Randy’s Free Pick

The Portland Trail Blazers are on the end of a back to back and just blew a massive lead to the Lakers, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe the Trail Blazers will actually come out with better focus and finish a game for once. The San Antonio Spurs don't play a lick of defense, and they lose on the road by an average of 10.7 points. If the Trail Blazers can't blow the doors off here, something is wrong.
