World famous for our carpet that no longer is even installed.

Aaaaah!!!! Well, TIL that PDX = Portland International Airport.

I had always thought that it was some sort of a medical acronym or something like that.

Oh shoot, now two scrubs from Lake O are gonna drop double nickels on us

 

[Pimpis Zajoba]

Blazers at Kings betting line went from Kings -5 to Kings -11.

I'll spare you my rant on the alphabet soup that proceeds people's names working in academia.

Crap! The only thing worse for the Kings would be if Portland were playing a back to back.

Rest?!! After the all-star break. Either they are starting their tank or the NBA has a problem.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

No Lillard, no Grant, no Simons, no Nurkic?

Now im nervous

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Yeah...

This is shaping up to be one of those (rare) games where I will be surprised if we DO win...

Well, "rare" in terms of this season.

 

[NewArena]

No Lillard, no Grant, no Simons, no Nurkic?

It's absolutely insane that we all feel the same way lmao please win this, Kings. I BEG! Would be nice to win by double figures so we can rest our guys for a tough one tomorrow.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Just don’t tell any of the Kings players before the game

 

[iowamcnabb]

I want Keegan on the rook

 

[Kingz19]

Oh gawd. Dame and Grant out. Well atleast they aren’t on a back to back so there is still hope the Kings can pull this one out.

 

[midtowner]

The Kings are going to win by 20. I’m locking it!

 

[est.1999]

How you out for “rest” after a week off?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

The Kings are going to win by 20. I’m locking it!

We'll be in contact after the Blazers walk out of THE G1C having won by 20+...

Just sayin'

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Shaedon Sharpe's career high is 20. Likely will be higher by the end of the night.

When your "ownership" mandates tanking...

THAT is how.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

THAT is how.

They don't have ownership. Which is the biggest problem because their GM is just completely in over his head and nobody will do anything about it until someone buys the team. But for whatever reason there seems to be no urgency from Jody Allen finding a buyer, but I'm pretty sure Paul left it under no uncertain terms she would not inherit the club.

With our "defense", wouldn't be surprised if it is higher after the first 12...

 

[206Fan]

This should be an easy win. If we lose, we'd be the biggest playoffs pretenders in the league. There's no reason why we should lose to a team like the Blazers without their top 3 players...

I'm expecting a comfortable win, maybe blowout?

 

[KF8]

This is a game that we should win, but I'm getting flashbacks of the Pelicans game.

Guessing they called in sick after sitting on the tarmac yesterday and then going back home.

 

[fansinceday1]

A loss to this quarter of a blazer team would be devastating. No ifs ands or butts about that. This is a must win. Even the homers on 1320 said as much. They have NO BUSINESS losing to this team.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

This is about as must-win as it gets. First game in the final stretch of the season where you are making your Playoff push. The final 25 games are brutal so every game is huge, especially against these West teams. They’re missing four of their starters. You have a back to back against LAC, who don’t play tonight, so that’s a schedule loss. We HAVE to get this win tonight!!!

 

[kingdivac]

They should just ppd the game.

 

[Livinthedream]

They should just ppd the game.

Nah. Take the advantage and play the game.

 

[mrlaze]

Does Portland even have enough players to play?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Portland chose to rest players. I think they should have postponed the flight and in that case the game, but from what I know this morning Dame wanted to play.
