The hornets and wizards game is also a Flagg Bowl!

Banchero looks like he could be back as early as next week.

Yes, Pat Riley choosing spite, I love it. Make Jimmy earn his money. He wants that max extension, get your bitch arse on the court and help the team win some damn games.

Bit of a "revenge" game for the Blazers after getting blown out by 42 at home by the Jazz (who were missing their best player).

While it's perfectly acceptable, even desirable, to lose to a Flagg sweepstakes rival, getting booed by your own fans while being down by 46 to an equally **** "rival" is pretty damn embarrassing.

Of course, the premise of revenge relies on actually giving a ****. Other than Avdija, Camara and Clingan (in his 12 - 15 minutes), the rest of the team, starting with their joke of a head coach, has zero pride and is just collecting a paycheck.

Most organizations would have fired Billups immediately after that recent loss to Utah. When you loose that badly, at home, to a 4-win team minus their best player, heads should roll. To say Billups has lost the players incorrectly assumes he ever had them.

It's ok to lose, but you want to at least be competitive. Under Billups, the young Blazers are learning nothing but bad habits and there is zero accountability for the coach, or his players. They should have fired Billups before training camp and brought in a coach with a track record of developing young talent.

If your betting on the Pistons to win, do so cautiously. They are growing by the game, but they are super young, have won 2 in a row on the road,(big heads, tiny minds syndrome)whilst the Kings have lost 4 in a row, and will be looking for blood on their home floor.

I think the Kings win, and win big tonight.

I think if your guess comes true, Mike Brown is fired tomorrow. Could be a nice parlay

Wizards vs Hornets is torture and I'm a Hornets fan.

[2020]

Does anyone think OKC or Charlotte is a lock to win tonight?

[JRoy]

Scalpers night off for POR-UTA

Scalpers night off for POR-UTA

may watch specifically to see some trade pieces from both teams. I'm guessing other team's front offices will be doing the same.

[mediocrityrules]

No Giannis again and likely no Lillard again
