I don't think Portland or Washington is likely to win again even though Washington plays Houston at home.

Houston is tied for the second worst record and has to play the Hornets and Washington to finish out the season. Their fans are definitely sweating bullets

I feel like there's less pressure there than the middle of the pack where us and everybody is.

Top 3 is same percentage so they're good, it's just their bottom range. Unless they're not wanting to get out of.. Jarace or aThompson range? But these names will all climb and drop over the next few months so we'll see.

I find it so funny that college teams have shooters but these g-leaguers can't.

538 had the Spurs as an 89% favorites this game. They also had us tied for 5th at 34-48 (which means they project us to lose out, haters). The importance of a win here for the Blazers cannot be overstated.

15-0 run by SAS to take a 4 point lead with 3 minutes to go :nonono:

Maybe we want the 7th worst. I think it's moved up the past 3.

This game was pretty disgusting. I get it, and i see the logic.

But coming off the 2 biggest crowds in Amway history, on FAN APPRECIATION night, you sit everyone? Like I just feel this was a terrible PR move. And these tickets were super expensive for this game. IDK it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really hope the league addresses this bull ****. I mean hearing all those kids name their favorite player at one point with Dante, and ALL OF THEM were sitting. just terrible.

Simple, don't hold it the final week. Do something else for the final home game and move a fan appreciation night a while before it. Pretty sure this is the organization's **** up.

Nobody needs to address anything during the last few games of the season. If a star gets hurt playing in a meaningless game before the playoffs, that is arguably the worst thing that can happen.

Why would they tank for the 5th seed though?

Again, people need to look at it from the perspective of franchises and not 4% points.

We saw what you all were doing tonight and we had to take our shamelessness up a notch! We couldn't afford the win.

Well played.

Portland: We're going to bench all of our starters and let our young guard cook

Orlando: Ok, we'll do the same.

Portland: Oh... we'll bench the young star then

:lol:

It's the obvious thing to root for now that we are eliminated and with just two games left. Another strong option is Franz, Paolo, and Suggs putting up blinding stat lines.
