Hope this game goes better than last time. The Blazers won't make it any easier.

The Grizz will have to be more aggressive on both ends and do what they can to get a win here.

The Blazers have been a complete train wreck lately and the Grizz HAVE to take advantage of it. Hopefully getting completely outplayed against the Kings will make this team mad and come out very strong.

Grizz!!!!

The last time Gilbert Arenas has played in Portland was 5 years ago:

Van,that's one helleva trivia find on Arenas. Since this is his first game getting implement with the Grizz, I think he will get at least 15-20 mins tops.

Arenas looked pretty good there at the end of the 3rd feeding GASOL. I am hankering for a win here tonight. We're the better team - we're uber deep. finish the job boys

Have now lost 3 of 4 and all against losing teams, this it just becoming a joke at this point.

Not a good start into this road trip. Overplaying their man on defense and not executing down the stretch on offense isn't helping our cause. They need to go back to the drawing board and figure out where they are making their mistakes and find a way to fix them before Saturday's game.

I watched much of the Pacers game against Clippers earlier this week. It was awesome. We're a very similar team. Just get that tape and copy it on Saturday!
