Kings need this win. They can at least make the play in but even if they do they probably aren't getting past the warriors or twolves.

 

[kjironman1]

Western conference is a joke this year. At least the Eastern conference is trying to win games.

??
Yes the eastern conference teams are "trying" to win games while the Western Conference teams are actually winning games.
the currently-8th-seated Orlando Magic are 35-38 while the currently-8th-seated Timberwolves are 41-32.

Yeah that might be way to look at it. Every team from 7-12 in the west is on a losing streak. That was more my point.

 

[kjironman1]

I think the Pelicans won a game?

 

[blazerfan11]

I think the Pelicans won a game?

Yes the Pels beat the 76ers who are now on a league worst six game losing streak.

 

[HailBlazers]

Go Kings!

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Go Kangz

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Yes the Pels beat the 76ers who are now on a league worst six game losing streak.

Luckily for us, miami plays Philly twice more.

 

[blazerkor]

Go Kangz

Yeah go...

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

We’re going to get blown out by 30. I feel it.

 

[KingSpeed]

We’re going to get blown out by 30. I feel it.

No way. Kings in tailspin. We’ve been beating teams like them consistently. And it’s for the tiebreaker.

 

[kjironman1]

So the Mavs are going to win. That is a good thing.

 

[kjironman1]

I’m gonna watch an episode of Peaky Blinders and check back later. It’s not like this will be worth watching the whole game.

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, the Mavericks beat Orlando so Portland's play-in chances took a hit

and, Spurs losing so Portland's lottery chances took a hit too

just another blazer night!

 

[illmatic99]

Miami beat Atlanta.

This is a must lose for us.

 

[Chris Craig]

Keegan going off

Why can't Kris play like that?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

WTB the following things for the Blazers :

1) A coach that knows how to run an offense -- This team is so bad when they face a team that KNOWS what they are doing.
2) A coach that can make them better on D --- They have there moments BUT when they face teams that can shoot this team is so slow to close out on shooter OR just leave them wide open ( see this and last game )

I am sure I am missing something but this list can be added too -- LOL

-- Addon -- WTF is this D -- they are proving my point

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers playing for shit. Not even trying. Heads down. Terrible.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Na na na na .. na na na na -- say hey hey good bye ...

to any chance of getting in the play in

This is fucking pathetic

 

[Chris Craig]

A little bit of life

 

[Ripcity4life77]

This is starting to feel like the last game -- the blazers make just enough runs to make us think they still have a chance when reality is -- prolly not

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Stick to the bit.

 

[blazerkor]

I think Shaedon, Deni and Tou all look engaged and everyone else looks like they've already gone fishing... and although Tou is engaged, he isn't playing up to his usual level of intensity.

 

[blazerkor]

Calabro is right about the Kings intensity on D, some of our guys looking checked out could be frustration due to that intensity.

 

[kjironman1]

So I checked back in. Looks like Simons is trying to keep them in it.
Not a great look?
Back to another episode of Peaky Blinders.

 

[TBpup]

Na na na na .. na na na na -- say hey hey good bye ...

to any chance of getting in the play in

This is fucking pathetic

There are number of players out there that look like they just booked vacations for 2 weeks from now.

 

[Chris Craig]

This team is a disgrace the way they are playing. They are better than this.

 

[Cugel]

Pretty bad defense so far.
