Hopefully more precautionary than anything. Will be interesting to see how we do, might be a chance for Clarkson to get back some confidence.

Well, it sounded precautionary, and we won one of them. That's probably what we needed to do, is win 1 of 2. If we win the second, that's bonus.

Should have stuck to my original GTS guess. :banghead:

It will be a disappointment if we don't win at Portland. If the early Rotowire report is correct, starters McCollum and Nurkic will be out along with rotation players Zeller and Covington. Lillard and Powell are capable of going off to get the Blazers a win, but the Jazz should be favored on paper imo.

I think we've got a good chance, but it is Lillard, and we do have small guards go off pretty often.

Portland just got blown out at home against the Dallas team we beat on Christmas. They're in bad shape right now.

And we just added to their misery and gave Lillard another reason to finally jump ship.
