Poor Orlando, after getting AA back last game and in a good good spot to get their first win in 12 games, turnovers got the best of them 19 to cavs 6 and a cavs big run finally did them in....but there were a few positives from the game. AA looked great with a solid 9/17 for 23 pts and Vucevic wow 12/19 for 25pts with a strong contribution by Nicholson (just announced to join the rising stars challenge, more on this in a few).
The Blazers, as most people know, are woeful on the road. Going 8-17. But looking every closer we can see exactly how putrid they are. Of their 8 wins on the road, they have an average margin of 6 pts (that is counting 3 OT games and one 17 pt blowout at Sacramento early in season who were missing a few players including Cousins). Clearly these guys have a lot of trouble on the road.
The last game these two teams played in Portland was a good game, went to OT (reddick went off that game, and he might actually play tonight)
With AA back in his second game, I expect solid numbers for an excited Nicholson (recognition), Vucevic should get a double/double.
Like the magic to get a W here to avoid 13 game losing streak (not since 04 have they not had such a terrible streak with that infamous Doc coached team that started 0-19), will take the plus 4 though as its offered to me this very moment. No need to classify any "pounder" or "large", just a solid play and play it accordingly.
