No Barnes and possibly no Crawford tonight for this one. We'll need contributions from other guys again namely our reserves. Should be another hard fought game and hopefully a win if that happens. I fully expect CP3 to get the best of DLIL as usual.

I wonder how long CP can keep up his great string of games. It would mean a lot to get this win.

This is a trap game if I've ever seen one.
We're feeling super good about the finish to our road trip and we prolly feel we should get this one.

1st two wins against them came w/o Robin Lopez I believe.
whoever Hawes is on, I expect to eat or dominate some area of the game…prolly Robin on the offensive glass.

if we're not prepared tonight, we can easily lose by 10.

Looking forward to watching some more of Jordan Hamilton. He had a good game against the Wolves, now let's see if he can do it against a playoff team. After all the blanks Doc fired as a GM, it would be nice to get something out of this player.

Except it's not a trap game in that PDX is a really good team and healthy.

No Jamal or Matt tonight. Time for Jordan Hamilton to drop 30.

Yeah I was going to mention that Barnes and Crawford won't be playing tonight. I'll be getting up early so I'm sure I wont see much of the game if I see it at all. I'm hoping for a good result and I'll check the score later.

Doc in his pre-game interview mentioned that they plan on bringing Jordan back for another 10-day and wants him to really focus in on his defense.

what did he mean?

focus on improving it?
focus on being the good defensive player he is?

what was the context?

Basically he said Jordan can really score but he needs to get better at defense.

Defensive focus has been considered something that he's needed to get better at, so hopefully we see that as it would be very helpful

Bad turnover there, Redick would have been better off taking it himself even

Redick shouldn't have forced that imo.
