    Now where is Harkless at in his recovery at this point? Listed as out for this game.
    Any word at all on his return?

    Most important game of the year. I hope our guys know how far we can go in this playoffs if we play our game. Gotta be carefull, mirotic, jrue and rondo are pretty good players. This is a MUST win game for us. I believe in Dame. Go Blazers.

    I got to say this box score against SA worries me.
    http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400975972

    I don't expect them to duplicate it but damn that starting line up shot the lights out. At all 5 spots.

    My concern is Rondo and Holiday getting into the paint and lobbing the alley oop to AD. If Nurk helps out stopping guard penetration, then Aminu and Collins have to be the ones to stop it. But that leaves Mirotic wide open.......The Blazers under Stotts have not done well against centers and PF's who shoot well from deep. the Pelicans have two who can.

    Somehow the idea of a guy who looks like Walton in a speedo is frightening.

    Im seeing people/"experts" acting like we aren't going to take it to another level like the great teams do. To them, all I have to say is this:

    Spurs clearly tanked so they could play the Warriors.
    Pop showed his hand.

    With Rondo though he is looking to pass first which should allow Nurk to quickly just show himself in the paint and then recover back to his man. The nice thing is you don't have to worry about Rondo shooting a 3 pointer either.

    Bruno got a little ahead of himself. It was announced that Harkless "should" be back sometime in the middle of next week. If he was cleared on Wednesday he'd obviously be available for Game 3. Game 2 is probably a little ambitious.
