Call me delusional, but I think the Blazers will get a bounce back victory here. Portland is hungry for a win, and will not want to lose twice in SA in less than a month's time. Blazers will have two full days off to rest and prepare for their opponent.

Moreover, the Spurs will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, flying home from Orlando. They are an older team, so it's harder for them to bounce back physically. Though I guess it depends on who/how Popovich, the OG coach of load management, rests his players. Will LMA sit the night before so he can play his old team?

I guess we'll find out.

 

[Darkwebs]

Don't you think it's an odd choice of jerseys for the game? Blazers are wearing black and the Spurs will be wearing gray. They are both a dark color (or shade), so there isn't much contrast. Boy, I hope the opposing teams doesn't pass the ball to each other on accident.

It's surprising that the Blazers didn't choose one of their red uniforms to juxtapose those dull Spurs jerseys.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Jeeze you put the most brutal poll question of all time up there...

 

[Strenuus]

Darkwebs that is the most cruel poll you have ever created. How dare you.

*clicks nate McMillan*

This is on you.

Lol. You said I was drunk it the previous game thread. Guess you were right.

 

[B-Roy]

Nate's team is 8th in APG, 7th in ORTG and 10th in DRTG right now.

Hmm.....definitely some food for thought.

 

[BonesJones]

Nate's changed, improved, adapted...

 

[B-Roy]

Oh, and Nate is missing his best player and third best player.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Oh look, another game for Stotts to fuck up

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Important road trip coming. Spurs coming b2b - then we have rockets, new orleans, bucks (coming b2b); cavs and bulls. We need to comeback at least 3-3 on this road. 4 wins would be awesome

 

[THE HCP]

Oh look, another game for Stotts to fuck up

And another chance for “Blazer Fans” to bail on their squad when the chips are down.

That should be an advantage for the Blazers since they don't pass nearly as much as Spurs.

I really need the league to revert back to home white, and road dark setup. This shit is too confusing.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Can somebody post the recent Quick article from the athletic

Apparently they don’t do the 3 free articles a month anymore

I love those Spurs jerseys. Grey is my favorite color. I feel attacked.

Oh, when I said "dull", I mostly meant lacking in brightness.

But I respect your opinion. When it comes to aesthetics, I think it's subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[DDolla]

Rebecca Haarlowe or Brooke? Sorry I don’t have any related questions to ask regarding the Blazers

 

[kjironman1]

Anyone who was around for 7 years of Mc Lipity Lips should gladly have Stotts as the Blazers head coach.

Check out how mc Lipity lips team is doing. (Without their best and third best player no less!)

 

[KingSpeed]

Nate's team is 8th in APG, 7th in ORTG and 10th in DRTG right now.

Nate also gets to play teams like the Bulls and Pistons every night.

 

[KingSpeed]

Does anyone know if Melo will be playing in this game? If yes, I really want to go to it!! What number is Melo wearing?
