The Blazers better lose this damn game and shoot for the 8th pick--they double their chances at both a Top 4 pick and #1 pick if they get to number 8. The #8 has a 26.2% chance at a top 4 pick, and a 6% chance at #1. That's still pretty good odds at the Top 4. At #10 it would be 13.9% at the Top 4 and at #11 it would be 7.4%.

If they win tonight they still likely would have to go 8-0 or at the very least 7-1 in order to hit the play-in.

JUST LOSE THE DAMN GAME.

This seems like it'll be a tough game for Clingan. Sabonis likes to operate at about 13 feet, and plays very strong...

The body language on the team when Simons ends up in front of the play on defense, or just straight up gets cooked is veeeeeery interesting.

Wow. Chicago comes back and beats LA, Dallas wins, Heat win...Blazers lose tonight their essentially tied for the #8 pick. Come on Blazers you're doing great so far...let's not get hot.

It’s embarrassing at this point in the year with the season lost, Simons isn’t sitting and Scoot starting.

Yeah, at this point let’s lock up that 8 and call it a season.

I have to think once it becomes apparent the blazers idiotic play in dream is dead which should be after this loss the tanking effort should be pretty blatant to close out the season

Trade the whole team or do whatever it takes to get a top tier player. This roster isn't good enough consistently to be more than a perennial play in team at peak.

I heard the Homers on 620 the other day say it's just as hard to fill a roster with 2nd tier/3rd tier players as a 1st tier player. Nevermind the fact we probably couldnt get 1 if we offered up our entire roster.. I wonder if they even believe the crap they're saying?

big test now for Portland's collective management IQ...keep losing and have a shot at 8th seed in the lottery...or keep tilting at the play-in windmill and maybe end up with 12th seed in the lottery

Tank for best lottery odds possible.
