Two goals for this game:
- Figure out how we stop a great offensive center.
- Try different rotations, give a decent chance to Claver, maybe CJ also
 
Would love to see our starters only play about 25 min.

Kings got spanked tonight by OKC and most likely won't get to their hotel until 2AM.
 
I for one would love to see us come out and establish ourselves in the first quarter. We continually spot bad teams leads at home in the first quarter, and give them something to play for. Crush their spirits early.
 
Hey Darkwebs!

Just want to thank you for doing such a great job on these threads! I dont look at any other preview anymore, just get the facts from these.

He speaks for only himself and not the majority! I still believe The HCP creates the best game threads!
 
Hoping for a blowout, even if Boogie goes off for the Kings, I think we win this one big..51!

It is sad to see someone struggle with a false sense of worth...j/k
 
I think TRob will have a huge game against the team that drafted and dumped him tonight.
 
This is the kind of game we lose. Nothing at stake. They all are thinking about seeing themselves on TV after. Kings hungry to prove themselves against a playoff team so this matters to them. Could be an ugly blowout of the Blazers if they're not really fighting from round one.

Nothing at stake? 4th seed is still possible. And even more possible is dropping to 6th or even 7th if we're not careful.
 
Lately we've come out just playing. We need to try to develop a killer instinct for the playoffs. We're better than this team on almost every level. We need to crush them, step on their neck and then keep piling on.
 
Mo is inactive for tonight's game. Crabbe has been put on the active roster.

Amen. I was at the last game against Sacramento when Dame scored 41 but we lost. Gotta bounce back here.

Wow, thanks for the praise, though I'm not sure if I'm worthy of it (as HCP would attest).

Per ESPN,
Williams is inactive for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Spin: Williams has dealt with some minor knee issues and this appears to simply be the Blazers giving him a night of rest. Allen Crabbe, a rookie out of California, has been activated in his place.

Travis Outlaw sighting. Forgot he was still in the league.
 
Didn't know the Blazers had the 5th fewest turnover in the league. Good thing, because on those nights where they are turning it over, it really hurts them.

King, you are going to have to do some heavy lifting tonight! ;)
 
Milwuakee and Indiana tied with 30 seconds left. I know they sat their starters, but that's still embarrassing.
 
The Kings are atrocious defensively. Our offense looks good, haha

You expect us to beat the Bucks if we sat our starting 5 for the whole game? I don't. And Indy is going to win now.
 
Monster dunk by Rolo!
