these are dangerous games if you're not ready to play. these guys have nothing to lose and everything to gain. they're going to be playing loose, free and fast, and they're going to have no conscious about shooting shots early in the shot clock. throw out the scouting report and just get ready to play. jazz could put them away early, but if they don't, this could be a trap.
Just noticed that as well and came in to see if it had been mentioned. Hopefully the Blazers players are still apathetic.for what it's worth, this is also portland's last home game -- not that a team gets magical powers on "fan appreciation night" or whatever... just know that they might pretend to care.
