Blazers are coming off a B2B, but only their bench should be tired.

Also, don't think we'll be seeing Meyer's Leonard tonight. Talk about biased commentary.

We need to come out strong and finish strong and get this win against one of the best teams in the league

Beneficial that they're coming off a B2B. But, the Blazers are good. Could steal a win from them, but I wouldn't bank on it.

I expect a solid game only because they are coming off a back to back.

We have the size to contain LMA even though he's been practically un-gaurd able all year long.

Hopefully we aren't getting beat off the dribble like the 4th Q of the nets game otherwise their ball movement will cause havoc and they hit will bury us with their 3 point shooting.

All in all i predict a close game for the most part, until jennings and/or smith take us out of the game with a couple of bad possessions (shots/TOs)

Hopeful for the W.

pistons down 22 at half time

pistons lose by 41

Over/Under for POR is 158.5 points. I'm taking the over

Hope Pistons bring their best game as Portland is on fire. I really like the Matchups here and this will be a fun one to watch. Gooo Pistons!!!

We have a shot, but their team can really exploit our biggest weakness -- we don't guard the 3 point line. They hit 21 threes last night. That sounds.... ominous.

back to back against portland and indiana is not going to be easy. blazers are on their own back to back, but portland are lights out from 3, and shoot a lot of them. we dont guard the 3pt line, thats going to make it tough for us to win. they did make 21 yesterday, which maybe makes you think it might be tough to repeat that, but these guys can flat out shoot, watch out.

will bynum ready to play. in my ideal rotation he wouldnt play.. i wonder how this looks now with all 5 guards available again. surely pope cant be the one getting DNP's again

Joe Berry · Post #11 » by **Joe Berry** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 9:35 pm

over/under 21 threes for Portland? i say over, the Pistons will make sure the Blazers will get as many wide open 3s as they want.

so pope still starts thankfully. bynum or chauncey would have to get the DNP-CD, will be interesting to see who.
i kind of want mitchell active though. i want him playing if we potentially reach garbage time either way, as i hope at some point this season he is getting backup PF minutes over jerebko or CV

I think we are going to win this one, for some reason I think we play worst against average to crappy teams and tend to show up to battles with contenders. LMA vs moose and leonard vs Dre, Jennings vs Lillard. should be fun game

Clarity · Post #14 » by **Clarity** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 11:04 pm

You know the deal as per usual, if its the Jennings & Josh show were gonna get blown out, if its the Moose/Drummond show we have a chance.

Tough when youre playing this kind of shooting team when you have trouble defending the perimeter.. & thats not even including them having the best PF in the game inside/outside.

lmao, we wouldnt be seeing him anyways unless they win by 40 via Jennings/Josh taking over.

ps. and 1 for the Batum gif in the preview. Great job as per usual CGC!

what was orton doing after he elbowed him, telling him "shhhhhhhhh...go to sleep" haha

Josh cooked on the back door..

Moose bullys Lamarcus

Clarity · Post #19 » by **Clarity** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 11:14 pm

Jennings with 2 shots, both awful. Passes up a Moose post to take a long 3.

lol

KCP needs to step it up. He's becoming unreliable on offense
