    Davis is the type of player that seems to give the Blazers fits. That said, Portland should have advantages all over the court if they are patient and move the ball. The Blazers should have their legs back and it will be interesting to see how sharp they are.

    • Pelicans shouldn't abuse the Blazers in the paint as much as most teams have done.
    • Can the Blazer cut down on their turnovers?
    • They need a few more fast break baskets so Davis can't just set up near the rim and play goalie.

    I hope the reception at home is a thunderous 'Welcome Home'.

    Need to get CJ McCollum some burn in this game.

    Hey, I can dream, right?

    Appreciate your concern. I appreciate getting this thread started right with a beautiful "reverse jinx".

    Thank you

    Excited to get this game going. Get that ugly taste of the Minny game out. I want a win, don't want to have to wait until Thursday after a loss!

    Long time, no post.

    Clicked back here via @trailblazers link to the game thread.

    How's everything here since you've become "the" official forum? good/bad/both?

    Go Blazers!

    He's right. This is a game we should win, if we're going to be seen as legitimate contenders. Home game with two days rest, coming off a bad loss. Good teams win these games.

    Which is why we will.

    Damian Lillard choses "Hannah Montana" by Migos for the warm-up music.

    Hahahahaha! Nice choice by Lillard for the holidays!

    But, NOLA has been off since Wedensday as well, and probably been in portland for 48+ hours. This will be a good test. I think we still win, but it won't be pretty, IMO.

    I'd rather have "Wake up, wake up on a Saturday Night" if I'm listening to Hilary Duff.

    I really want to blow these guys out. I want LA to drop 30 and 20 on Davis. I want Lillard to score 30 again. We have a pretty long break before our next game, so I'd like to see us just destroy these guys.
