We have won the last two meetings, but I'm not so sure about this one. This a scrappy Blazers team and it's at the Rose Garden. Of course I have been wrong before.

**Prince** · 01-21-2013, 05:08 PM

That is the Ersan we need on a more consistent basis.

I only saw the first half, thought they were really going to put the trailblazers away early.
