[wizenheimer]

Indy lost to Detroit, at home. They are just better at tanking. Blazers won't catch them now

 

[DDolla]

The Pels are not beating the Clippers or the Twolves on the road. They will finish the season #9 or #10

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Hawks were 10 games behind the Nets on Jan 15th. Now they’re ahead of them.

Hawks were 10 games behind the Nets on Jan 15th. Now they’re ahead of them.

Didn't they have a good run at the end of last year also? They hired McMillan and started winning?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[wizenheimer]

now that is 70 seconds of prime tanking level offense that every tanking team should add to their tanking playbook and work on in their tanking practices

 

[e_blazer]

So, tonight’s Blazers fans tanking rooting plan: Go Kings!
go Spurs!
Go Thunder!!

I feel dirty now.

and it can become chronic!

 

[e_blazer]

and it can become chronic!

True, but let's hope it only lasts 4 more games.

And I forgot:

GO SUNS!!!

Because, FUCK THE LAKERS is always true.

I wonder what the Suns will do? They don't have to win any more games. They have clinched #1 throughout.

why do I suspect that if we all could see your browsing history, rooting for the Spurs is probably one of the least dirty things you've done...be honest now!

Why would they not want to push the Lakers out of playoff contention? If the Lakers got healthy and hit a hot streak, they could still be dangerous.

that's a stretch. Their record has been worse than ours since we started tanking.

 

[PCmor7]

This really needed to end where it started with Mitchell Robinson getting hit in the head by a teammate's pass from point-blank range.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Lakers even if healthy are not that dangerous -- maybe for 1st round but after that they become fodder

As much as it sucks that the Blazers are lotto bound it helps to know the Lakers will be sitting at home too and one could argue IF the GM does not screw this up the Blazers have a better future then the Lakers at least on paper.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Didn't they have a good run at the end of last year also? They hired McMillan and started winning?

Yep. But in this case, they made up 10 games on the #1 seed. Incredible.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Lakers dangerous? Lakers getting hot? Lakers in first round? They will likely be eliminated from the play-in tonight.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

True. It is Lebron and AD. They can win games.
The other side of that is why chance any other injuries. They will play Chris Paul back into shape but other than that?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Pacers just cut Sixers 27 point lead down 8!!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Down to 6 and possible flagrant foul by Philly.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Flagrant 2!!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

4 point game!

 

[e_blazer]

Lakers dangerous? Lakers getting hot? Lakers in first round? They will likely be eliminated from the play-in tonight.

The question was whether the Suns would try hard to win tonight. I was just saying that when you get the chance to kick the Lakers out of the playoffs and avoid AD and LBJ even potentially being a factor, you do it.

They just said on the Pelicans game that Zion has been cleared for 5 on 5.

Interesting!

Oh shit! If that dude is playing like he has in the past that team could get through the Wolves or Clippers... fuck Cronin if we lose that pick.

 

[Strenuus]

Do we know if that's 5 on 5 practice or full game participation?

If it's practice then he's still a few days away and should be on a minutes restriction if he does even come back in time. Remember, this is the last week of the regular season lol.

So chill. When the trade was made Zion was in Portland and no one knew what the hell was going on with him.

 

[Pinwheel1]

It could just as easily fuck up their current chemistry. (Short term that is)

I will chill when the pick conveys and I will not be chill towards Joe if the pick doesn't.

Since he was just cleared for one on one practice three days ago I would think that it's just practice for now.

 

[blazerkor]

Kings really kinged up the end of this third quarter.
