Your standards are probably pretty high since you cheer for the best free throw shooting team of all time.

That is a good point!

Of course Whiteside is Steve Nash from the FT line for tonight...

I think this sums it up best.

Don't get the reference

There's no reference, they literally play like they just smoked some crack

Feels like most neutral fans (non Blazers/Suns/Grizz) fans are rooting for Portland to lose. I like that, people finally showing us some love.

We beat them this season in Portland when Lillard dropped 60 tho...a Nets win and this is another season sweep for us.

This has basically turned into a game thread for Brooklyn on the Suns board. Probably more Suns fans interested in this one than Nets fans. I hope LeVert keeps going off. Got him on my dynasty team...I imagine his #s suffer next year though....I guess %s could go up and he could get a lot of assists. Does Kyrie like LeVert?

Charles Barkley has never made an incorrect prediction on the outcome of a game.

Would Grizz rather play Portland than us? Doesn't seem like they would because Portland moves ahead of them with a win which requires 2 Grizz wins against them right?

Gosh the Lakers would annihilate the Blazers so badly in a series. Like seriously, the Lakers would score like 130-140+ every game.

Yeah, Portland is going to end it on Saturday vs Memphis. Memphis has no chance against Portland. If Suns made it, it would tough for us to beat them twice, no matter how bad they’ve played. They definitely want Portland to lose.

I think they would rather play us because we would need two wins against them where as they would need two wins against Portland.

Yeah, but the Blazers are really good at scoring too. Tough matchups...Dame, CJ, Carmelo, Nurkic.

Chuck just said Deandre Ayton has to grow up. I mean he just turned 22 but yeah, I agree!

No with AD and McGee in the paint, I doubt these guys would do all that well. Right now they can dribble drive and shoot, against the Lakers they would only be able to shoot imo. It makes them more predictable and easier to defend.

Lilliard just doesn't miss man

Anyone who can defend defend lillard on the pick and roll will obliterate the blazers. It's their whole offense

Oh my...LILLARD.

Damn man Whiteside is actually better lol I wish Nurkic would stay in the game.

Honestly, it's just really too bad Memphis backed into the playoffs. It should be us vs Blazers in a 1 game playoff to get in. I don't think because you are tied and ahead in a tie breaker, it should mean the other team has to beat you twice. If they beat you, they simply have a better record at that point.

I would say I wish the games were balanced, but this extra Portland game is the only reason we are still alive.

Nurkic out and Whiteside in isn't great this game.
