    One fewer game we have to play without Nurk. Works for me.

    Well, a few practices is not a bad thing at this point.

    Also, a great little gap for a trade, Neil. Get ‘er done.

    That could really help a few teams. Not just the Blazers.

    4 hours before match only 3 players were out in total for grizz. 2 injuries 1 health protocol...not counting jackson who had surgery 4 months ago and hasnt played at all....so how can they cancel the game?! We probably will have 6 days off total rest probably for the best gets Dame the needed rest to reboot and start playing 40 min per game

    Huh?
    yes it does, it means your own bed and being with your family and not enduring flights.
    Crowd is absolutely a factor but dont think going home each night isnt as well.

    But it hasn’t made a difference this year. Look at the home and road records. Being in your own bed hasn’t been much of a factor. Hotels have comfortable beds.

    Bummed about the postponement. I’m home sick and was looking forward to the game.

    If there has ever been a season where the home court advantage won't mean shit, it's this one. Playoffs will be interesting.

    Its early. Travel wains. Home court will not have the advantage it once did but it will still prove to be an advantage when all said and done i think.

    Would you rather have them play now and lose or play at full strength a couple months from now?

    or better yet, would you rather have them play and possibly have the Blazers become exposed and have a rash of positives?

    whether the right thing to do or not, all sacrifices come with a price.

    get better.

    Or, maybe they won't. Teams like Portland have always really played off their fans. Unlike teams like the Lakers/Clippers.......

    I’m going to miss not seeing the game tonight and maybe Friday’s as well. OTOH, the games will probably be slipped into the schedule for the second portion of the season, so that likely means after CJ is back. That would be a plus.
