    Tough game if they play their stars. Mobley is outstanding.

    This will be a good test for this young squad. I'm not too worried if they win or lose. I want to see them put up a good fight.

    Ooof this might get ugly quick. Mitchell has been killing it and the Cavs control the boards against everybody they play.

    No Donovan tonight.

    Strange how, much to the disbelief of some members, POR does not strike fear into the hearts of good teams. The nerve!

    It will be a most ugly game tonite. Donovan is going to be useless against CLE bigs. They are ultra athletic. DC gets 12 mins tonight.

    I think he means no Mitchell. And that Clingan is going to have a rough time this afternoon vs CLE bigs.

    They’re paying you way too much. You’re good, but not THAT good.

    How many members believe that POR strikes "fear into the hearts of good teams?"

    I'm sure you did great in your creative writing classes.

    Wow. Isiah Thomas just said Camara brings intensity that Cleveland hasn’t faced! Dude this guy is not a role player. He’s a budding superstar.

    I don't but I do think good teams are probably starting to think it's going to be a frustrating game against a team they had thought of as an easier win earlier in the season. That said I think there's a lot of space between, "Damn these guys are tougher than we were hoping." and "In my heart I fear playing this team."

    Clingan has to improve his foul shooting. Stop shooting threes bro. Worry about the stripe. Can’t play you at the end of games if you can’t hit your free throws.
