I'll be at this game with the fam!

[Chris Craig]

I know some of them are actually injured/had season ending surgeries and such. Seems like some are just being held out. Silver going to fine them for tanking?

 

[BigGameDamian]

This is the type of game where Deni could go for 90pts.

 

[blazerfan11]

This is the type of game where Deni could go for 90pts.

How about Yang going for 37 points against Sacramento in the last game of the season, just like rookie Simons did in 2019.

 

[Everything Beagle]

This is the type of game where Deni could go for 90pts.

He better do it in 8 minutes before he’s rested for the night lol

 

[Everything Beagle]

I would like to see Shae play his full allotment of minutes tonight with Scoot and Deni to get his reps in but other than that I hope everyone avoids injury.

 

[BassPlaya]

Yea!!! The game thread!!!

 

[blazerfan11]

Yea!!! The game thread!!!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I can't see any scenario where we lose this game.

 

[blazerkor]

I can't see any scenario where we lose this game.

I think a loss is highly unlikely if our guys are dialed in and if they can't dial in for a game this important, that'll be mind boggling.

That said, this group has shown an ability to lose against the scrubs of a lot of teams. Our guys have had a big problem playing down to the level of what should be less competitive lineups.

 

[THE HCP]

I'll be at this game with the fam!

If @crandc doesn’t do a good job on the Portland Fire game threads, maybe one of your kids can take over?

 

[THE HCP]

I can't see any scenario where we lose this game.

WOW!

 

[Chris Craig]

If @crandc doesn’t do a good job on the Portland Fire game threads, maybe one of your kids can take over?

Ha

 

[Everything Beagle]

I can't see any scenario where we lose this game.

I was at the game where we lost to Golden State when they played six guys. never say never.

 

[riverman]

Clippers are sitting Leonard tonight so they're tanking the 8th seed. They probably want the Warriors in the playin instead of the Suns.

 

[blazerkor]

Clippers are sitting Leonard tonight so they're tanking the 8th seed. They probably want the Warriors in the playin instead of the Suns.

If that is their reasoning they are fools because they could either face the Suns and if they lose have another chance at winning against the winner of 9 v 10 or just be in a single elimination situation.

Possibly they're looking at the draft. They may see us winning tonight as a foregone conclusion. So, if we win tonight and they lose tongiht... then subsequently both us and the Clippers lose out in the play-in, then they don't have to share lotto odds with us or worry about a coin flip.

 

[Chris Craig]

If @crandc doesn’t do a good job on the Portland Fire game threads, maybe one of your kids can take over?

You know I'm going to make them.

 

[blazerfan11]

Veet is back .

 

[riverman]

Veet is back .

Hope his shot is back too!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Clippers are sitting Leonard tonight so they're tanking the 8th seed. They probably want the Warriors in the playin instead of the Suns.

I think they realize the kings aren't winning tonight so it's better to rest Leonard and have him rested for Tuesday.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The PDX jersey for the last regular season game

 

[crandc]

Saw a guy on BART yesterday with PDX cap. I might have spoken to him but he had his arm around his, I presume, boyfriend and both had noses in phones whole trip.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Blazers know DC is camped in the paint and the team needs to rotate better but DC also needs to get out a little better too. This is a team defense problem that needs to be solved / corrected or this will come back to bite them at some point when it counts ( playoffs / play in )

 

[Ripcity4life77]

DC gets no respect from the refs i think he gets more ticky tack fouls then anyone on team outside of maybe Camara

 

[Quatro44]

Letting the kings hang around

 

[Chris Craig]

The Kings leftovers can play

 

[blazerkor]

Not a great first quarter. Hope Deni is alright.
