Television: ESPN - 7:30ish tip
Best Matchup - Lawson vs. Lillard. Going to really enjoy watching these two kids going at each other all night. Bother are fast and fearless, also they play a little, but not much of defense. I could see this breaking down to a bit of a one on one type affair. Who ever gets double teamed and consistently passes out to find their open team mates is going to be huge.
Coach vs. Coach - Our beloved George Karl going up against his former pupil, Terry Stotts. I think George is going to show Stotts a few more things tonight.
Prediction: I think this is going to be a scrappy game for the most part. Denver should pull away late as Portland tires down. Thinking Denver 107, Portland 98.
