    We’re 17-28 and 6 games behind the 10th spot. In 2016-17, we were 18-27 and ended up with the 8th seed outright! Let’s see how long this win streak lasts. Anyone know our record is when Clingan starts? Did I just jinx us?

    How are we supposed to get Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey in the draft?

    We’ll be just bad enough to not to make the playoffs and just good enough not to get a good pick.

    oh the joys of being a Blazer fan.

    Win streak will end tomorrow when OKC rocks us by at least 25

    So we’re 20-29. I’m having so much fun watching this team. We can absolutely finish 41-41. That’s my hope. Whether or not we make the play-in, it would give the team confidence going into next year. Like Houston last year. And there’s always a good player that can be found at #11 or wherever we’d pick in the draft.

    Winning the play in would be a colossal mistake. This draft is supposed to be loaded. If we lost our 1st this year to Chicago....yikes.

    The two big star of Luka/Fox have a huge impact at the edge of the playin and l
    ottery bubble.

    Spurs are probably likely jumping into the playin. They added Fox and lost nobody of significance.

    Mavs are close to a lock to miss the playin now, they are one game out of 11th, have players like Lively openly questioning the trade, other like Kyrie sitting out, and just lost by 40.

    Warriors have really struggled since the fluky hot start.

    Kings fired their coach and lost depth with Huerter types. LaVine doesn't have time to learn how to play well with new teammates.

    Probably ultimately comes down to us, Warriors, Kings for playin spot #10. Were in the worst spot in the standings but have played by far the best ball of all teams over the last few weeks. All three teams have some good positives but major concerns as well.

    I have seen a fake account of a Lively fan quoted in this sense. But the real one? I don’t find it.
