We lost to them last time in Portland w/o Aldridge, and it highlighted one of the weaknesses of our team: we're really a bad shooting team.
Although generally not THAT bad. 0-22 from behind the arc, 74 points in the paint but an 8 point loss.
Blazers aren't a great 3-PT shooting team which is good news for us, but still gotta be wary of Lillard and Matthews, and Batum to a lesser extent.
Aldridge should be able to have a good game, but the overall superiorities of the Nuggets ESPECIALLY the bench , along w/ HCA should prove to be overwhelming. There's a reason Nuggets are 9 point favorites, and I think they'll cover that number.
Bigger test is tomorrow at OKC. Let's save our legs.
