I don't think the Blazers have the same post defense Denver was able to employ. That said, it would be nice if somebody besides Dwight was able to create oppurtunities for players to score.

It would be nice if the players he passes to hit a damn shot. Like Va-JayJay for example shooting 22% the last 2 games. WOW He's so much better than Vince, wonder if the loss had anything to do with us not having a go to scorer..... NO of course not.

We have a go-to scorer. His name's Matt Barnes.

This is true...sad....but true. He is our go to scorer right now.

last game had nothing to do with a go to scorer..it was the defense in the 3rd quarter that collapsed

The same third quarter where we mustered an impressive 19 points? Yeah...Can't wait to get VC back. i like JJ in the eddie house role better anyway.

Unfortunately for us, we seem to have a tendency to do so.

I expect Miller to have a good game as jameer is clearly not 100% (and he's a mediocore defender as is.) Should be a huge game for D. howard...should. Lewis will stank it up, and Anderson cant stop anyone, Hopefully SVG comes to his senses and we'll have a Bass sighting.

I feel much better about this game. Howard should have his way with these depleted, but pesky Blazers.

Ummm... let's just not expect much. That's what we thought of the Pacers and Wizards as well

I can't explain it and I don't know why...But I have a feeling that something special will happen tonight, I think tonight is the start of something great.

We WILL win.

Would have loved to seen Oden vs Howard but alas.

As Dwight goes so goes the team. Dwight must be the best defensive player on the floor at all times.
If Vince plays timid coming off the injury it will continue his lousy season.
Looking for our PG's to initiate offense better.
If Barnes is anything more than a hustle/role player guy that's actually a bad sign.
Another chance for the starters to show they can improve their chemistry.
Looking for continued production from the bench - if the starters start matching the bench's effort this could be a very good sign that things are going in the right direction.

I don't know why, but I have the exact same feeling.

I've been smiling and beaming this whole entire day, and when I heard VC was going to play I thought this is our Chance.

I want Rashard to get out of his slump. I want Vince to have a huge impact. I want Jameer to get back up to speed, and I want Dwight to dominate.

Luckily Brandon Roy is not playing tonight. But this team is no pushover, guys like Martell and Bayless I have seen can score in bunches, and Aldrige is very good as well. Plus Rudy Fernandez is back, so don't expect anything easy.

I want this win badly. We need it. Let's go magic!!!
