Obviously, containing Chris Paul is the biggest task for the Trail Blazers tonight. Paul is like the "Little Engine that Could" in the Hornets offense and if they can contain him, it'll show up on the scoreboard.

As for the rest of the Hornets, there isn't really a dominant scorer out there. Peja Stojakovic is capable of lighting up the scoreboard, but he has an incredibly difficult time finding his own shot. As for Tyson Chandler, well, if he's the Hornets leading scorer than the Trail Blazers finished tonight with a win.

One player who might give this smaller Portland lineup problems is power forward David West. West is a big body who has a nice touch around the basket.

West already has 8 points with 5:47 left in the first quarter.

Worst news for the Trail Blazers is that LaMarcus Aldridge has already picked up foul #3. Tyson Chandler has done his best Vlade Divac impression early on, and the refs have given him the benefit of the doubt.
