Even with all Portland's young talent and us missing Yi, I still feel we should win this one.

I haven't checked yet, is VC playing?


I'm going to this one, hopefully with the bad weather they invite everyone to come down to the lower level.

yes, VC is playing.

Sorry this is a loss.

Frank will get out coached.

He will go small with Dooling, Harris, Hayes, VC, and Hassel for defensive purposes or offensive purposes or just for the hell of it.

Portland fan here. Steve Blake is out tonight, as well as Rudy Fernandez (most likely). Devin Harris will feast on Sergio Rodriguez. We should probably see extended play from Bayless finally, which will at least be interesting. Good luck!

I disagree, I feel we match up pretty well against everyone on their roster. Only mismatch I see that is big is Aldridge vs. Anderson. Honestly, I can see Stro getting a decent amount of time against him tonight. He matches up better. Anderson will still get time because he will be able to pull Aldridge out on defense which will allow Devin a clearer path down the lane or force Oden to take Brook 1-on-1.

Their line up doesn't scare me one bit really. Roy and Aldridge are gonna get theres of course. If they don't have another person step up, this game is ours for the taking.

I hope VC goes off so Portland will consider him in a trade with us. Harris step back for this one let it be the VC show tonight.

You forgot the X Factor in this game.

LAWRENCE FRANK

All that is good, but They have Nate McMillan. We have Frank.

Out of the 19 wins only four games where he coached against superior Coachs and won.

He won a game against Sloan(williams was coming off an injury), Brown, and Carlisle. All the other wins were against IMO coaches that are subpar and first year.

Damn Frank has lost to Miami's coach 3 times already. Then there is IND. They beat us back to back, but then we finally got them back 108-107. LOL

^ Nah, the X factors are:

Nate Mcmillan & Lawrence Frank. Believe me, Nate has his bad moments as well.

good first half.. i didnt expect us to win this one but we have a shot.. i like brook lopez more and more every time i watch him

i would like him even more if he would pass more out of some bad situations, sometimes he doesn't have balance or angle and yet he still will shoot rather than pass. Hopefully he will improve on that as he gains experience.

Our transition defense sucks! Bayless is eating it alive.

Time for Vince to step up. Roy is outplaying him.

His ceiling? Well with his work ethic he can be a Tim Duncan type player with a better jump shot and a better free throw shooter. I'll be clear though. That's his absolute ceiling if he reaches his full potential.

Damn Outlaw!

The defense rests again... Nets should have won this game.

Mr Carter where have you been?...

Another loss. 19-21.

Our rotation defense was horrible same goes with the transition D. Bayless and Outlaw killed us.

VC didn't show up once again. I wonder when he will again. He's deferring to much to Devin.
