B2B, not sure if anyone other than Khris sits. Dame wants to play no doubt. Blazers beat us last year in Portland. They also beat a full strength Bucks team in Milwaukee earlier this month. They're bad but better than Utah. I want a 3-1 road trip, let's get this one. Then off until Friday.

As usual please keep this thread on this game and all trade talk in the team thread. Thx.

Blazers won 4 straight before dropping their last game to OKC. Avdija is rolling, and Scoot is finally showing signs of life. This will be tough on a back to back.

DAME REVENGE GAME!

120-104

DAME FOR 30PTS!

What would be good is to maybe get back on transition defense.

Deandre Ayton would rather be kiteboarding. Brother, I've been there.

One of these times I need to see him kick his old team's ass, instead of pubing it up. Show he's fully bought in here.

Not great Bob

Hopefully Doc mails it in if this game gets out of hand either way. Brook, Giannis and Dame are playing way too many minutes. There’s no regular season title the last time I looked. 6th seed and up is fine.

4.5 behind Boston. We’ve got Blazers, Spurs, Grizzlies, Thunder, Hornets next. If we can steal one from the Grizz or Thun we should be closer soon.

Go Bucks.

POR respectfully declines.

MIL must win for MIL without incentive.

Still no Portis. Hope everything is okay with him/family.

Middleton playing a B2B

He probably would have sat if he pubed it up again last night.

Makes this game all that much more interesting. I wanted to see more tests before the trade deadline especially to make a decision, but it could backfire playing on no rest & could dissuade palatable trade(s) if he does look bad.

The Blazers brought out the worst in Khris this time, so I don't want to see his performance dismissed cuz it's supposedly a terrible team.

And they're not the Jazz. They're respectable & in form. This has also been a really tough match-up for us the last 2 seasons. 1-2, & the win we had to overcome a 26 pt deficit.

I mentioned Dame's got to finally have the fire to play well against them. Then, I think this is a bad time to not have a 3rd true big. They have 4 w/ a pulse to throw at us. Giannis hasn't done well v. true 5's lately. Clingan could eat on the boards, in the post.

We getting to the point where we just wonder if they sent him home because he's getting traded?

But back to the game itself, really want to see Mids have another good game. When he's on he's fun to watch.

I'd like to keep seeing the Dame that drives to the basket
