Gameday Thread: Miami Heat at Portland Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers, finally enjoying a rested stretch at home, return to action against the Miami Heat this evening. The Heat look like a MASH unit right now, with Josh Richardson, Dion Waiters, Justise Winslow, and Blazers legend Luke “When did I get traded to Miami?” Babbitt either out, or unlikely to play tonight. Derrick Williams is expected to make his return.

I won’t lie to you, this should be a pretty easy Blazers victory tonight. We’ll see.

Now, let’s have some Christmas music. I was trying to decide if I could pick a musician relevant to the Heat, who also did some tunes for the holidays. I asked the wife. She just kind of looked at me and said, “Seriously? Just link up a couple songs from Gloria Estefan”.

Alright, she wins. Here are her two most well-known Christmas songs. First, the undeniably sappy “Christmas Through Your Eyes”.

And second, her chipper cover of Donny Hathaway’s classic, “This Christmas”.
