Isn't Lillard's first kid due today? I wonder if he misses the game. If I were Stotts I'd tell him to go home--it's going to be a tough game for Portland to win anyway.
 
Most important game of the year so far, Dont @ me. CP3 made a layup last game when it was over. We dont forget that. Moda Center needs to be on FIRE for this game. I dont care if Allen pay the refs, i just wanna win this game. This is a big game. Make a statement, show all the nba fans: we are real. Lets make this one Blazers. Must win game.

I hated how many Warriors jerseys were in the stands on the 9th. That won't be the case tomorrow. The crowd has no excuse to not be insane for this game.

I just pray the Rockets don't silence them in the first quarter.

I figure we've got the advantage at two positions and they've got the advantage at two positions.

We've got the better bench, better coach and home court advantage.

I predict that we win in spite of Harden being quite a bit better than CJ.

I wonder if Gerald Green will be suspended for this one. He shoved Dieng really hard into the stands tonight.

Probably the one after, the league needs the rockets to be at full

Sounds like a great name for a band.

Or a children book. Maybe not. Definitely not (*).

(*) I always think of Sly as a lap dog (**), not a working herding dog.
(**) Denny is the white haired old lady in this scenario.

It will be interesting to see what the league does with Green. Paul was off balance and stumbling when Dieng "assisted" him to the floor. Even CP3 admits Dieng didn't really push him that hard. Plus, it happened during a live action scuffle for a loose ball. Green shoved Dieng into the crowd after the ball already was out of bounds.



Chris Paul seems to be lobbying for a fine and has offered to pay the fine for Green. Not sure how much missing Green would hurt HOU. He's been shooting poorly lately (.301 3FG% in the last 10 games hes played) and has received 3 DNPs in HOU's last 10 games. Still he was playing well at MIN prior to the ejection and losing him would hurt their depth.
