Blazers vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Clips have won 4 of their last 5. We has lost 3 of our last 4. The Blazers haven't played since being beaten by Amare Stoudemire last Sunday night. Rick Brunson, in true ex-Blazer style, has been starting in place of Marco Jaric and scored 18 to help the Clippers beat Denver on Monday. Maggette got 33!

Any win has become difficult for Portland as of late. Hopefully that "I'll show you" attitude that traded players get will give Darius Miles extra motivation. Somebody has GOT to snap out of it. The Blazers will be facing ex coach Mike Dunlevey as well. I believe Damon is the only Blazer left that had him as coach. I am sure Mo would like to hand a loss to Dunlevey. Come on guys, you can do this!

Theo is questionable for tonight's game.

UPDATE: Terrible loss. There was no excuse for this one. Second chance points KILLED us. We needed Zach for rebounds if nothing else. Hello Mo? Damon gets it going and he sits? Ruben? He's a monster who should never see the bench, I'm ready to see him start.
Losing SAR makes it worse. His elbow is as troublesome as Pip's knee was. I don't expect to see him playing much for the next few months, if again. I sure hope Darius is OK.
Come on Nash-GO GET JIMMY JACKSON!
