Minnesota Timber. Portland Trailblazers
Portland has won this season their two matches against Minnesota both with doubledigits. It was the time when Portland had their 17-1 run and Minnesota was weaker than weak. Minnesota still isn't much better they have two straight wins when Portland has dropped it's level being 5-11 in it's last 16 matches. Portland plays back-to-back but young team should have energy needed. Their yesterday's match against Cleveland was conserning because they lost their big lead and in the end they weren't able to score trough Cleveland defence. The positive thing was their defence worked fine. Can't see Minnesota being able to shut Portland's offence down and waiting big game by Roy and Aldridge. Portland's zone-defence should close Minnesota's offence down effectively including Jefferson. The possible tiredness is the biggest threat for Portland but in game their side should be bad match-up for Minnesota.
