Win for lose you can post the link you like to post. I'll just say Sharpe and Ayton out for tonight. Rudy still questionable. This SHOULD be a W.

Highly confident for this game. Nervous against the DET Pistons though.

They will be pissed after last nights meltdown. We better have our guard up.

I think we're a team that Takes Care of Business. Therefore I am not nervous about Blazers or the Pistons.

Will they?

Tonight is not only the 2nd night of a back-to-back, but also their 7th and final game on a brutal road trip. They've been blown out in 5 of the 6 games, and they beat a struggling (1-8 over their past 9 games) Nets squad in OT.

I think its more likely that they lie down than rise up.

Edwards 3 assists in the first 7:30 tonight. Does that mean he's playing team ball? Is that how we determine it?

I like that Anthony Edwards is trying to find Rudy Gobert, even if one of the passes resulted in a turnover. Really important for the long-term ceiling of this team.

Jaden McDaniels' **** attitude is incredibly lame. Dude needs to grow up.

This looks like a team that’s quit on their coach.

The Pistons would blow these guys out.

Something to remember...

We rarely have had the chance for our offensive rating and other statistics to get buoyed with many games like this against some of the league's worst.

I really think that Shake Milton should be getting another look, in this sort of lineup. Jordan McLaughlin is a great stabilizer, but the lack of shot-creation is rough.

We are losing the 2nd quarter and badly so. That is NOT taking care of business. Time to get our sheet together.
