I'm bracing for another huge game from Love against LMA.

Wasn't it the last game here against us that Love absolutely DESTROYED us?

 

[NorthBayBaller]

I think Love will be rusty tonight. He had a big game Wednesday, but his teammates stood around and watched him play. I'm hoping he does better than his 2-9 from 3 that he had Wednesday. Portland has a good group of starters, but no bench. It would be fun to watch these 2 teams play if the Wolves were full strength with Rubio and Budinger. Too bad Roy is done.

Hey no Oden pics in my post, what do you know?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How is Love's return going to impact Kirilenko? Nowadays he plays PF, right? So is he sliding over to SF now? That'll reduce his effectiveness, which is a shame, because he's been great. If I were Adelman I would play Love at C more, particularly given his lack of foot speed. (But then that cuts into Pekovic's minutes...)

I can't wait for this game. After so much of their hype, we're gonna destroy them.

I wouldn't get too confident. I've never, and I mean NEVER, seen a bench as bad as ours. It has to be historically bad.

From the article, not the comments:

That said, per 100 possessions, Portland's offense functions better without Batum than it does with him this year. He's also only a net positive as a small forward....he's slight negative at shooting guard, and a massive negative in the very small time he's played power forward.

That's the problem I think they had Wedn. AK had his worst game of the season and I think it's from not wanting to step on Love's toes.

I laugh when homers guarantee wins before the game's even played.

 

[KingSpeed]

I can't wait. Biggest game of the year.

Division foe

A half a game separating the teams

The team that took Bayno and Roy, and tried to take Batum, from Portland

Rick Adelman

Luke Ridnour

Portland's own Kevin Love vs our stud LaMarcus Aldridge

I cannot wait.

Is Hickson definitely playing?

 

[Darkwebs]

Is Hickson definitely playing?

Yeah, according to the updates from the Oregonian

LOL @ AK47 > Batum

And the Blazers have about as much chance of winning the title as the TWolves do.

 

[BrianFromWA]

semi-OT and amazing, but PHX doesn't look that good against powerhouse NOH tonight.

 

[Derick rick]

boom boom Batuuuuuuuum is going To destroy AK, the poster above is correct, Ak is a power forward I believe.

Looks like those rubechat douches are here

 

[BrianFromWA]

Close...Hutchinson.

Welcome, Derick rick.

 

[Derick rick]

not close.

 

[Derick rick]

Kevin Love sucks.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Roy in the building?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Kevin Love sucks.

Having fun gobbles03?

 

[BrianFromWA]

he's the closest thing you have to an All-star since KG, right?

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh Minnesota announcers

Love IS an All Star. Not close to it.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

This game will be a good audition for Pekovic. If he plays well maybe we will open our wallet next year to sign him away from that hellhole Minnesota.

 

[Derick rick]

I'd say Damian Lillard goes for 30 tonight.
