And here I'm thinking that this would be a good game to take Uber to and bring my flask.

Blazers announce Damian Lillard (ankle) is doubtful for Monday game vs. Toronto. Al-Farouq Aminu (back) and Evan Turner (ankle) probable.

No Dot's, by the way. Still in Deer Island trying to get my mom to leave...hehe

 

[Cippy91]

I think we lose tonight obviously, I have no reason to believe other wise but lets say we win, does that even give anybody hope? honestly we are at a point where I think even if we beat the Raptors, I would probably just think they were lucky to get the win, that's how bad I think we are.
