Wow! That's a bold prediction. We'll likely have to beat two really good teams in a row, with the playoffs riding on both games. Hey, if we're going to fuck up tanking we might as well get that experience and free up all of our future picks.

they would have to beat the ninth seed and the sixth or seventh seed. I think those would be good teams especially what the Blazers would have to accomplish to get to the 10th seed. The Blazers would have to be considered good too.

I know you have and I am telling you I think POR makes the playoffs.

It is possible. Although I do expect us to lose our next 5. At best 1-4.

I think we would match up well with the Kings in that first play-in game
But that leaves GS, Clippers, or Twolves in game 2. Not seeing that going well.

Yeah beat the ninth seed on their home court and then the loser of the 7 v 8 game on their home court. That being said anything can happen in a single game elimination situation.

I give us about a 10% chance at making the playoffs after the news about Kyrie.

It still hurts that we lost Drazen so young.

Honestly, it might have been smarter for the Blazers to have kept Drazen, and eventually moved Drexler to the SF spot, and go with Porter, Petro, Drexler, Buck and Duck, and then by the time Buck starts to peter out, Porter, Petro, Drexler, Cliffy and Duck.

And let's say they still signed Rod...Rod, Petro, Drexler, Cliffy and Duckworth is kinda good.

Probably would've prolonged Drexlers peak, and honestly, might have kept them at least somewhat competitive instead of those gawd awful boring post 93 teams.

Mercy, mercy...

And Drazen wasn't really Drazen yet for us, so it didn't seem at the time like we were losing much. Would he ever have developed like that here? Who knows.

his per 36 #'s were pretty consistent his entire career. And I think had he been given starting minutes, 28-34, after the 92 season, he would've been developing fine.

There's a reason why after he was in NJ for 1 season his averages went up to 20+ per game. He was already developed, tbh. Just wasn't getting minutes or any kind of respect from Adleman.
 
What a funny win for the Phoenix Suns tonight over the LA Clippers.

50 Million dollar man (Beal) played 15 minutes and scored 0 points. (Beal is owed $53 mil next season, with a player option for $57 mil in 26-27.)

578k man , Collin Gillespie, played the last 14:20 of the game, scored 10 points, and hit a critical 3-pointer with 36 seconds left in the game to put the Suns up by 5, 119-114.

The Suns ended up winning 119-117, so Gillespie's were the last points scored by them.

Yes but isn’t he supposed to be good?

Crazy game. Almost got to OT. Booker (how much does he make?) went 0/2 at the line. Harden made a FT, missed a FT and Zubac got the ball and almost tied the game but it bounced out.

Per 36 doesn't tell the whole story, though. To be getting the minutes you're saying he deserved at that time, he would have been playing mostly with the starters, where there would have been far fewer shots available.
