Since we play down to our competition, I’m guessing this game is going to be tight.

However, if we get a lead I’d like for Snyder to try out different lineups. Give Butler and Pascall some burn. These are the games to experiment with. It’ll be a travesty if Conley, Clarkson, and Gobert end up playing 30+ mins tonight.

Expect the starters to be on the floor when there are two minutes left in the 4th.

Hahaha. Exactly.

Seriously, anyone else notice this? Like we’ve got to be In the majority right? Seems like we routinely play our starters late into the 4th despite having commanding leads. And it’s weird because… well, why are we doing that? Why risk Rudy breaking? Why not see what Pascal can do? Why not unleash Butler? Teams aren’t going to overtake a 20 pt lead in 5-10 mins. If you really don’t have any confidence in the bench, then just send the bench guys out here to run a stall. Get shot clock violations for the final 5 mins of a game. Lol right?

Paschall out tonight for personal reasons.

Mike Smith talks a lot.

Amazing what a good 3 point shooter Joe is. For a slow old fat bald white guy. But still amazing.

I said to my mom that Mike Smith was on the broadcast. Who, she asked. The talker dude. She nods.

Can't believe Blazers fired their coach because of poor defense and never really shown any flashes of improvement. Real good planning there.

The trouble with liking Lillard so much is I am now feeling bad for Portland.

Too much. I like him in the post game though.

This. Tough to let my schadenfreude shine through.

Dear lord I beseech thee, let's see some of what Jared Butler can do tonight.

I’ll take him instead of Holly.
