Just 1 win or 1 UTA loss clinches HCA

 

[Strenuus]

Don't put your Laker hate ahead of your love for the Blazers. A Laker win tonight really helps our cause. Esp when it comes to resting Dame etc.

There's not enough soap in the world, my friend...

The Jazz play the Warriors the night before they play Portland.

But I suspect the division (and #3 seed) will be decided on the last game of the season.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. We need to rest guys. Gotta win tomorrow. I don't care if it's Houston. They've lost games this year.

It's still 2. Jazz can get to 49 wins and would have the tiebreaker if they beat us in the last game.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Lakers better without Lonzo?

BNM

I said HCA, not 3rd. Don't matter if Jazz get 3rd

 

[Labinot41]

Thank you lakers. Can't belive the spurs lost again in Staples Center haha

 

[KingSpeed]

Actually Spurs could still get 4 seed so we need to win a game. 1 win gives us HCA.

It's 2 wins for the 3rd seed, it's 1 win for HCA in the first round.

 

[hoopsjock]

No, still not accurate because technically every team 4-8 can still tie us. Obviously we own the tiebreaker against some of them but the Jazz losing doesn't change anything other than with them.

 

[hoopsjock]

It's 2 wins for the 3rd seed, it's 1 win for HCA in the first round.

Yes but that isn't what he said, he said a win by us or a Jazz loss. That isn't correct.

 

[Eastoff]

If you all post "I LOVE THE LAKERS" they will win and we will be THAT much closer to locking up that 3rd spot FAMS!

Next level trolling

 

[Boise Blazer]

The Nuggets and the Clippers could really make that race for the last playoff spot even more interesting tomorrow night.

 

[theprunetang]

Gonna be rooting hard for the Clips tomorrow. If they can beat the Jazz, even a Portland loss to Houston wouldn't really mean anything.

 

[DDolla]

C’mon how about one more time Let’s Go Clippers!

 

[Scalma]

If we can’t win one more game we don’t deserve home court.

But if I’m being honest I’m not sure home court would actually be an advantage for us. I like the way this team generally plays on the road and I feel like HCA puts all the pressure on the home team.

 

[THE HCP]

even a Portland loss to Houston wouldn't really mean anything.

I think you should plan on said loss sir.

 

[BonesJones]

We should go fund me a better one. I'm serious as a heart attack. Do you know how much PUB it would get??

We should do it. I'd donate. I could get others to donate to!! Let's really do it! You could put it on your YouTube channel. It would get picked up by the Oregonian.

We should do it!

I'm down!

Let's put in Cleveland!

 

[BonesJones]

I think you should plan on said loss sir.

You should plan on people not seeing your posts!

 

[DDolla]

Hahaha CJ tweet to Frye and Kuzma

I see y’all @kylekuzma @Channing_Frye good looking out

 

[KingSpeed]

If we can't win one more game, then we're not very good on the road lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

If they can beat the Jazz, a Portland win in Houston means everything.

 

[BonesJones]

If they can beat the Jazz, a Portland win in Houston means everything.

Ahhh, I wouldn't say it's be important, just that we got one more win or Utah got one more loss.

 

[BonesJones]

The Jazz play the Warriors the night before they play Portland.

But I suspect the division (and #3 seed) will be decided on the last game of the season.

So we won't win a game before then and/or they won't lose before then?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So we won't win a game before then and/or they won't lose before then?

Very possible. The way they've been playing, likely even.

 

[kjironman1]

 

[PtldPlatypus]

0.1% chance instead of 0.01%?

 

[Eastoff]

That's just some BS that CJ said in his poscast. We can't sign Lebron and we wouldn't trade for him.

 

[illmatic99]

Yes but that isn't what he said, he said a win by us or a Jazz loss. That isn't correct.

Good call. I messed that up

 

[illmatic99]

He said that about Philly, not Blazers. Dude wasn't even listening.
