Man, this feels like a stinking trap game. Harden won't be playing, so the Blazers won't have that as a motivator. The Blazers are on a back-to-back while the Rockets haven't played since Friday. D'Antoni ripped the Rockets' defense last week and has had five full days to work on game planning for the Blazers.

So, what to do? Go with the full-on homer prediction. My justification: Dame and CJ are due for a breakout game and the Rockets "defense" is as good of place for it to happen as anywhere.

You know it's your fault if they lose, right?

If I jump on a horse, catch up the Zach train and jump on, then he starts to play bad will that also be my fault?

You shouldnt ask questions to which you already know the answer.
of course!

No, I'm serious about that one. The train is gone man. You will very quickly realize that you should've boarded that train when you had a chance but even if you catch up your not going to be viewed the same as the rest of the passengers who believed!

Well Im very worried about how people view me.

 

[e_blazer]

Well Im very worried about how people view me.

As well you should be. You're still not tenured around here.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

As well you should be. You're still not tenured around here.

Well in this particular case I’m not.
I feel like Im consistant with how I feel about Zach and almost all young players. I want to see a couple years before Im on board. Ive said mostly good things about Zach, love his defense, last year saw some flashes of offensive potential, this year the defense is still there, and his offense seems to be coming along great. I just want to see more. If others want to jump on the train and ride off thats fine. If they want to view me differently if I decide to jump on later thats fine too.

I hope Zach ends up being great, because thats good for the Blazers.

I cheer for him to succeed as much as anyone here does, I just want a larger sample size before I say yup he’s a future allstar or DPOY or whatever.
All said and done Ive advocated for him to start this year, and I believe at this points all signs are pointing up for him, but its a long season.
