I'm confident the Blazers will be motivated and will bring energy. They just need to execute.

    You don't want KingSpeed to pick you up. It will ruin your star rating.

    Thats good news. Davis will play though. Gotta watch Moore and Holiday. Gotta cover mirotic outside. Can't be like the shitty D we played on Morris. Gotta stay out on him. He will burn us down

    I hope our guys don't let up if NOP is not at full strength. Psychologically, I'd prefer to beat them with AD, but at the end of the 82 game schedule, all wins count the same in the final standings. A win is a win. Let's get this one!

    No way BNM, it's just more luckiness and they only count as 72% of a win.

    Ok, but for the record and UTA's and DEN's wins over NOP also only count as 72% of a win as well.

    Also, for the record, last season teams 3-9 in the West all had between 7 and 9 "lucky" wins (wins over an opponent that was missing their best player). The Blazers were right smack in the middle of that group with 8 "lucky" wins. Despite the perception that we are luckier than most, it tends to even out over the course of an 82 game schedule.

    Wrong again BNM, all other team's wins other than the Blazers count 100% no matter what the circumstances.

    Man, James harden out and now possibly AD? can't wait till more stars miss games against us and people on the forum can continue to say we got lucky with injuries even though, you know, they happen all the time. Other teams should be lucky Meyers Leonard is inactive most of the time to be honest...

    No (they played GSW, not LAL). It wasn't a game time decision, it was announced several hours ahead of time that he was playing.

    I'm kind of surprised they chose to play him 41 minutes against GSW and then rest him against us. To maximize their chances of winning, you think they would have given him an extra night off against GSW and them had him rested and ready for POR. Seems like kind of an ass-backwards decision to me.

    Oh well, LUCKY us!
