I'm really glad it's on Comcast as well as ESPN...not TNT. If it was TNT the early game would go to triple OT and we'd miss the 1st half

the playoffs are here early tonight!!

eeeesh...Gal Gadot. I'm looking forward to the quarterly GLB pics almost as much as the game!

A lot more is riding on this than the #3 seed. I don't think we will see more than one more year of Lillard+McCollum if we lose this game

GLB better be on point tonight!

We need some luck on our side for this game.

Would love to see Portland get the 3rd seed tonight. But sadly, I won't be able to watch the game. My dream scenario is that this is a preview of the WCF. Who said dreams had to be realistic?

Normally the home teams do well in these last game playoff match ups. I'm expecting a Blazers win

I think Paul Allen would have to pivot to sour and fire Olshey before we see any change to that Blazer back court pairing

Take that glb out. Gal Gaddot supports an Army who kills Children

No politics on the board. Feel free to PM each other but I just need to nip this in the bud before it goes farther. Public discussion on politics/current affairs can go to the current affairs subforum found in OffTopic. Thank you!

Need to end the season on a high note by securing the 3rd seed and ending our losing streak, while also ending the wining streak of a potential playoff rival.

My man. Do not talk current affairs and political talk here. Next person will get a warning.

I don't care what happens in this game but it'd be nice to win the now worthless division title

The most important game of the night for the Blazers is not the one they are playing. If NO beats San Antonio, the Blazers can rest their starters, lose the game, and get HCA as the 4th seed over the Pelicans. That would be an ideal situation IMO.

If the Blazers shooting woes are due to fatigue, they really need rest before they start a playoff series. Why get into a dog fight, one you could end up losing anyway.

I really don't think playing the Pelicans is ideal. Jrue is a good defensive guard and fast so he can give Dame problems. AD is just a monster no matter what. Mirotic is playing really great for New Orleans and presents a problem for us, especially if Moe is still out.

I just don't think playing the Pelicans is a good call.

I want the 3rd seed so if we win our first series we face either a possibly injury riddled Golden State or have home court in the 2nd round. If we are the 4 seed we would likely face Houston in the 2nd round and that would be a tougher road to hoe

There is no way they rest the players for this game Stotts is trying for that 3rd seed period.
