Get your coffee ready. west coast start time. This is probably a tommorow watch for me with Kyrie out and harden maybe as well.



Should be more volume for Claxton/Blake which is fun. would be cool if blake turned back the clock for like 30/12.

Durant - out
Kyrie - out
Shamet - out
Harden - questionable

I'm probably going to bail on this game, I'm not staying up to midnight to watch us get blown out. Without Harden it is really bad.

hope Harden plays but also would like to see the others without the stars. Just to evaluate what they are capable of.

I hope they're judicious with Harden. Any game without any of the 3 stars is gonna be an uphill battle, but I don't want Harden to come in to the playoffs banged up and gassed like he has historically with Houston.

With Ky out we need someone else to step up and hit shots. Hopefully Bruce the Bullys thumb is better and he can light it up tonight. We also need a big game from Joe at least 20+ points.

it would be fun if this is one of those games where the blazers are like "their stars are out easy win" and they look past us and we hang in then got hot from 3 late and steal a win

but more likeky.... Blazers 117 nets 88

Harden will be playing tonight.....the man is like a tank

Hopefully he sits tommorow. no need for him to not have a maintenance day.

back to back on the road vs 2 good teams? your losing at least 1 of those regardless.

If we win tonight, Harden is winning the MVP

Deandre is a liability against this team.

Liking what I'm seeing. James doing a great job of facilitating, as usual, and the guys are finishing their chances.

How is Enes Kanter so good on offense and so terrible at defense?

Kanter is ultimately a net neutral, he’ll give us back everything on defense what he’s giving them on offense.

Maaaan... starting to get scared anytime I see Harden go down.

Kanter is KILLING us on the boards.

Harden should rest tomorrow

Getting serious Orlando vibes from this game. They’re hitting everything, and the ones they’re not are being rebounded by Kanter.

The stars have a big say in when they play and how much they play. It's not like before where the performance team was super conservative and calculated. If Harden wants to play - he will. Don't think it's smart but it's what he's been doing his whole career. Dude does not do maintenance days.

Portland matches up to exploit our vulnerabilities. Let's hope for a dig-deep type of effort. Go Brooklyn!
