When: 10:00 PM ET, December 15, 2014
Where: Moda Center, Portland, OR

Should be a tough one tonight, the Blazers have been struggling a bit over the past couple games but they're still a very talented team.

Go Spurs!!

IMO there is a simple pattern to beating the Blazers and that is to not let LMA go off like crazy. Now actually stopping him from doing that is the problem.

No Parker, Splitter, Manu or Duncan tonight. Understandable considering our upcoming schedule.

Sloppy start for both teams.

This is frustrating... Can't get a freaking stop!

Though this is by far the best KA has played.

Yeah.

I wouldn't put money on us winning (though it's still highly doable), but I'm pleased with how we've hung around with essentially a skeleton crew.

Anderson is getting some great experience. CoJo has done well tonight also (though I'd like to see more from him in the assist column).

All this experience and all these alternate lineups getting burn against good teams... this is all going to pay HUGE dividends come playoff time.

Go Spurs!

I agree playing the worst players on the team pays off, but goodness can it be frustrating to watch.

Truth.

Though there is a silver lining. When I watch the games, I always listen to the other team's broadcast when possible, and it's amusing to hear their veiled frustration when we hang around in their buildings despite not playing a third of our team.

Frankly, it's also kind of nice to hear them heap praise on our system, after being ignored and written off for so many years.

We played a decent game and Kawhi was great but we just didn't have the talent on the floor to beat a very good Blazers.

Also Wes Matthews is a monster.
