    If MCW can’t do it tonight, he never will. Looking for a big game from him. Well, hoping, anyway...

    Schedule Alert! The Blazers are playing their fourth game in six days, third game in four days and the second of a back-to-back set in Houston. The Rockets, meanwhile, enter with a three-day rest advantage. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook currently has the Rockets at 4.5-point favorites.

    We are so not winning this game.
    I don’t get how we’re favourites.
    Clearly no one has watched us play the first 5 games.

    If we don't look a step faster than them I'm going full blown panic mode :)

    Seriously tho , I doubt it's like MDA has us running hard in practice . Maybe we are just out of shape (and old)

    I'm sending out what good juju I can, but we've got a confused defense, an offense missing the guy that is easily our best weapon, and a mix of new players that have collectively given a hard slap upside our collective heads early this season. I don't know about everyone else's head, but mine is reeling, along with our Rockets. I trust Morey to do what he can to fix a transition far more difficult than I think he expected, driven in large part by the sudden departure of Jeff Bzdelik, and he needs to add a defensive guru to the staff as soon as he can, in my opinion. Someone of the caliber of Jeff B.

    Morey is clearly not finished with building the team for this season. A lot of what he wants to do is not entirely dependent on what he's willing and able to do, in my opinion. I'm hoping for action soon, but we can't wait for that to start winning some games. He'll add a piece or pieces to the roster. I think we're all expecting that. Who they are may surprise us (Daryl loves his surprises), or they could be someone we think is close to being acquired, like Butler. Whatever happens, I hope I like it. I'm nervous as a cat. We need to finish fueling the Rocket and blast that sucker off. Tonight would be a start.

    Mike: One of our best defense is the switching. It's not the switching that hurts us. It's the transition, turnovers early, not matching up defensively when we get back, it's committing a silly foul at the end of guarding somebody well & you bail them out by fouling, those are the things. The one on one, everyone will do the best they can do. That doesn't hurt us. It's the other little things. We gotta work through those issues. Show them film, talking, going through things, we'll tweak when we can. We gotta just defend better. We gotta play better.

    Game starts with a score allowed in the paint and a missed layup on offense.

    Capela is a joke this season. Just going to cash those new bigger cheques.
