Can a mod edit the title to say February 1, 2014? Thanks.
 
DeRozan and Johnson will both be game time decisions I think.

Damnit. Now the wittiness of my post is gone.

I'm going to PM a mod about this.

Less than 3 hours from tip and the game thread is on the second page. I have a feeling it's going to be a short thread...

Wow. How many posts per page do you do?

Epic fail. Read the post wrong.

Regardless, It was made a couple days ago... that's why it got down so far.

I'm scared re this game. Kyle Lowry not getting chosen for the All-Star game was deemed the biggest snub this year, and Demar DeRozen thought he deserved a nod as well. So I'm thinking the Raptors are up sky high for making a statement game. Our only advantage is that the time zones favor our energy over theirs, and the Blazers had two bad losses in a row and really don't want a third one. I just feel this team often underestimates the teams not in the top 6, and that could be their downfall tonight. But then, there's the Rose Garden crowd. I think we'll squeak out a win. If we bring great defense, we could stomp out a win by the end of the 3rd, but I think that's still a work in progress...!
 
Random thought

The Cavs are rumored to be shaking their roster up in the next few weeks.

I want to see Olshey turn Dorell Wright in to CJ Miles

Everyone hates CJ miles over there... Can't see why we'd like him much more than Dorell.

DeRozen DID make the All Star team
 
No. I read about a DeM who was unhappy about not being picked and I didn't follow the Eastern All-Stars. Just care about the West. That said, I've like the Pacers for a few years now and I hope they beat the Heat this year.
 
Happy Chinese year of the Horse! (my personal chinese zodiak sign) should bring me good luck! What I want for Chinese New Years is a blowout win over the Raptors!
 
Lillard thanking the crowd... says he and LMA "Will represent the state of Oregon" in NO
