15 Thoughts vs. Chicago 11/19

(Look at Deng's face. He's flabbergasted by that beard.)

Aside from still being angry about last night, we should focus on more important teams that are from legit cities; enter tonight's match-up with Chicago. The Bulls sporting the same record as the Oakland-ites come to town after getting dropped in Los Angeles last night. Oh, and those Bulls also have yet to win on the road, so Blazers, let's keep it that way.

15 time!

2. Battle of the Rookies: Oden vs. Rose. Toss Up
