Wow, Do Not Lose This Game
I hate to reiterate how easy this stretch of games is, but let’s just say it again. The Blazers should win tonight, and should win big. They flirted with the 40 point lead mark during the last game with the Bulls, and if they come out with even a bit of fire, they should put them down. It would be one of the worst losses of the season if it didn’t happen. Let’s take a look at the Bulls’ last few games.
They have gone .500 on this homestand so far, a respectable number, and one the Blazers have been guilty of putting up over their last few games. It’s respectable until you look at who they played: the Not-Sonics, T-Wolves, Wizards, and Kings. They could only take half of the games. The Blazers are the first good team they’ve faced in over a week, so let’s make sure the team lets them know about it. My hopes lie in more easy dunks for Greg Oden, and perhaps some more of that “Travis not playing terribly” thing. It’s pretty cool. Oh yeah, easy win means more rest for Brandon, if the Blazers need more motivation for the game.
