I was really impressed with Marcus Smart in Summer League a couple of years ago. Glad to see him fulfilling that potential. Just not against us, of course. ;-)
I think the Blazers win this one. And if they win this one, I think they win the next one. After that, all bets are off. ;-) If they lose tonight, they'll still win tomorrow, but that will be for them, and I think they know that.
This is the kind of game we lose. Nothing at stake. They all are thinking about seeing themselves on TV after. Kings hungry to prove themselves against a playoff team so this matters to them. Could be an ugly blowout of the Blazers if they're not really fighting from round one.
