    Blazers lost two over the weekend Fri (to Clippers) and Sat (to Nuggets). The DEN loss was closer. Simons had left knee tendernitis, he played 20 min on Fri, didn't play on Sat. Have to see if he'll be available.

    --- Possible starters for them.
    Kris Murray
    Toumani Camara
    Duop Reath
    Anfernee Simons ( Rayan Rupert if Anfernee sits out )
    Scoot Henderson

    --- bench
    Moses Brown
    Dalano Banton
    Jabari Walker
    Ashton Hagans (if Rupert goes to the starting lineup)


    They're going full youth right now (tank), it's equivalent of that Wizards lineup we faced recently.

    Id say the Blazers have better young talent than the Wizards.

    Yes for upside. They have two high recent picks in Henderson and Sharpe. Sharpe had surgery last month, his return timetable is unknown. Henderson has high upside, but for a top pick, he arguably had one of the worst rookie year for his draft class.

    I'm usually cautious when talking about opponents, but this Blazers team is in evaluation mode. No Brogdan, no Thybulle, no Jerami Grant, no Ayton. Gone because of either injury or for tanking.

    Had a couple posters challenging the pre-game comment on the Wizard game. That game ended up 137 (rockets) -114 (wiz).


    Blazers have enough vet and young players where it's possible they turn it ON in future years. Definitely not right now. They current L-streak is 6.

    Anfernee most likely will sit out this game. This is a must win

    Ayton might get a 30/20 double double today but as long as we can check Simmons we’ll be ok. Sucks not having Jabari out there.

    Rockets have the 8th best record in the league at home, going to be a tough one for Portland.

    Going to need Jeff to step up in Smiths absence

    Against THE Jock Landale?
