Both teams shoot 40 plus threes per game, both top 5 per game.

If we beat them tonight, we should cut the nets down like we won a championship.

We'd go from not being on any of the promos to being the biggest story of the night.

obviously, the fix is in.

So before I get my blood pressure up, I need to ask

If we make the playoffs, our pick this year goes to Chicago….right?

If so, does that benefit us in some way? Hurt us in some way? I mean would the pick going to them next year be better somehow?

Making the playoffs will be fun, so I’m just asking

If we make the playoffs, we convey our pick to Chicago. We do get a pick swap with the Bucks for making the playoffs as well

The first Bucks swap is in 2028 so missing the playoffs this year doesn't necessarily impact if we get that swap or not.

I guess we would open up access to trading the best of our pick, the Bucks' pick and the Magic's pick in the first round of 2028 if we make the playoffs, so that's a draft asset positive for any immediate trade we'd want to make.

No TV? What?

Is there a new prediction game for post season?

Apparently, it's only on Prime. The preview for it did not show any Blazers broadcasting. Is that right @THE HCP ?

Correct FAMS!

Fuckin' Bezos Broadcasting!

I know we should be writing Adam Silver a nasty email over this shit!

Prime owns the rights for the play-in tournament.
