Portland is just a total fukking mess. Gerald Wallace might as well not even exist as a basketball player because he doesn't exist on the road. In fact, he is so bad they would be much better off without him. With him on the court, in road games, it's like the blazers are playing 4 on 5. He just provides NOTHING. No scoring, no rebounding, no defense - he is just a pathetic pylon out there, it's embarrassing
Until portland can rip off some impressive road wins in a row I'm fading them. They morph into this ugly jumpshooting team on the road and don't even go for rebounds or play D. Hell, they've kinda been that way at home lately as well.
Minny is just on a roll and I'm not too sure Portland has the mental makeup or intestinal fortitude to thwart that right now. Only way Minny loses is if they take this game lightly and beat themselves. I don't see Portland actually taking it away from them if Minny comes to play
