    I think we're a different team this time around... better idea of who can do what, etc. Looking for Robinson to do even better this time around.

    Cox Pavillion?? Fuck! How could they put such an important playoff game in Cox Pavillion?? No, but seriously, it's like a high school gym compared to Thomas & Mack. I have the day off, so I'll be in attendance to support our Blazers!

    I would have thought this crazy a week ago, but we're a different team with Claver.

    G1: Claver only played 1st half, Blazers were up by 3 when he was injured. Team went on to lose by 13.
    G2: Claver DNP, Team lost by 18
    G3: Claver played whole game, Team lost by 2 in OT.
    G4: Claver played whole game, Team won by 1.

    Sure, it could be accidental, there's not a lot of data, but I don't think so. I think Claver gives the team a Stability they're not otherwise getting.

    I hate to make excuses before the game even starts, but our roster is not deep. CJ has played big minutes in every game. This will be his 5th game in 6 nights. This for a guy who had not played in a game since January and who is used to playing two games a week.

    I think his legs are already tired and it will be even worse tonight. Someone else needs to pick up the scoring load.........but there is no one. It's going to be ugly..... so prepare for it.

    I would like to see this lineup:
    Point Forward: Claver
    SG: McCollum
    SF: Crabbe
    PF: Robinson
    C: Leonard

    Claver is the best facilitator on the team, he would help Robinson and Leonard A LOT!

    So if we lose tonight we have to play again tomorrow? That would be a back to back to back to back one day after a back to back.

    If we lose tonight, we're done. No more games. Only guaranteed 5.

    How appropriate that summer league is in Vegas. Because like my trips to Vegas, I can't wait for it to start and shortly afterwards....I can't wait for it to end.

    They both get old quickly.

    Well the schedules have all said the loser of tonight’s game, game 45, plays tomorrow at 7pm at Cox Pavilion. Phoenix has only played 3 games so far and all teams are guaranteed 5 games so that’s why they scheduled it this way. Blazers edge seems to say if we lose we are done so I'm not sure what to believe.

    Only guaranteed 5, but once we won yesterday, we were guaranteed a 6th game.

    http://www.insidehoops.com/vegas-summer-league.shtml

    We were the 19 seed, and won game #37, which moves us into game #45 (against the #3 seed). The game #45 loser goes to game #51 (Friday, 7pm), and the game #45 winner goes to game #56 (Saturday, 3pm).

    Friday is loser's day. Saturday the Elite 8 begins. Yes, we have a 6th game. Winning would be nice as it would give us a day of much needed rest. CJ looked REALLY tired in the 4th quarter yesterday.
