15 Thoughts vs. Denver 12/22

The match-up we have all been waiting for is finally here! The team that the Blazers just can't seem to catch in the standings will act as host to a Western Conference battle. The Denver Nuggets will likely come into this game as the favorites and rightfully so, as they've been leading the Northwest all season long. Get ready for some fireworks; our boys are blazing right now! (A little pun intended there.)
