Hope im wrong but that loss on SUnday was epic. The blazers come out flat like they did vs NY and fall behind big. We dont have the firepower to come back. This game IS A MUST WIN. How embarrassing would it be to lose to the nets?
If Blazers lose tonight . . . that would be the low point of this entire season, IMO. Luckily it won't happen

Meh, I think in the long run, getting embarassed and losing to the Nets would be a good thing to motivate them.

ronan didnt you try to ban me? i sensing sarcasm. and hey.... im just saying tonights game isnt a walk in park
The Nets beat the Bulls and the Bulls are above us in the latest ESPN power rankings. So it's entirely possible they could beat is if we don't come out strong. It would make me feel pretty bad if the Blazers ended up being win number 6 for the Nets. New Jersey's 5 wins: Chicago, New York, the Clippers and Charlotte twice. If we lose to the Nets I might just cry.
I have a feeling that the Blazers are either going to win or lose this game. And it could be by a little or by a lot. Just a feeling. Hope I'm wrong.
It's not about firepower, it's about hustle. There are no excuses with this game. It doesn't matter if Roy does or doesn't play, it doesn't matter if we shoot .25 for the game. As long as we out hustle the other team we win. If we lose this game that is the red flag that something is wrong with this team. Something needs to happen/change immediately. In looking at the Nets there isn't an excuse invented that could make losing the game acceptable. We can win on heart, muscle, desire and attitude alone.
That's a badge of honor. Who wants to excel at janitorial duties in front of a sliding block of cheese?
