I really want to win these next 2 games. It will be tough though, but it only gets tougher after that.

I will be watching this one, relatively closely as well. Portland are 2.75 favourites.. so if we can pinch a short handed win, take it and run.

Wolves are a generic name, used by many teams in many sports at many levels. Calling them the TWolves sets them apart. This is especially necessary on Twitter, where a #wolves hashtag would do no good.

Blazers is a much more unique name in sports.

I thought Portland was a team that could take us down in the playoffs with Butler. Will be interesting to see how this game goes tonight. Portland seems to have found their grove somewhat so the team we play tonight could be very close to the playoff version of them. I expect this to get ugly but we shall see.

Dame and CJ are going to be raining threes. I'm expecting a shoot out.

Guess the Cavs may not be as improved as everyone thought after that trade. Seem kind of shaky.

Wiggins is more active then normal tonight, he's being more aggressive going for rebounds even if he's not getting them.

Wow, players hitting the ground early in the game, I think they know how important getting a win tonight is with their upcoming schedule.

Teague’s being pretty aggressive without Jimmy. I like it.

It's critical Teague stays aggressive. He's trying but is snake bit a little tonight.

The officiating is horrible against us tonight.
