Should be a good one tonight. Wizards-Blazers, Wiz won 6 straight, Damian Lillard averaging 39.1 ppg over his last 11 G.
And Rick Ross is performing after the game. pic.twitter.com/qc1oE1U4k3 – 10:21 AM

Damian Lillard is on a full-fledged heater. Are the Blazers back on track? Trades? Signing day. Alex Fowler sets UP scoring record. Too early Super Bowl picks:

Just a reminder that myself and many other reporters close to the Jazz have said for weeks/months that Vando is likely to be traded. Also, Dame literally said he wanted Vando on the Blazers. – 6:26 PM

Prediction: the 24-28 Lakers will be the only Western Conference team with multiple All-Stars.
The other 10 All-Stars will come from teams with better records:
LeBron and AD from the Lakers
Jokic, Sabonis, Booker, Zion, Luka, Curry, Dame, Ja, PG, Lauri from everyone else. – 6:09 PM

About 2 years ago, Portland arrived in New Orleans at 4:30 p.m. on the day of the game. Portland bussed from the airport to the arena. Dame dropped 43. Portland won. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 2:32 PM

Josh Hart: No one more deserving. Congrats Zero @Dame_Lillard -via Twitter @joshhart / February 3, 2023
Heard about a very unique photo session in Phoenix this week. Alvan Adams, the Suns forward who was the NBA’s rookie of the year in 1976, stopped by to get his picture taken with Scottie Barnes, the 2022 rookie of the year. I’m told Adams is gathering pictures with every rookie of the year since he won. Of all the players still around, the only one he’s missing right now is Portland’s Damian Lillard. And I’d think a series of photos would be a wonderful keepsake, much better than, say, an autograph or a jersey. -via Toronto Star / February 3, 2023
