We better not lose this one.

The four worst starters all play for POR.

Looking at the Blazers starters...it makes me sad that we won’t see that old Blazer team again, they never seemed to be fully healthy, but I already rooted for them in the playoffs cuz Dame was a killer.

I hope we can keep our core together and add the right pieces in the next few seasons, I know KAT wants to be a Wolf for life so that makes it better. Ant is probably getting the max in a couple years and maybe we bring DLO back for the right price.

Guys like Naz and Nowell probably want to get paid, though

Hopefully not a let down game. Our bench should get lots of PT again tonight.

Should be one of the easiest wins of the year.. hopefully we’re not sleepwalking. I’ve never heard of 3 of Portland’s starters

Their starting C is a 10 day contract.

Beasley just set the team record for most 3s in a season.

I could see us losing this.

It’s, what, our 4th game in 5 days? That’s rough on anyone.

The Blazers only brought eight players?

Our starters should beat their starters, and our bench should crush their bench. They’ll get tired before we do.

McDaniels! Blocks the three, then two seconds later puts in the half court lob! Awesome!

I know others have said similar but it is worth saying again. The difference this year is when things go badly against bad teams instead of collapsing we just find ways to right the ship.

Beasley's shooting has been unreal lately, like way above expectation. Guess its just the odds evening out. If he always shot this hot he would be getting paid a lot more. Also this lines up with my thought that as soon as we traded him before the deadline he would be blow up and become a wolf killer.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

They shouldn't throw Beasley out for that! Unbelievable.

Defense has been a mess..especially against a team that's missing so many players

Towns is 10-12, his two misses were his two 3PAs.

KAT has to carry the team here for rest of the game...No Ant, Beasley, Pat Bev and Prince for rest of the game
