Let's keep the train rolling!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Nah, I'm chalking this one up as a loss. Toronto has been playing  really well, and we're probably going to be without Jrue, Jerami, and Rob on the second night of a back-to-back, plus Deni's back being gimpy again. Unless Shae goes off for 50, I don't think this game is particularly close

 

[crandc]

Blazers have been beating teams that were playing well.

Yeah, I was thinking all week long that we had to get the Miami win because the Toronto game was not going to go well. We will be resting on the 2nd day of a BTB, while they were sitting in Portland resting last night.

Jrue, Williams, and Deni all played around 18-20 minutes last night. (Grant with 23) I think Jrue and Grant should play for sure. They have 2 nights off after this

From ESPN

Portland Trail Blazers​

Lesson at the halfway mark: Donovan Clingan might become a 3-point shooter.

Clingan entered the league in 2024 as a bona fide defensive force. What wasn't expected from the 7-foot-2, 280-pound center was his improved ability from beyond the arc. And though it's still too early to declare Clingan as the league's next great stretch-5, his shooting is raising eyebrows around the league. Yes, he's only up to 31% on roughly three attempts per game, but that number has been buoyed by a 12-for-23 clip in December. Even hitting at 35% would be a massive boost to Portland's long-term future given Clingan's abilities at the other end of the court.

 

[BassPlaya]

Cool...we're playing 5 on 4!

 

[Cugel]

Be nice to get Grant back in business to give Deni some rest now and then. Hasnt been able to get going really since coming back. I look for him to have a big game tonight.

Agreed. But I will say he had a couple of nice drives that were sweet. (couple of steals as well)
His 3-ball looks rusty, though.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We just came off of 3 days of rest before last night, so have to imagine Grant and Holiday both play. The Raptors' record is inflated by being in the East - they're the 3rd seed out there. We'd be in that spot if we were in that conference.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Wouldn't be shocked either way with this game.

Raptors are playing well and can certainly beat us. But we've played very well lately and can beat all but the very best teams. The raptors aren't the best. Have some advantages being at home, back to back without travel aren't hard. But year were not always going to be winning 80% of our games.

The Blazers have victories against 5 of the 6 top teams in the Western Conference.

OKC, San Antonio, Houston, Denver, and the Lakers.

Interesting that Rob is questionable? I thought he was for sure not playing BTBs.

I hope he can play.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well, at least we get Jrue and Jerami.
But it sure would be nice to add Deni and Williams as well

Are you sure about that? Strangely, we are 5-8 against the East.

 

[THE HCP]

No Deni FAMS!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

No Deni FAMS!

Thanks, yeah makes sense.

 

[THE HCP]

Any out of towners…….any of you people listen to the games? How?

 

[THE HCP]

We are NOT broadcasting the Celtics game and I will be in the arena was wanting to hear Travis’ call. I might have the option of sitting WITH Travis, but not sure.
IHeart?

Seasons prior there was an audio league pass or something... Might even be able to use your league pass account to listen, maybe test with another team.

I think I heart radio or whatever streaming of the normal radio station is blocked for NBA games.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

One big problem with that live is your going to have a delay on the audio.

Unless you can physically sit next Travis lol

Thanks for the great tickets Bobobrewski!!!

I am going to ask Travis to just stay 4 seconds behind and I will be fine.

You don’t want to meet ol’ one eye.
