Lillard and McCollum have torn us apart in the past, they play the Houston style just with not as many 3pt shooters. If they are on tonight we have almost no chance. Hopefully im wrong, this is the biggest game of the season thus far. A win puts us right there, a loss starts to put it out of reach. Portland just got decimated by the Warriors and Lillard publically called out the team, they will be looking to take out frustrations tonight.
[Game] Kings v. Trailblazers - 12/20/16 - 7:30PT/10:30ET
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Some stats from nba.com's power ranking this week:
1) the Kings have a top 10 defense over the last three weeks
2) but rank 29th offensively in that same time (roughly since we got that longbreak and Rudy came down to Earth and now has disappeared)
3) They've played 12 of their last 14 games on the road, but are traveling again after Tuesday's game against the Blazers, with their first real homestand since Thanksgiving not coming until January.
we'll need the defense, because with Rudy out, and any possibility of Omri getting hot from three out, we won't have the firepower to outscore these guys
