i think it is the same as last time we played them... we score a ton of points, have a 6-12 point lead at some point, but just cant match them bucket for bucket and we lose something like 118-102

Damn after these two games I think our chances at the division are over. Raptors next two opponents are cavs and wizards while we have blazers than nuggets on the road on the 2nd night of a back to back. We're looking at 7 games back in the win column

It'll be the 2nd night of a back to back for Portland, and they might not have Aldridge. They might have tired legs tomorrow night, especially since they'll be playing in Denver tonight.

Hopefully Aldridge sits this one, i'd be happy with a split in this blazers/nuggets stretch.

Johnson
Pierce
AK
KG
and then have a bench of
Livingston
Thornton
Anderson
Mirza
Blatche

I'd be shocked. Tomorrow night is very tough, a back to back in Denver, a tough place to play will be as well. So help me God we should win the game after that against the Bucks. That 5th win would then mean we'd have to beat the Bulls. We cannot beat that team. They could've kept Marquis Teague, started him and I'd still be confident we'd lose.

I can't stand the Bulls. We just can't beat them. No matter what injury-depleted lineup they put out there...they still own us. They get big contributions from random players, like Hinrich, Augustin, Snell, Dunleavy, and Mohammed, while our best players go ghost.

Our guys clearly get intimidated. Hinrich and Butler OWN Deron and JJ.

Nuggets might be without Ty Lawson as well, and their roster kind of looks like crap without him. Their best players are Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried. Their starting backcourt without Ty Lawson is Aaron Brooks and Randy Foye.

Yeah, I'm gonna say that if they're without Ty Lawson...that should be a win. They're just not a good team, and they're kind of in free fall right now.

Yeah, me too.

However, I'm half expecting a terrible outing from him that will spark an argument over whether we should've done the trade. :lol:

It's hard for me to watch BK play Portland not thinking about what could have been; Lillard in a Nets uniform. :(

He's becoming one of my favorite players. He's beast m0de.

As for the game, Portland by at least 12.
OKC Thunder fan, too.

so no matter what you're predicting a blowout? :lol:

I would love to make bets with someone about the game threads. Over/under on how many games until Prok AND MrDollarBills predict a win. Over/under how many pages until Prok/MDB/Calamity say "Yeah we're winning but I bet we get blown out next game" or something similar. Over/under how many posts until Prok mentions sending Deron to the bench. Any takers?

on the road, @ denver, on a back to back, likely without KG. yes im absolutely saying we get blown out either way.

also, you make it sound like we are 38-20 or something or that we are a good road team or that we havent gotten smacked around in back to backs.
