I strongly believe that the Blazers will get their first win and the Hornets will get their first loss of the season tonight. Here is why I believe this:
1. The Hornets guard will be down since they beat the Blazers pretty easily the first time.
2. The Blazers will be out for revenge.
3. The Blazers record is only so bad because they had an off game against the Hornets, while the other two games they played were against Spurs and Rockets.
4. All three games were away at the opponent's home opener
5. The Blazers will have their home opener this time and they are a team that are really into their fans, so they'll be pumped.
6. Jarrett Jack has played TERRIBLY but will not start tonight.
7. The Blazers are rested, the Hornets played last night.

When I'm wrong, I admit it. So, I will be bumping this thread regardless. Don't expect me to right away though, because I'll be at the game and have quite a drive home before getting back to my PC.
Re: Blazers to hand the Hornets their first loss...
I would love to see a win too. Aldridge shouldn't have problems shooting over West. Roy should be able to get by Mo Pete. The key will be stopping Stojakovic. Webster has been getting the bulk of the minutes at SF, but he's no defender. If Peja gets hot, then I suggest to insert Outlaw. Jack will have his hands full with CP3.

I've thought about going and hitting up some scalpers to go to the game. I would rather just watch this one on TV I think. It's going to take Roy, Aldridge, and Webster to win this game. All three of them need to bring their A game to win this game.
Re: Blazers to hand the Hornets their first loss...
Wow Tyson Chandler slapped away Aldridge's hand not once but twice in front of a ref, it was so blatant, and Aldridge gets the foul. That makes me sick.
