    Orlando favored by 1.5 and its a landslide where 82% are picking Orlando to win.

    This game everyone thinks will be easy for Blazers but Orlando is filled with Blazer killers. If they are hitting the three ball.... ITS OVER!!!

    Dont like the bLazers chances here.

    Orlando (especially without Howard) is just like us, nothing but a bunch of streaky 3 point shooters and 1 really solid player (in this case Howard for Orlando and Aldridge for Portland. Good thing there solid guy is out).

    Hey Mixum, is there any way we win tonight? I don't think it's a cakewalk but... any way at all?

    I think Orlando goes small, pushing Bass to the five, Hedo to the four and starting Q-Rich at the three. I don't see them trying to stay big. I think they run a bit tonight and hope their shooters are hot.

    For us, we have to work the boards. If we outrebound ORL tonight, we stand a good chance.

    Important to remember that long shots lead to long rebounds, and I think there will be lots of long shots from both sides tonight. Hustle (or dare I say, scrappiness?) from our perimeter guys will be key to our winning the rebound battle. Expect about 12 boards combined for Wes and Rudy tonight, and double-digits for Crash.

    So you are saying somebody should show up with a sign that says "Hey Gilbert, ever score that 100 points against the TrailBlazers?" :NOTMARIS:

    The O seems to think it will be Nelson/J-Rich/Hedo/Ryan Anderson/Bass. With LMA, they almost have to start Anderson, don't they? Hedo can't defend LMA, and neither can Bass.
