Blazers are not winning again this season.
Clippers and Warriors need wins to escape playin.

"congratulations" for Blazers for most shamless throwing season since Blazers 2021-22

Glad my jinx worked. Hell, it worked better than expected.

Tankers, you're welcome.

Yup. I have been saying this before. The 7th spot always jumps over the others. This is where i want us to be.

Clutch loss, but shame that the Blazers lost after leading by 10 late.

Bol and Moe are great tank commanders. They are shameless chuckers who shoot horribly from 3, are getting abused on D and are turnover prone, especially Bol. Not that their teammates apart from Suggs were much better, and even he had a pretty bad second half. Okeke's shot looks completely gone.

yes. IMO, his ceiling is still undetermined but I really hope they hang on to him (in the event of any major trade for a scoring guard). I really think a guy like him, with his intensity and defense, will always have a significant role...and, if he takes another significant jump, he could be a lot more than that.

I really like him in a backcourt with a guy like Poole or even Simons...as a very complementary defender and, ultimately, a lot more than that. He's just got that QB leadership/big moment "thing", IMO...if his shooting and ball handling keep evolving, he could be something big - and even if they don't, his defense can be game-changing at the point of attack.

Orlando is currently in a 3-way tie for 6th worst team.

I think the Magic will end up in a two-way tie for 6th worst with Washington.

Although if Houston beats Charlotte tonight, they might tank the finale against the Wizards as hard as possible.
