Just a note about the game tonight. Haven’t missed a blazer game in years, went to every home game vs the Bucs since Greek freak has been on the Bucs, I’ve routinely said this matchup is the toughest in the entire nba for the blazers outside of golden state of course.
The Bucs are freakishly long. Giannis is a matchup nightmare for everyone. But they have a long team that causes trouble for an undersized blazer team. Every time I watch them play every bucket seems difficult for the blazers, and only way they win is by shooting the lights out or the Bucs don’t show up. As far as styles making fights, this matchup for the blazers is a bad one. (Similar to the problem New Orleans posed in the playoffs)
Blazers are my team but taking the Bucs -1 tonight.
